    I'm more worried about the lack of speed on defense. Our LBs are all slow AF. I think an area where we will have mismatches will be TE. Amaro and Walker will be lethal weapons for Marcus. Also KW, Sharpe and Douglas have some wheels on them so don't discount that. Our running game is gonna do wonders for the entire offense.

    And that lack of speed by our LBs also hurts Mariota's development, in that some throws he can safely make against our LBs are gonna get picked against the more athletic LBs on other teams. We saw one today...

    I'm most worried about the lack of mental speed of our coaches.

    MM can't throw so speed isn't an issue. He doesn't need anyone else to lose a game like he did today, he does it all by himself.

    Very true. Our receivers are the slowest in the NFL but that doesn't matter since Marcus can't complete a pass past 15 yards any way

    If a receiver can get more than 15 yards downfield and Mariota is still on his feet, he can find the receiver and hit him. Just ask Delanie Walker...
    And he can read a D and thread the needle to hit a receiver who is double-covered too... Just ask Andre Johnson...
