As someone who has followed Marcus Mariota since his college days at Oregon, I was intrigued by what the owner of the Tennessee Titans had so say as of late about her star quarterback:
"Marcus, I want him to be successful," said Amy Strunk. "I want him to be our franchise quarterback. It was a tough year from an injury standpoint last year, and I know that Marcus is raring to go and prove he can be that guy." This is an interesting quote, as I personally believe that Mariota has already proven he's 'that guy' for the Titans. That being said, he has been quite injury prone in his short pro career up to this point, and the team's offence as a whole hasn't been the greatest.
Can Mariota have a bounce back season this year and put up some solid numbers? Here's hoping he does, as he's an exciting player that can make plays out of nothing. If the Titan's O-line can keep him upright, the sky is the limit.
Burris, whatcha talking about? I've never been one to really disagree with Henry Burris, as the man is a legend in the CFL, and always has some of the most interesting insight on the game and all that it entails. This time however, I stand on the opposite side of something he has said. Burris believes that the NFL changing their video replay rules to include all facets of pass interference will slow down and ruin the game.
Yes, there has been an occasional game in the CFL (where this review system has already been used successfully) where said review has taken a chunk of time for no reason, but on a whole, it works. Factor in the disaster in New Orleans this past NFL season (yeah, I know.....beating a dead horse now), and there is an instant reason to institute this, and prevent teams from getting ripped off because of incompetent officials on the field.
Sorry Henry, but the NFL needs this. Either that, or we keep seeing the Patriots win Super Bowls. *shudders*
