For the record; when Campbell scrambled for the touchdown, Dockery completely whiffed on Richard Seymour and Mason picked him up to spring Campbell. I know it's just one play, but I think it shows that Mason is at least and average blocker. I think we're all a bit spoiled by the fact that Portis is arguably the best blocking halfback in the league.

You are right about that play and Mason deserves props for that. But there were two other times the other night when he whiffed his blocks.
