    He doesn't need to be game-planning. He does need to get Mariota more playing time in front of a loud crowd.

    I would consider game planning much more important than playing in a loud stadium. I would like to have Mariota go through the whole game planning/practice process at the NFL level to get a feel for how it goes and how it translates to the field.

    I am sure that Mariota played in some loud stadiums in college

    Mariota doesn't plan anything and Whiz better not be putting much into a game plan during the preseason. Right now, the more experience you get a rookie, the better.

    Mariota has to execute the game plan though. He has to watch the tape of the opposing D and translate what he learns from tape to the field.

    The Chiefs are not going to throw a bunch of exotic defenses at him. No one tips their hands in the preseason. Mariota needs to read what he sees at the LOS and adjust accordingly. He doesn't have to sit in the film room three days to read basic defenses.

    We don't need to be handling Mariota with kid gloves. He has shown that his learning curve is small and we can push him a bit harder.

    I wonder if Ryan Succop will get a Fisher-like standing ovation...

    We should go for two just because we haven't yet. And because Succup already ****ing missed a PAT.

    First kicker to miss one this year. Loser.

    Pretty sure our coaching staff realized this before any of us.
