Glen is right

He was, except and until Lee threw the 2nd pick, he was blaming everybody else but Lee for all his int's this year. I think, by the end of the game, he finally understood
Mason was giving Lee benefit of the doubt on previous picks early on but was clearly blaming Lee for both picks yesterday and even advocating sitting him.
Why give Lee a pass? Because Mason is a dimwit that watched no film to prepare for the game. Just read the production notes and showed up like the semi-pro BTN announcer he is. You want to fire someone - fire him and put Kugler on the daily shows at least he would show up prepared to talk about something other than what he is handed to read.
Mason knows more about football than either you or me, and a lot of people enjoy his broadcast. I wish he was our coach - still considers NU as a marquis job.
Looks like someone missed a blocking assignment of the blitzing linebacker on the back end. I don't know the design of the play, but maybe Gates should have come off the double team (that wasn't very effective). But, why is the hand-off 7 yards behind the LOS. Sure seems to me that the RB should be getting a head of steam toward the hole (looks like play was designed to be run at a specific gap) and the hand-off should only be 4-5 yards from the line of scrimmage so that the RB is much closer to the lead blocking TE.
The fact that when Glen is on the broadcast it sounds like Fred Willard is a bonus. Love his character in Best in Show.
or 89 could have attempted to block anyone. If you are going to have someone pull, they have to touch a defender.
Well, if the RB was closer to 89 that would have pulled the OLB toward the hole and set him up to be blocked by 89. Timing just a little off and I think that is why our offense is so inconsistent.
My only theory is they expected the LB's mind to be SO BLOWN by the counter action that the TE would happen across him trying to go to that 9 gap and force a run the RB who wasn't there back to the inside.
