    Mularkey got this job by promising he wouldn't get Mariota killed again.

    How do you do that? Build a power run game and max protect when you're passing it. It's working, MM isn't injured yet ... too bad you don't win many games this way.

    Probably would criticize them if they suck, then some losers who liked em in college would come over and be like "hey hold up check out his college highlights he's a stud!"

    He doesn't have any NFL highlights?

    This might be a horrible analogy that some people don't get, but I'm willing to try to get it across. UFC fighter Conor McGregor gets a lot of success by using a slow, patient style, (this is where the run game, and under center short throws come in) and it kind of lulls his opponents to sleep and they get in a slow, measured, defensive posture. Then he will randomly up his tempo with a combo, HUNH, and his opponent isn't ready for it because they're so used to the pace he was giving.

    I don't agree with hurry up offense the entire game because it just doesn't work at this level, but I don't want to only run it the last two minutes of the game either. I would like to see it added in sporadically to promote unpredictability and the defense won't be able to always get set. If we had a fast downfield threat to catch a deep ball would only make things so much better. But it also allows us to utilize the bruising combo of Murray and Henry.

    Best way to protect him is with slants and other quick developing routes. Not this high school brand of football

    I think having KW and DW back will help that.

    I'm just amazed that mularkey can fail so much and still somehow convince someone he's an NFL coach, especially a team that is one of the worst in the league.
