Im not knockin the guy I think he's awesome and should win DROY when its all said and done. I just hope he could get a sack or INT before the season ends that would be awesome.

What you are really trying to say is that Mayo is NOTmaking enough big plays for you?

slash83

He's been our best LB and has far exceeded expectations as a rookie. Just saying a pic or sack would top off an incredible season for him. To answer your question has he not made enough big plays for me, he has far excceded my expectations of him and I would still think nothing short of an incredible season for him. Would I like to see more impact plays from him like an INT or sack yeah I would and im sure im not the only one here who would.

He doesn't rush the passer enough at the ILB position to really be counted upon for a sack. He has applied pressure when he has blitzed.

I'm not looking for INTs, a nice pass deflection is fine by me - or even better, not seeing passes completed in his area. He's gotten way better at the POA against the run as the season has gone on and also improved tremendously in coverage. Big plays or not, he's been great for us.

He's progressing nicely, 'nuff said.

This is one of those statistic request, in reality it does not make any difference... as long as he does what is expected of him in any specific game plan.. all of this will come as he matures, and we have a better D backfield.

I have only one request of Mayo: Don't get hurt!!

Well said.

And good point about the DBs. For an ILB to get an INT, it should be the case that the QB is making a risky throw, and he should only be doing that if the throws to the DBs were even riskier.

When are the WRs THAT well-covered this year?

Tough to ask Mayo for more at this stage. His play has been better than anyone should have expected from a rookie.

He's not a guy who would be classified as a playmaker yet but there is no reason to think that won't come based on what we've seen.

The group of guys whose big plays personified the defense during the championship years are either gone (Law, Willie Mac) or on their way out (Rodney, Tedy, Vrabel). Finding playmakers for the back 8 should be the top priority in the offseason.

He's out in coverage most of the time on passing plays ... it is what it is and he's done a great job.
