Alot of people are now coming to the knowledge of how Mario is helping the whole team. In case you havent thought of it, here is a list on how he is doing it.
For defense
1. Ok.. The obvious. He was brought in to increase a horrible pass rush. We had very few sacks last year and his presence, and his play ethic will become exactly what we need. I dont how many times I saw Payton or other QB's with 10-15 seconds to pass. If you have that long, something will always open up.
2. How he his helping the secondary. With providing a pass rush, the QB has less time to throw the ball and make reads. This gives more chances of errors in play. Error in play can only help us with interceptions, or knocked down passes. Routes have to be cut quicker, and things happen when the tempo gets changed.
For Offense.
1. How can he help our offensive line? Think about it.. If he is on your team, you learn (as a off lineman) on what might work or not work against a Freeney. He is a constant threat to the QB and forces our line to get better or run over.
2. How can he help our RB/FB. You have a massive force on one side of the ball, what do you have to do to get around it, or escape it. This is the Question that our RB/FB have to think about when going against a team with a Freeney type on thier team. In the past, we couldnt practice what we would do in real time, only analyze and guess. With Mario, you can run real time to see if your they are able to work thier theorys.
3. TE? You need to know when you need to block or need to know when you need to open for a pass so the QB can drop it to you.
4. QB? David couldnt practice only having 1.5 seconds to do something because he didnt have anyone (even with our online) he had to 'fear'. Now, even though it is practice, he has to make quicker decisions which prepare him for games against a strong dline.
1 Mario has already done alot for this team.
