Mariota not allowed to audible out of short yardage plays

I think this is the case

 

Yes that's exactly the same situation...

 

The players certainly seem to believe in him much more than they do the coaching staff. Another interview popped up with Walker stating that Mariota would have to overcome coaching and play backyard football if they were going to win.

 

Go read the thread on the subject. That was not at all what Walker was talking about.

 

Both are good examples of why you ain’t a coach. Let the coaches coach and just be a fan

 

Follow the context of the conversation.

I never said to run a play I said when the defense knows your trying to draw them offsides they're not going to expect a play so it would probably be the best time to run one.
