Phillips has been doing this a LONG time, if he thinks it will work, then I'll buy it until I see differently in a REAL game or three.

I agree with this, way to early, and I hope Mario has a great year and stays a Texan for a long time.

Overall, the defense has gotten 11 sacks and allowed fairly few points to what is considered high powered offenses. I guess if Mario had 1 or 2 of those 11 sacks we would be feeling better right now.

I guess defense teamwork on run prevention and secondary still was weak at start of last game but seemed to get better as game progressed.

The offense had a quick start, why was that, due to two short passes to Hback Casey?
