Yeah Mason didn't have a good game, and because he doesn't have good speed it shows when he isn't playing perfect in terms of angles and positions.

But saying he's too slow to play ILB is absurd IMO (not you but I read that somewhere in the thread).
When Mason plays well he's one of our most valuable player: smart as F, tackling machine, excellent in coverage...
(Oh and BTW he had 2 turnovers yesterday...)

Plus Ryan Anderson is really coming along at OLB, why change it? I was thinking he should move to OLB in a 4 - 3 last year but this year he took a huge way forward at OLB in our 3 - 4 system.

Because Mason Foster is athletically limited. I have nothing but good things to say about his work ethic and the time he puts in in the film room.

But there's always games every year where he gets exposed. Doesn't anybody want another Fletch at the mike?

I agree but I feel that for every other game where he gets exposed he has several awesome games.
Now, if we draft a young stud at ILB and he wins the starting job over Mason I won't bitch about the improvement!

What I don't think would be a good idea is transition Ryan Anderson from OLB to ILB while he's having a solid season and progressing week after week!
