Mayes was out of shape again in 1999, and struggled under the new offensive system of Gary Crowton. He started nine games, catching eight passes for 82 yards. I don't know what my identity on this team is supposed to be. I'm still trying to figure that out. Crowton said the Bears' initial plan is to use the tight ends more inside the opponent's 20-yard line, the Red Zone.
Talk is talk.
We have to go out and prove that. Mayes reported to Platteville at his target weight of 265. He changed his body. He's a lot more lean now. It all depends on how this offense goes.
