This could be Mario’s super season
Quote:
If Texans coach Gary Kubiak did not think Mario Williams could handle the pressure, he would not have put his Pro Bowl defensive end under the microscope recently.
“We hope Mario will play well enough to battle for the defensive-player-of-the-year award,” Kubiak said.
That’s a lofty expectation for Williams, especially since he hasn’t played on a team with a winning record. But team success translates into individual reward.
“To have that come from my coach means a lot,” Williams said Tuesday before the second day of the team’s conditioning program. “It means he believes in me and has a lot of faith in me.”
It goes without saying that Kubiak and his assistants expect Williams to have his best season. He became a premier player at his position over the last two seasons. Now they expect him to compete for the award that goes to the league’s best defensive player each year.
“Yeah, definitely,” Williams said when asked if he can win the award.
