Marcus Mariota sharp in Tennessee Titans' opening practice of camp - Tennessee Titans Blog - ESPN


Between seven-on-seven work without lines and 11-on-11 team work, he was 13-of-18 and didn’t throw an interception.

"You could tell he was training this offseason, really in the playbook," tight end Delanie Walker said. "He called the huddle with poise, said the plays like he knew them, ran the offense very well. That’s exciting to see when you’ve got a young quarterback coming in and ready to go."

Twice Mariota was able to use a hard count to get the defense to jump offside.

Before any defenders were involved when quarterbacks were simply throwing to receivers, Mariota launched a beautiful spiral 40-yards to Justin Hunter in stride

Kendall Wright is clearly the top receiver and Hakeem Nicks got the bulk of the work opposite Wright. But the second snap of many series featured two new guys, including Harry Douglas, Hunter and Green-Beckham.

Really hope Nicks starting is just a punishment for Hunter and/or DGB, because everything I've seen from him lately has indicated that he's pretty much 100% done.

What did DGB do?

Nothing; punishment wasn't really the right word for him, but what I meant was that hopefully they're running Nicks with the 1s for now because DGB is a rookie, they want to make him earn it, he's had character issues, etc. Hopefully Nicks is a placeholder, because I very much doubt he's the answer.

I have to agree on Nicks. The guy hasn't really done anything of note for the past 3 seasons. Haven't followed his injury history, but when I watched him play he seemed a step slow to me. Not much need in the league for slow WRs.

Anyone have any updates on how Cody Prewitt is doing in training camp? Really hope he makes the roster.

So far Mariota has yet to throw a int in 5 practices.
Training camp and preseason games these are the things that get overblown.
It's a good sign but not going to overreact. The regular season games then fans can get a idea about drafted players, and if a team has improved to be a good team.

No doubt zack will get the bulk of playing time in most preseason games.

I disagree. I think MM will get quite a bit of snaps in the preseason, as he's going to be the starter.

So far Marcus Mariota has been incredible for the Titans both on and off the field. One thing that has really struck me about him is that he really is Oregon's equivalent to Peyton Manning. The love and appreciation Ducks fans have for MM is palpable and it seems he'll have a similar effect PM had on a lot of Vols fans after PM was drafted. I'd expect that a fair number of Ducks fans will follow the Titans like PM fans followed the Colts and now the Broncos.

Both are superlative talents and great ambassadors for their alma maters. Let's hope MM's career is somewhat close to PM's, except with a few more championships.

I'm super stoked about Marcus and am finally excited about the future Titans football again.

It may just be that football season is almost here, but I feel the same. I'm looking forward to seeing how the Titans do with Mariota.

Anyone else ready to watch others over react on how a rookie QB performs in <10 attempts?


In fairness, I am much mess apathetic than I have been the last 3-4 years.

So... Mariota looked good against our D cause our D is garbage?


Matt Ryan 6 for 6 for 86 yards and a touchdown.





Mariota completes his 1st pass.

MM picked because Levitre decides he wants to play matador instead of block. Sankey then stops instead of continuing the route. What a terrible contract that was with Levitre. Obvious O-line breakdowns early.
