“I felt like I stayed after, caught some balls, came in early”.
One of the things Mayock is best at as analyst is chronicling the misadventures of gunners and the guys trying to block them, something he knows from his own brief National Football League playing experience. “To go from one offense to another offense, playbook to playbook, home to home, you’ve just got to pick up on it”.
“I just felt like, he talked potential, he wanted me to do more and I tried to do everything I could do and things didn’t work out”, he said at his locker at Heinz Field. “They wanted the little details, so you gotta give them the little details”.
