Mayo brings the mustard

[MHS831]

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

Mayo needs to be peppered into some of our defensive snaps.

Lettuce know if you have more thoughts on the matter.

Not quite ready for a starting role yet, he needs another year of seasoning.
