Titans TE Delanie Walker needs stitches after slicing finger in practice
“The whole lot I’ve completed in my lifetime and my profession as a soccer participant has constructed up for this second to benefit from it, so I’m excited”, Mariota stated. “He’s not going to force anything in there. I think you’re seeing a kid that’s much further along than definitely I would have expected him to be, coming from where he was, and much further along than where most people expected him to be”. That’s things you don’t see from young quarterbacks.
On one hand, you have an inexperienced quarterback who has been nothing short of wonderful in his time with the Titans.
At Oregon, Mariota set the Pac-12 record with 353 consecutive completions without an interception from 2012-13.
The Jake Locker project is mercifully over and the Titans are starting over with new quarterback Marcus Mariota.
Clive can be seen on youtube lamenting the loss of the superstar QB by crying in his cereal and wondering what his beloved Oregon squad is going to do without him. So I know its still early, but its obvious that he does a good job with the football, and playing that position thats a good piece.. He completed 68.3% of his passes last season and 68.5% of them during his first year in Eugene.
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) – Marcus Mariota has thrown 140 passes in training camp without being intercepted. Protecting the football is something he’s tried to do everywhere he’s played. Like dropping back and making multiple reads from the pocket. The former Oregon star has received high marks for his leadership, mental acuity and ability to pick up the playbook quickly.
Seeing him go down this late in the offseason with the 2015 season just around the corner will surely give a scare to the team and the fans. “It’s not just me, it’s been this entire offensive unit”.
Marcus Mariota hasn’t thrown an interception yet during Tennessee Titans camp.
The Titans added 9 draft picks this spring and signed 27 free brokers led by linebacker Brian Orakpo, cornerback Perrish Cox, security Da’Norris Searcy and tight finish Anthony Fasano.
Reporting onsite from Nashville, NFL Media Insider Ian Rapoport told Inside Training Camp Live Friday that Mariota has enjoyed “essentially a flawless performance” in camp.
Cornerback Blidi Wreh-Wilson said the defense has been reminded that no one has intercepted Mariota just yet. (An injury) is never a great thing, but he’s a guy who’s done a great job for us. An impressive feat, considering he’s a rookie QB facing a defense coached by Dick LeBeau – the inventor of the zone blitz scheme – who likes to hide and mix pressures.
