    Have a chance to finally watch the game. I would say the interception and fumble were freak plays. I think he obviously redeemed himself in the third drive. He showed the poise, calmness and leadership I fully thought you would see out of him. His teammates and the chemistry is there. Seems like he is embracing everyone and they are embracing. Even with the brutal start you saw the offensive line man go to rescue and have his back. Great to see.

    Now the defense so far. I'm in the second quarter. After the first Atlanta possession, I thought they looked pretty solid. The offense and the freak plays put them in a tough position after the first possession. But they held them to a fg AFTER the fumble. They came right back on the next possession and intercepted it.

    Watching Mett. Some one said that Mariota's hang time was a bit much. Ironnically, that's what I just saw on Mett's first pass. Nice TD pass. I think the dude has got game. To me for him it's intangibles. Does he have enough of them. Will continue to watch and give you my impressions.

    lol no

    this team should just remove any screen play from the playbook, it's apparent the entire franchise don't know how it's supposed to work because it doesn't matter the coaching staff, a screen is always a negative play

    "oh the blockers are not supposed to go straight up the middle when the RB is going left? since when?"

    ****ing amateurs

    Or they just start running to the sideline and forget what they were supposed to be doing.

    Mariota is going to be ****ing fantastic. I am 100% convinced he's going to be great for us. We've won 90% of the battle.

    They have to fix this offensive line to maximize Mariota's greatness. This next draft class has to be riddled with offensive linemen. I don't care if they go o-line rounds 1-7. No safeties, no running backs, no wide outs. None of that ****. Get some real talent other than Lewan on the OL - the suck is manic on this b****.

    First, the guys making mistakes need to take a seat and be held accountable. Do this and everyone will play better because their job and careers are on the line.

    Second, run the ball well. We will see more Cobb and Fowler for 2 big reasons. Control the clock/sustain drives and to stay out of 3rd and longs.

    Third, have a mobile QB who can roll out, scramble, and force teams to spy him...which means his presence alone should improve our running ability (DE's can't crash down on inside looking runs) and less coverage/man coverage.

    Fourth, HOPE Whiz figures out how to get our mismatch players into mismatch situations that favor us and GET THEM THE BALL!!!

    First, the DT who ran over Schwenke right up the middle didn't sack him, he avoided that guy. It was the follow up guy who got past Levitre I think who sacked him so he did show some elusiveness.

    Well, I saw 2 things wrong with the play. First, there was NO ONE there to block the first defender (OLB in a zone). If you block ONE guy on the play it has to be the first defender. That job falls to Levitre who stayed with his DL about 2 seconds too long. Schwenke and Warmack relase about the same time and that is when Levitre should have released so he was too late to block the OLB who intercepted the ball.

    Second mistake is hard to assign blame because I'm not sure if Mariota ha a read progression or it's throw the screen or run. Considering he had a receiver release inside that OLB and the backer didn't follow, if it was a read situation, he should have hit the crossing receiver which would make it a poor read by Mariota. If it's screen or run (which is what it sounds like...and they did have the blockers for a big gain IF Levitre released on time), then it was a miscommunication between Mariota and Sankey caused by Levitre not blocking his man.

    It happens but with almost everything bad that happens on offense, there seems to be an OL component and that's not good!!! Same can be said for most of our running problems with the 1's.
