I'm operating on the same principle but it's clear to me that Mario is a true 4-3 DE and nothing else. I do not rule out the possibility that Wade and friends will find ways to make Mario effective in their defense but that will require a level of intelligence and creativity that we have not seen out of any group of coaches in the team's history. But as Fonz points out it is a contract year and that should provide some motivation. But my guess is that Mario is not in the team's long-term plans.
