Mayo brings the mustard

I hope you see what I did there--went with a condiment theme because his name is Mayo. I even heard Henne telling his guard to "hold the mayo."  Ok--I am done.   I don't start many threads, but I noticed Mayo got a lot of buzz in the game day thread, but this guy is tearing up the preseason.  We need to find a way to get him on the field, and I have some thoughts about that and a few other observations comments to get the ball rolling. 

1.  Play him when games are decided instead of Luke.  I never understood why NFL teams risk injury by playing starters with a 24-point lead in the fourth.  Build your depth and eliminate injury and end-of-season fatigue.  Mayo would hold his own.

2. Take a look at Mayo behind TD.  If he can play there, we could be set there for a while.  I like him better at MLB, but he reads nearly as quickly as Luke---and that is more important that foot speed.  OK--here is one:  If he were to take TD's starting spot one day, you could call them Luke and Dukes. And if Cash were to replace Shaq, you would have Luke and Dukes and Dukie.   I am on fire.

3.  Trade him.  I know that is not a popular concept, but we have a ton of depth (Norris and Jacobs and Boulware) behind him.  A team, especially a 3-4. might give up a nice player or draft pick for Mayo, especially if there is an injury that threatens their season.  If we can't find a place for him on the field, we need to get a player for him that can find the field.   A Safety, perhaps?  I hate saying this because I LOVE Mayo and I love the players we have like him, but if you look at the business side...

Not sure I agree, but I bet he would relish the opportunity

    • You’re playing madden we’re talking real football stuff…. He does have you seen his special on internet he def thinks he’s getting paid 
    • Without the team having an identity kinda hard to predict what they value.  They either are really trying to build a balanced team, or preparing for another swing at qb if Bryce doesn’t pan out. Seems like we value the o line but the $ spent there has been underwhelming besides Lewis, you could say it’s because of injuries but still hasn’t been worth the investment. as already stated, the whole handling of Bryce young as a whole has been ass backwards, we spent the years we’re supposed to take advantage of having a qb with a lower cap hit, building the team up to be adequate. now It appears, key word appears, the saints have done it correctly, which is painful to even think about. Regardless, I hope the front office has paid attention to qb contracts recently, such as Tua, Kyler, Daniel jones(pre colts) and don’t settle for subpar qb play at franchise qb rates    
    • This is the flaw in your logic.  Cutting 3 of our best players will somehow move us from whatever we are to "compete". Even the most Young super fans are not predicting a ceiling above top 10-12, and that will not nearly cut it.  Someone will need to break the log jam of QBs getting nothing or North of 50. Our qb is at best a middle ground, lets hope it will be us that also manage to pay the worth at about 100 over 3 years.  And before you jump me, yes that is only of he improves.
