Play in a league where they start Pro Bowl voting way too early, and come on very strong the second half of the season after a lot of ballots have been cast. Not to mention on a team that doesn't get much national air time.How do you get named DL of the year and not make the pro bowl?

I can't say that I've heard of this award before. Who's won it in the past?

I agree . the pro bowl votes are a joke . M Barber should have never made it eather . And there is a line men with 14 sacks and he gets snubbed . Poor Texans . To mant Cowboys fans . people in Texas need to wake up and rout for a classy organization . like the Texans instead of Jerrys CowboysBecause the Pro Bowl is like the Academy Awards.

Out of roughly 40 picks the Texans used in the draft before Kubiak came to the team, Casserly netted the Texans about 3 players still with the team who are above average at their position (and I'm counting Mathis as a kick returner in including him, though he could be cut this off-season). Only 9 of those 40 players are still with the team, and only a handful more are still in the league. Most of the players that Casserly signed in free agency were released for lack of performance compared to what Casserly signed them to.Casserly has zero room for I told you so's. Kubiak had the final say in the draft where Mario was taken. Casserly was the single biggest reason the Texans were a non-factor in the NFL for their first 4 years.

Kampman had a great year, but Mario's stats are better in every category except TKL's and it's 48 for him vs 43 for Mario. However Mario has 3 more assists, 3 more sacks, another FF, a FTD and a PD.Someone would be hard pressed to argue stat-wise for a reason the DE's that made it into the pro-bowl in front of him.
The turn about is amazing. This time last year, everyone on ESPN was talking about how horribly the Texans messed up. Now, you have guys on ESPN saying they think the Saints are better off with Bush hurt.Mario Williams was the worst mistake ever, completely overrated. He HAD to dominate as a rookie to justify drafting him over Reggie Bush. However, The Texans don't seem too disappointed in him this year. And for all the criticism the pundits on ESPN sent his way last year...he can't seem to find mentioin on the network THIS year.Time to open the Reggie Bush vs Mario Williams debate again ?

um... what? Mario's proven to be a stud. Although the Houston D is still below average.
I would agree about Allen, too bad he's such a boozer and missed 2 games this year. Character concerns are a major issue with him (3 DUI's in 4 years.)
