When it rains, it pours. Because Oliver Vernon decided to put a dirty hit on Marcus, it is likely that Mariota could miss 2-4 weeks with a MCL sprain. If he's out for 4 weeks, say goodbye to the OROY he should have won.
The deck is stacked against the Titans, and I can't see this team winning many games the rest of the season. I think 3-13 might be best bet.
Paul Kuharksy says to not expect a coaching change during the season. Hopefully we clean house at the end of it.
Zach Mettenberger will be the one to answer the call should Marcus not be able to go on Sunday. I like Mett, but he's not Marcus and he's not the one that is going to lead this franchise out of the cellar.
Paul also says that whoever is the QB will be doomed if they can't figure out protections. I couldn't agree more. Whether it is Whiz realizing he needs to help the tackles out with a TE, or chipping players with a back, things need to change.
