Default Wade really expects Mario to be the Texans' DeMarcus Ware

The more tape Wade Phillips watches of Texans defensive end Mario Williams, the more he sees DeMarcus Ware.Phillips, who's switching the Texans' defense to a 3-4, isn't comparing Williams to the Dallas Cowboys' Ware, an outside linebacker who is the NFL's pre-eminent pass rusher. But he is putting Williams at the same position that has enabled Ware to register an NFL-high 60½ sacks over the last four seasons and 80 in his six-year career.

"I feel great about it," Williams said about moving to weak-side linebacker. "What an opportunity for me."Wade told me he'll put me in the best position to make plays, and the biggest thing that got my attention was when he said, 'Just go.' He wants me to get after the quarterback 90 percent of the time. He said, 'When the ball's snapped, I want you to go, be fast and get the quarterback.'
