    Blake, is that you?

    It has to be. Only Blake or his mom would defend him like this...

    Sorry man,you suck at football.

    If it's Mrs. Blake, I'm sorry, your son sucks at football.

    That doesn't necessarily mean not the weakest link. If everyone is so bad that whoever they're covering is open, then it's hard to argue who's worse. How many #1 WR was Blake covering? I'd say statistically if the #1 WR is open, the QB will throw to him more often than any other WR. So just because Blake is attacked less, doesn't mean he's better than anyone else.

    As far as worst last year, who's still on the roster?

    No one's saying he should have been out there much, but he had to be due to injuries and lack of depth. My point is he did all we could ask for in a 4th or 5th CB.

    He let a lot of completions happen in front of him, but he never got completely torched over the top, and was always at least around the receiver. No one said he was a shut down CB.

    If you guys hated what Blake did last year, can't wait to see how much you love Simms and Adoree.

    Blake gave up 1 TD.

    I'm not defending him, he's not good and no longer a Titan, but to single him out to being a reason we lost any game is laughable.

    Not everything. This ended up being a great play. No doubt about that. But Mariota's redzone "perfection" has definitely involved some luck too. Great job eluding pressure, and seeing the open man, but the pass was awful.. off-balance and off-target. If the LB was reading the quarterback's eyes as he's supposed to, that ball is easily intercepted. Very dangerous. This probably gets picked off more often than not. Matthews was also open, but if he can't reset his feet, the safe play is to run it in up the middle. Great adjustment and catch by Murray!

    I bet this play was scrutinized in the film room. Let's call it for what it is. We got lucky. Period. Same thing can be said about the game winner against Detroit, and a few others.

    Don't get me wrong, I'm glad it turned out the way it did. Like I said, the result was great. We just can't expect to always come out on the right side of these plays.

    All that being said, I'm pumped to have him as our guy, and I'm excited to see how he progresses.

    youd be on to something if Mariota was bad when hes off balance, but most his plays unfold that way

    its not luck at this point, thats how he plays
