“The fact that [Marcus Mariota] seems unafraid to try to make the difficult throw at such an early stage in his pro career is more noteworthy than the interception-less streak,” writes David Climer of The Tennessean.
Hope abounds in Tennessee, in large part because of Mariota and Dorial Green-Beckham. Don Banks of Sports Illustrated writes that the hype might be right.
This Friday, linebacker Dezmond Johnson will play in his first NFL preseason game. Next Friday he plans to be at his high school alma mater’s football game in Nashville, writes Mike Organ of The Tennessean.
The Titans defense says no interceptions of Mariota doesn’t mean it isn’t playing well. “We are doing good; you watch the film and we are in a perfect position a lot of times,’’ linebacker Zach Brown told Jim Wyatt of the team’s web site. “Some of the throws we are like, “Man, did he really just place it there? I take my hat off to him -- he is a smart kid. He hasn’t thrown one to us. We are still trying to get him. We have to get him.”
Mariota’s been “essentially flawless” in camp, and Chris Wessling of NFL.com compiles a bunch of positive assessments.
Charlie Whitehurst is proud to be the oldest Titan, writes Wyatt.
