*RB Marcus Mason got only three carries last night because of lingering rib soreness from the shot he took a week ago against New England. Coaches said last week that Mason needed to improve in pass protection and on special teams. So how'd he do, coach?

"I thought the he probably did more in pass protection than he needed to," Zorn said. "He was doing some thing last night when we did have him in. He was trying to chip a defensive end when he didn't have to chip a defensive end because we had him blocked. He's very willing to strike a blow. The thing that I want to see more of out of him if he has the opportunity to be here is to get into his routes and really run his pass routes instead of being so conscious of the pass protection. He's got to get into his routes quicker."

Mason must be going crazy. They tell him all summer to work on his pass protection...and then they tell him not to worry about pass protection so much. I think they're purposely playing jedi mind tricks on him
