Mariota just isn’t the guy.

Man, on that int play, even the fawking game announcers were saying WTF you want to call a pass play but only have 2 guys running routes?

 

I completely agree the play calling is trash, but come on, it's deep into his third year now.

 

I agree he's not the most durable, but if you KNOW your QB is fragile why do you keep running him? All of his injuries have been lower body so wouldn't the best idea be to put him in a Brady like scheme where the ball is out his hands in less than 4 seconds. The longer he's in the pocket the more likely he gets crushed.

 

Find this quote funny cause, they run the ball almost every 1st and 2nd down and putting the offense in obvious passing downs.

And even then, you have 7 people covering 2-3 routes.

 

I agree...but there were actually 3....not that it would have mattered.

 

Everyone sees it, but Mularkey and Robiskie. I keep telling myself that JR sees it because you can tell he is football smart. He knows why things work and why they don’t. Even Rich Eisen said something about it today ...

 

Yes, the replays shows 3 guys. However, the 3rd guy was running an underneath route where the linebackers were at so essentially there were only 2 targets to try to pass to. Regardless, it just highlights how obviously chitty this scheme is. Built for the run game yet the run game is terrible. Draft WRs and sign WRs to come block and nothing more.

 

We are not ready for the playoffs, is that more clear?

 

Him and Mariota

 

This isn’t worth arguing about. Both the offense and Mariota suck.
