Titanium said:. I read an article that stated that the only team that might be willing to trade for Mariota is the Bears. Can we be so lucky?

I don't think Amy wants to get rid of him. A four year deal may be in the works. Lol
 
One important aspect about the "benching of Mariota" that the organization no doubt was looking for was a significant improvement in the number of sustained drives and an increase in point production. This not happening, folks. If anything, it's declining.

Either Mariota and Tannehill are incapable of moving the offense or Vrabel & Smith are bad coaches. I think that question has already been answered.

The Titans know that Mariota performed better under a more seasoned and experienced coaching staff. They're now stuck with the least experienced of them all and the offense is appalling. Oh sweet Lorraine, we've taken a huge step down since OC Lafleur and he wasn't all that above average. The organization knows about the decline, they're not overlooking it, right? For the team's sake, I hope not.

The drop has been the difference in having clothes on and not having them on. Shameful! The Titan organization hast to try something to make this offense less embarrassing or be laughed out of dodge.

The only thing they're willing to do is play it out and hope the QBs can carry the load so that the Titans will win but they know the odds of that happening against good teams are very slim.

For instance the bucs held the offense to one TD scoring drive and it was only on account of two questionable pass interference penalties that the Titans even made it down the field. Oh boy, another subpar game. All this points to Vrabel and Smith but they're rookies.

The fault that the offense is dormant and not jelling does not lie with Mariota and the brass knows it. Oh they sure do.

I would imagine that if Tannehill, by his play, proved that the coaching staff was not to blame for Mariota's offensive inefficiency then they would have been interested in trading him. Yeah but stop for a moment. Mariota has his own advisors too about the many bungle headed mistakes that this organization has already made.

This little benching may very well be the straw that breaks the camel's back. If not, it should be. I think it's about time Mariota throws his arms up in disgust, don't you?

I think this franchise has steptoed off a cliff and trashed everything they were previously trying to do. How do you pick up the pieces of a once promising offense to one that is completely shattered? You don't!

Mariota can feel free to throw his arms up in disgust. He'll probably miss that throw too.
 
My last post. Sorry that I believe so strongly in my opinions. Didn't mean to offend anyone.

I'll jump first, Mariota. You follow me......

With Mariota I have ALWAYS thought he needs a certain type of offensive scheme similar to that of the Chiefs to be successful. It was my understanding that this was what the Titans had up their sleeve when they hired Vrabel, I was mistaken. It's frustrating for Mariota to be compared to strong arm QBs because quite frankly that's not his forte. He's a Mahomes style playmaker.

It's clear to me that this is not the direction the Titans wanted to go. They want a certain type of approach and a strong arm but that's not Mariota. He's not necessarily a straight pocket passer. He is similar to Russell Wilson in his scrambling ability. He needs to be versatile and free to roam. That's when he's at his best.

I commend Mariota for doing as well as he has and lasting as long as he did. Those are the qualities of a true champion.

After having said all this I think the Titans need to trade him. I think it's best for both parties involved.

Mahomes has a cannon. Mariota isn't even close to mahomes in any way. He's even less like Wilson. He doesn't escape the pocket like Wilson. I'm sorry you lost your mom, but Mariota isn't an NFL quarterback.

Not too many Ducks have won a Heisman Trophy nor been drafted as high as Mariota. He is the icon for the entire Pacific Northwest when it comes to football. He may not be as effective as Darron Thomas who is sitting in free agency right now but Mariota has set the bar.

Oregon ducks haven't exactly set the league on fire if Mariota has "set the bar" in the NFL.
 
Heisman Winner doesn't always translate to NFL quality.

That's an award for the best player in the NCAA... which doesn't prepare kids for the Pros.

*Heisman QBs - in the last decade they have fizzled but usually most have 1 good season.
 
Thank goodness all of these Mariota fans as opposed to Titans fans will soon be packing up and going to a different forum.

Just like all of the VY fans back in the day, I wonder where all of those morons are now that it’s long proven that VY just plain sucked and it wasn’t everyone else’s fault that he failed..lol?

Most those VY fans never admitted it. They're still blaming the Titans for "ruining" him. Much like Mariota fans will do.
 
Critiquing Mariota

He's quoted as saying, "I have to do a better job". "I want to be the best player I can be for this team".

Ok, well this is how you can pull out the best in yourself.

"Undefendable Offensive Play".
Against Any Defense

The offense has 1 TE, 1 HB, 3 WRs.

The defense has LOLB, MLB, ROLB, FS, SS, 2 DBs, 2 DEs, 2 DTs.

Formation: QB in the shotgun, one WR to the left, HB left of QB, RE, two WRs to the far right. Ball is on the left hash.

Blocking:. The RG & RT double up on LE. Center blocks MLB and LT blocks ROLB. LG pulls to the right to block DLT.

QB gets the snap and sprints back diagonally to the right. The HB runs straight up field. The WR to the left runs a bomb pattern down the middle of the field The RE runs straight up the field. The WRs to the right run straight up field and one pulls back.

This is a designed run/pass option. Here's how it plays out. As the QB is sprinting diagonally to the right, the very first read is the LOLB. Is he staying at home or is he covering the RE? If he stays at home then the QB shuttle passes to the RE, however if the LOLB covers the RE then the QB looks to see if the HB is open to the left, if so he passes to him for a potential big gain. If not, then the QB quickly determines if the WR running the bomb route is double covered. If so, he decides if the DBs to the right are coming at him or not. If one or both converge on the QB then he passes to an open receiver. If they guard the receivers the QB runs and the receivers block their man.

There you have it, a successful play that you can run left or right over and over again. It's undefendable. Lol

There's no defense out there that you cannot grind up.


The bomb to the WR on the left is just a decoy to pull the safety. That leaves single coverage on the two WRs to the right. However if the safety doesn't take the bait and the WR has a step it means TD. If the LOLB stays at home and the center takes out the MLB then the TE has free sailing down the field. Away from the play on the left side, the HB draws the ROLB which the LT is aiming to take out leaving the HB practically alone on an empty side of the field. With the LOLB covering the TE, the QB will have an opening to run right there especially if the DB & SS fall back in coverage. If not, one of them will be burned. It's a cake walk. If the LOLB abandons the TE, well TE is still running down the field, it's a big pass play.

It doesn't matter what kind of defense is out there, they still need to cover the receivers. This offensive formation spreads the defense all over the field. They cannot effectively stop it.

All a defense can do to stop this is replace a DT with an extra LB or DB to strengthen that LOLB area so they can get to the QB. Then you would change the play. This is what you would do:

The RG blocks the LE, RT blocks the LOLB. If the extra LB or DB does not pick up the RE then he's burned. It's a fast shuttle or quick pass. The MLB is the only one in the vicinity to get him and he's being taken out of the play by the center. It's a win win situation.

All the Titans need are good blockers. Just run this play over and over again from hash to hash. Lol. They can't stop it no matter how hard they try.

Defense calls for a blitz, Mariota can't read the defense or see the blitz. Mariota runs right into the blitz. Down over.
