The Jets were reportedly disappointed with Derrick Mason because he wasn't learning the playbook as quickly as expected. Given his experience, a new playbook shouldn't have been a major hurdle for Mason. The 37-year-old flew home to Nashville every Monday and Tuesday to be with his family, though, leaving little time for diligent homework. On at least a couple of occasions, TV cameras caught Mason out of place because he didn't know the play. He can't be expected to be a major contributor for the Texans right out of the gate.
