    Agreed. Coaches can't just go "run faster" and the player learn to run faster. They are what they are. We need bona fide talent up in here.

    Understandably, Mariota is still in his first 16 starts so he's not quite there yet. I agree he looks MORE uncomfortable in the pocket right now but I think a lot of that has to do with Wr's not getting separation, wr's running the wrong depths and sometimes the wrong routes. As much as I THINK our players around Mariota shouldn't be making stupid mistakes, they are happening and it certainly is affecting him. We can give him the benefit of the doubt for now but if we do have DW and KW on the field Sunday, we will see if anything changes. If it doesn't, then I will start agreeing we have a bigger problem and then we'll have to figure out WHY he's regressed. But I'm not there yet.

    I also think the high frequency of putting him in 3rd and forever were not helping. Now that they have figure out the run game (we think), hopefully that starts in the first quarter and he can be what we hoped for this year...more of a complimentary QB who can pick and choose when we want to throw, be efficient and protect the ball and own TOP.

    Agreed. And, as many have mentioned, there doesn't seem to be a lot of creativity with the routes.

    I'm a big fan of pick/rub routes. I know it takes experience to get the timing down to keep it legal but, when executed well, it's a thing of beauty.
