    This offensive change should also be a big benefit to Kendal Wright. Additionally it will help DGB. If the Titans are going to use such high picks on these guys then it only makes sense to cater the offense around them.

    Is the Inside Zone Read a 'designed qb run' in your book? I think it likely Mariota will have between 500-1000yds rushing this season IF he can stay healthy, plays all 16 games, and have a semblance of a decent OL.

    I will be interested to see how well Whiz understands the zone read plays and the plays built off it's success when he playcalls games. I don't think the Zone Read will be effective if they just try to run it twice a game. It takes too much practice time to prevent a lot of fumbles (why Oregon practices it every day) just to run it a couple of times. Better off increasing the execution on the most important aspects of your offense if the Zone Read isn't it. So either use it or lose it.

    I would SMH more than I have ever SMH if Mariota has 1,000 yards on the ground this year.

    What if he's got 1000 yards on the ground and 10 wins tho? And vying for a playoff appearance?

    then it was a nice season that means 0 for future success. he needs to win with his arm. hes a qb not a rb.

    RoY lock.

    A little IZR, OZR, power run game and some play-action, and LBers get a lot easier to read.
    With a QB that can pull the trigger quick, underneath routes become game winners.

    Obviously he's got to win with his arm. This is just someone saying they wouldn't take those yards is silly. Obviously we need a long term answer and a healthy qb (something Metts not) and Mariota creating some yards with his legs (as long as safe) is a good thing.

    That's not what I meant...but I agree with you...I'd be happy with steady improvement each year and then many years of contending and a few SB wins lol
