Things are much more settlednow. The Texans have moved Williams from the left end to the right sideon a permanent basis. That's the side for pass rushers on most teams.It's usually where speedy 260-pound players come off the corner. At6-feet-6 and 290 pounds, Williams is one of the bigger right ends.
To help prepare for the move, and hopefully increase his speed, he hashired a chef to help him with his eating. In the past, he would usuallystop for fast food since he didn't really have time to cook. Now he hasprepared meals waiting for him when he gets home, mostly healthy stuff.
"I've leaned up," Williams said, although his weight is the same. "NowI just pop the meals in the microwave and eat. And I eat lots ofhealthy vegetables and fruit."

Excellent article. Thanks for the link. I'm starting to think maybe some writers in the national media are starting to hear our cries for fairness. I think Prisco's opinion of Mario is spot on. I particularly liked the following excerpt:
No matter what he does the rest of his career -- only in its second year -- Williams will always be targeted as the blown pick by the Texans, passing on a star runner and a freakish quarterback.

That just isn't fair.

While Bush and Young had nice rookie seasons, with Young winning the NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year award for the Tennessee Titans and Bush part of the New Orleans Saints' feel-good season. Williams saw his game picked apart on a regular basis. It didn't help when Young ran 39 yards for a touchdown in overtime to give the Titans a 26-20 victory over the Texans in his return to Houston last season.
But give Williams time. He will be a pass-rush force and five years from now Williams will be known for more than just being that guy.
You will be penciling in All-Pro next to his name. For now, he has to hear the talk of how he's the player the Texans shouldn't have drafted.
