Wade really expects Mario to be the Texans' DeMarcus Ware

[popanot]

If offenses have to account for Mario and it opens up the path for one of the other guys to slam Manning into the ground, then Mario at OLB should be considered effective. Who cares if it's Mario that gets to the QB just as long as SOMEONE gets to the QB? Especially as putrid as this pass rush and defense has been over the years. Mario may care, but I'm sure the Texans will compensate him nicely regardless of sack total as long as he's disruptive and the D improves.
