i dont hate the idea but i wonder how injured Bryant Johnson is because he still seems a better option than Mason. If he can't go then against the ravens then it makes more sense, but still, there isnt much he can pick up in a week. All I can think is that you play Mason and push JJ to the slot, which is where he belongs. He isn't an everydown #2 without AJ in there. He was just bad.
NICE!!!! The dude hasn't depended on his speed in 5 years, so he knows how to get open, run crisp routes, and move the chains despite his age. Love it.
1,000+ receiving yards in 8 of the last 10 season and average of 6 TDs a year in that span. 800 yards and 7 TDs just last year. Sure he's old and has to learn a new system on the fly, but he's a nice veteran pickup that won't cause problems in the locker room. And he can catch. Good move.
