He was cut from the Redskins, never made it off the Ravens practice squad, and is third or fourth string on the Jets. So Jones is having a good year, why has'nt Mason made it to 2nd string? The fact is , we cut him, so to keep talking about it is not only irrelevent but assinine.

Umm. Hoss I was responding to what you said. Your points are really unfounded. For one. The Ravens Had McGahee, Rice and the other big back. The Jets have 3 backs also. One got hurt so they brought Mason in. Conventional wisdom would be to bring in someone who already knew the system and who would have been just as cheap. Plus when teams have backs that they are paying big money or drafted high. They are going play them. have you ever though that he got cut because we kept extra defensive backs WRs or D-Lineman..Which aren't even panning out.
It was a numbers game and that's why he got cut. he recevied more than enough accolades from Zorn and Zorn jsut doens't give out praise just for the hell of it. Last but 31 teams passed on Alexander. So think about that..Jets or the Ravens could have picked him up. But they didn't. He had upside and alexander didn't that's the point. I could care less about if Mason makes the tema or not. But people are bashing him for no reason and acting like because he was the leading rusher in preseason that he is garbage. Only thing he did wrong was miss some blocks and fumble a kick-off return. Wichi could have been corrected and he would have ran better with a in sync O-line. Get a clue. This discussion is dead..I was responding to your comment...
