    Titans OL look really good giving MM plenty of time on the ball. The WRs need to shake off their coverage quicker as MM at times seemed to struggle to find targets. The RBs also looked really good and the depth in that position looks really strong this season. All in all much stronger team than last season, hopefully see some good results this season and win more than we have in the past 2 seasons.

    ..Not really concerned based on how well the running game has been so far

    Can't wait for the Denver game and see how the OL matches up against the Denver defence, watching the Rams game they look strong and that will be a real test.

    he's bombing some of these passes at the combine. people are confusing what arm strength is. if he didn't have the arm strength he could NEVER make this throw. he has the arm strength to throw a 50 yard deep pass whether you think he can or not. strength isn't the problem it's his comfort level with the pass and how much touch he's putting on his passes.

    these aren't the same pass...

    that's a pretty big freaking weakness. It's a weakness that isn't gonna get better either. You either have it or you don't

    Look at that trick play with Murray last night Sharpe had 3 STEPS on the CB and Mariota under throw him.Same with the first throw of the preseason and some others.

    We have yet to see a catch 25 yards or more down the sideline.

    I was actually at the game. Had an absolute blast with the intimidating, yet cool Raiders fans. Was a really great experience.

    No lie, I was entering the stadium and saw a guy in his late 40s/early 50s with a #10 Titans jersey and I asked him without looking at the back of his jersey, if that was a Locker or Young jersey and his reply was "Nah, this is my son Tre McBride's number". I was blown away in that it was McBride's Dad. Talked to him for about 10 mins. He was also blown away that I knew everything about his son.

    What an experience being in Oakland watching that game. LOVED it.

    Also, was surprised at how many Titans fans I saw out there.

    RB duo looks legit, OL has come together.. may have our rebirth of Roos/Stewart in Lewan/Conklin. Just hoping the interior OL can hold it together for 16 games.

    Mariota missed on some throws, but what QB doesn't? Ultimately he controlled the game just fine. I don't expect him to go out and throw for 300+ yrds & 3 TDs every game, it's just not the scheme were in.

    Secondary will need some work. Hopefully once LeBeau starts calling a bit more advanced blitzes and such we'll get more pressure on the QB. That's truly the only hope for our secondary.

    Still amazed at the lack of evaluation for the #3 RB spot.
