I don't think anyone hates Mason, a lot of can just see that he's had chances and never really showed anything outside of some preseason games.

If the shoe fits wear it. Don't be ashamed of it. If it doesn't ...who cares. No need to get defensive or call it 7th grade when others have used it on this site in many other threads.

but I concede ....MM must not be as good as "I" thought he was. I'll say he's still a good runner if thats all thats asked of him. He's got good speed and elusiveness, but he simply can't block. Time to move on.

A few minutes later though he said he likes Vinny and thinks he's a good football guy who "knows what he's doing", so take his thoughts with a serious grain of salt.

I thought the same thing about Cerrato.....just kidding. I did wonder why we didn't go look on some other teams PS to pick up some good sized LT and RT to fill our void. If they worked out then we could pick up some back talent next yr. I guess Levi is not a bad stop gap for now. Heck a couple of teams raided our PS last yr or two yrs ago.

Thank you!! I think he only got 3 carries, that doesn't prove shit if he can play.

I scanned through and couldn’t find anything. What is Levi Jones contract?

Haven't seen any info on it yet. All that I know is that the Bengals didn't want him, and the Lions and Packers passed him over too.. and that he's had injuries.

Hopefully he'll work out for a couple of years at least.
