You just explained they need to keep a safety focused on him which takes a player away from a Henry handoff or at least off another receiving target.

It also keeps the LB still to figure out pass or run. Similar to play action and against a zone D, could leave a target open

Interesting. I suppose the zone would setup a bunch of options for lateraling, etc.. Possibly even a fake reverse to Tannehill. Then MM backward pass to Tannehill on the other side, who bombs to Brown.

I don't know. Hoping to see them do something creative though. Even if it's putting MM up in the same spot as before to make the Pats do the prep dance double-take, then put Henry and RT in Wildcat formation and run a variety of things off that. But to be clear, I'd rather see them remain consistent with the Henry Tannehill balance than to get too distracted with trickery. Just keep it to 1 or 2 plays max..

That’s the idea, 1-2 plays max.
I wouldn’t care if they don’t use it all either, but the Pats need to prepare for it regardless.
 
Anything extra the Patriots have to prepare for is less they are able to prepare for the "regular" stuff.

Always good to have the opposition second guessing.
 
Tanne at QB, Mariota on the left, Henry on the right, Direct snap to Mariota who flips it to Tanne (Henry out front blocking), bomb to AJ Brown. TD Titans!
 
I didn't expect people to lose their $hit over this ... But hey maybe bb and the pats will also.

There are a lot of great scenarios we can think of with this setup.

Mariota isn't as bad as the haters think, and he isn't as good as the lovers think. However, he is good enough that he has to be accounted for if he is on the field.

No Byard?

No. Cruikshank is the deep route.

The entire design reminds me of little giants when the fat assistant is trying to break down where everyone was positioned when Al Bundy says “they’re standing around”.

Hardly see this as the future of the NFL. It’s just a nice to have and a rarity that you can get players capable of playing QB and another position.

If this had any real future of regularity, it would have started back with kordell Stewart or Antwan randle el.[/QUOTE/]

That was a different age though, that's when teams still wanted to game plan around running the ball first more than they do know days.

But the point is that he could throw to THill for him to throw again. I don’t see Davis, brown, or if hump is back, that they throw all that well.

That’s all part of the set up of having 2 QBs.

Or Tannehill could just take the snap and throw it.

I see what you're saying. But I think there is a reason teams don't play two QB's at the same time. It's not like the defense is just gonna forget Tannehill is a QB, or start thinking he suddenly has Tyreek Hill speed when he lines up out wide.

The "trick play" aspect doesn't seem like much of a trick. Only one guy can throw down field... And they know who the two QB's are.

Idk. I guess I'll eat my words when they score a 40 yard TD out of this formation.

I guess it just wasn’t a good joke.

Good call though throwing out the insults after a weak “joke” even if it doesnt apply.

Never said it was worth a stand up special. But jokes tend to lose their luster after people get super butthurt over them. The fact that you thought I was accusing Mariota of literally crying his way into the game says more about you than me lol.

I sort of agree which is why I always hated wildcat but I think the argument is IF we are going to run this gimmick play (and only 1-2 times I imagine) THill can still play the role of QB on a throw back but with history as a WR, I would say can run a route. Davis and Brown would still be on the play so it’s not like THill is the only target but is a legit target. Mariota wouldn’t be.

Overall, the titans agree that THill should just take the snap and throw. That’s why 99% of the pass plays (mostly 100%) are standard snaps to THill.

Sarcasm doesn’t carry over through messages well.

I really don’t care about whatever insults you throw at mariota, I thought you were serious about him crying which doesn’t sound correct.

We linned Sankey up at Tackle once vs NE

That was a mistake.

And not that we lined him up a T. That he was ever drafted, ever lined up at any position, or specifically lining him at T.

I’d say that was the least mistake. Just trying to find any value out of him since RB wasn’t gonna work out.
 
folks last time I checked Marcus Mariota is still on this team the man has talents besides being able to throw the ball when he is on the field chances are he is the fastest out there ,, Marcus and Derrick had some real good plays last year. If the titans can add twists to make other teams have to think im for it what better way to keep you back up QB sharp . How about a super bowl team has 2 Qbs with 50 yard td passes and a running back with another. The idea isn't we care how we score just that we do ,,,, remember the saints trying it on us and there guy no where as near as fast as Marcus

As much as I hate super bowl 40, Pittsburgh got a 75 yard run by willie Parker, a pass from randle el to ward, and a BS TD that Ben never actually got in on.

That was an ugly game and the Steelers did the trick gadget plays/bare minimum/payed off the refs to win.

I can agree (not strongly) with everything except for the "chances are he is the fastest out there"...

yes Mariota is pretty quick, especially for a qb, but I doubt he is ever the fastest person on the field.
