"He needs to own those A-gaps, then he definitely has the ability to go out there and play some (3-technique), but that's what he was drafted for. This system obviously heightens that more than the last system. ... He has a new system that definitely suits him very well."

Keep building on those positive days Mazi. We need you this year!

Having a system he fits into should really help him.

It's good to hear he's headed in the right direction...........I guess we can believe Mike (lol)

I don't recall him being injured

He did surgery in the off season , but don’t know what for

If some of the people that hang around here have any idea what they are talking about with regard to his technique, I don’t think his weight much matters.

Yeah it said 4 to 6 months recovery time back in March but did not say the nature. I would think this would hinder his full offseason an strength development that is so important going into year 2 but so far the reports seem positive I guess?.

Fat Mike needs to loan Mazi about 20 lbs of muscle.

Ive seen the improvement this season from Mazi. Colggin up the lanes and taking on the dbls. There are still times when he gets pushed back and taken out of the play.
I think he will get better as the season goes on.

He can definitely lend some fat , but 20 lbs of muscle , nope . LOL

I'm hearing good and bad about Mazi at camp. I don't know what to believe, so I will reserve judgement for what I see on gamedays.

I really hope for a miracle with Mazi but the writing is on the wall unfortunately. He’s going to be a massive detriment in the run game and doesn’t have the shiftiness needed to be an effective 3rd down tackle.

 

[FaSho]

Still talking about him playing 3T? Ugh lol

 

[FuzzyLumpkins]

He just needs to be a two down player for this defense to be a success.

"The previous regime screwed him."

And he's right.
