Not sure whether you're being sarcastic or not.


Are you honestly holding out hope for the guy? I'm not even sure why we picked up his option. He's a more injured Robert Williams

He played two full seasons without injury in college and had a minor injury that he came back from his rookie season.

Yes I don't think it makes sense to shut him down 1 week into the season.

You obviously missed the footage of Mark jumping up and down in the locker room pouring champagne on Coach Lee after the first victory in Houston LOL

pretty sure he was bouncing on his tip toes which might actually be impressive for him given his injury

Jonathan Mogbo Is starting. In my very very limited research of second round level talent this was a dude that I thought would have been great for our team. Hoping he would fall to us in the second round. Curious to see how he looks tonight

We get way more help blocks/blocks from behind with Lee running things.
