As I recall our first team offense only played like 6-8 plays all preseason up untill the last game. Portis playing with the 1st line offense and Betts picking up after untill the 3rd quarter where either Rock would start or Mason got his chance...against 2nd/3rd stringers.

This was the last game of the preseason against Jacksonville. Mason played basically the whole game and these were his stats:

1st Qtr (Jax 1st team defense): 3 carries, 13 yds.
2nd Qtr (Jax backups): 3 carries, 2 yds
3rd/4th Qtr (against the scrubs): 11 carries, 36 yds.

So he played in the 1st quarter and managed 13 yds against Jax's 1st team defense, and 2yds in the 2nd quarter. In the 2nd he probably played against the backups.
