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...

 

Because it's easy to blow a 24 point lead in the fourth.

I agree that a key starter or two should be held out in these sorts of situations. Not only are you protecting them from injury, but you're better developing your players to be prepared in case injury comes. It would probably tick guys like Kuechly off, though.

Hey, I didn't bring up Pickles. That was Snake.

to quote Carter from Disjointed on Netflix now...

"oh, here we go...ya know the tragic this about pickles?

No matter how hard they try, they will never ever, ever, ever, ever, ever...be cucumbers again!

Innocents lost, but still, so delicious."

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

Dang!!!  I had Peppers just sitting there and left it alone.  I blame myself. We could have put all this in a Coleman cooler. 

Maybe someone could start another thread about the DEs, centering on Johnson and Cox.
