I don't know what the Texans could have done about the 49ers preempting their plans to draft Smith unless you think they should have coughed up a third round pick and and traded spots with the 49 ers ? Do you really think Smith was worth our 2011 first & third round picks ?

Wasn't commenting on moving up to get Aldon Smith, as you well know. I was saying I'm going to see how well he plays for the 49'rs.

Well here it is after the 11th game of the year, and guess who is playing very well for S.F. - yes for all you dissenters, Aldon Smith is playing on a very good defensive line, and he has more than vindicated himself. I know we didn't even have a chance to draft him.

I might add that our first round pick, J.J. Watt is playing just as well.

I just wanted to make the point.

I also would like to make the point that Brooks Reed has more than vindicated himself too....along with Barwin.

They are a terrific young OLB combo, and given the price tag it would seem to make Marios retention here in Houston less and less likely ?

Wouldn't surprise me if we find a way to keep both Mario and Arian.
