Early games thread

the reason i say it's a grave error is b/c rob ryan wanted him, he was overruled. watt is the type of player who can win games for you by himself. i honestly believe if we had him the last 3 years, we make the playoffs all 3 years. he makes at least one game difference in each season and ware is probably still a cowboy.

After winning their division the two years before that. A lot of the same players are still there and the Texans have a much better coach.

They have a good team but the QB is crap.

What's interesting about this is it appears Cowboys defensive coordinator Rob Ryan pleaded with the front office to draft Watt over Smith. Or at least that's what his brother, New York Jetscoach Rex Ryan said Wednesday afternoon in a conference call with the Houston media in anticipation of Monday night's clash.

"Well, the first thing, you love the fanatical effort," Rex Ryan said. "The guy plays with his hair on fire and that’s something you notice. But the size, strength, athleticism; it’s rare to find a guy with that kind of combination. I know my brother was wanting him when he was in Dallas. He lost out in that battle. They took that tackle instead. We kept saying, 'You got to get this kid, you got to get this kid.' And sure enough, Houston ends up with him.
