The coaches thought they could create mismatches by lining Mario up all over the place and some of us complained at the time that this was actually holding him back. Yes, his heel problems were an issue, as was his habit of standing up to read the play rather than staying low and maintaining leverage, but in his first training camp they were using him all over the line which I thought was bound to slow his development. He isn't exactly the brightest bulb to begin with.
