New arrivals Derrick Henry and DeMarco Murray add power to the Titans’ evolving offensive attack with second-year quarterback Marcus Mariota
1. There is a lot to like about Marcus Mariota. For starters, he’s remarkably refined in the pocket given that he rarely had to play from there in Oregon’s fast-paced spread offense. Mariota understands nuanced movement here. And he’s disciplined in keeping his eyes downfield, both in and out of the pocket. He also has excellent downfield vision. Augmenting these traits is his quick and compact release. Able to get the ball out promptly, Mariota can be more patient at the top of his dropbacks.
