Anybody even notice Mazi out there?

[jazzcat22]

oh come on. we have faced plenty of QBs that are no real risk of running for anything, that is such a cop out.
He has had a fair number of chances to show he can rush the passer and he has failed. That is the reason the coaches do not expect him to do it not because of some master plan

And you know what was asked of him. You been in the game planning preparations?

It's like you have never been around kids or really anything that grows and learns.

Meanwhile you already have all the answers. How droll.

you play with the pieces you have and the better you can fit your gameplan to the pieces you have the better it will look....the defense wanted to be able to clog the middle and push the edges on early downs....they used their pieces correctly to do this..again if we had Chris Jones, the plan would be diferent...we dont

Hendricks is our sack leader at 2.

You mean Kendricks , , D law has 2 also

That's not how NT works.

Really, I remember Jay Ratliff's name being mentioned a few times during games when he was here or how about Vince Wilfork with NE, his name was mentioned a few times too. Our guy is playing into yr 2 and needs to start manhandling his opponents, like Parsons does and he's a lot smaller than Mazi.

No, this is wrong. Enjoy the improvement. He will only get better.

That is the expectation.
Ahem ... but, old fellow, based on his development so far, tha 4th round valuation is more likely. But there is value in grooming players, developing them, whispering in their ear, massaging egos: "The chap has a great work ethic and is a team leader ... the 5-fumble/picks notwithstanding. "

My cheeks are red. Sorry. In me haste to anoint Kendricks ... well, the post-game excitement and such.
Carry on then, good fellow.

I will take the teams word over yours, which is blinded.

Remember that next time you go clamoring for a Nose Tackle with a first round pick.


You dont take players like him with premium picks. That was dumb.

Had it panned out it was still dumb.

A late 1st is essentially a 2nd. Getting a starter at any spot besides special teams is good at that point imo.

This is from the mailbag article on the team web site.

Both answers sum up what Mazi's role is, as well as the other DT's are supposed to be.
Free up the LB's to make plays. And that is what happened.
