Marcus Mariota goes through the Mariucci white board test

Former NFL head coach Steve Mariucci puts 2015 NFL Draft prospect Marcus Mariota through his paces diagramming plays on a white board.

It's incredible how he knows so much about his other offensive players abilities and caters to their strengths and weaknesses.  He is wise beyond his years and has a deep understanding of what certain people can and can't do on any given play.  I hope he stays healthy.  The Titans' O line has to protect a genius like that with their every fiber.

Anybody else think it's dumb we can skip 15 seconds ads but not 30?

Here is a smart idea which would help you avoid you losing a game e.g. a Superbowl. One the 1 YARD LINE: RUN THE BALL, or even QB sneak it!

He is an intelligent QB, can't wait to see him in the NFL

[pdboomin]

He's so timid compared to Winston

YES!  She pronounced his last name correctly!  Sorry, but that's rare here in Tennessee.

If Hawaii ever got an NFL team, it'd be cool to see Mariota play there.

I am a now a Titans fan because of Mariota

[BNew-xvce]

He's a better athlete then Jamison...but being ready to jump right in and run a NFL style offence...He's still in elementary compared to Jamison... Go watch Jamison's demonstration with Coach Mariucci and you'll see exactly what I'm talking about... He can be an awesome player if the right team gets him and has patience... Just hope that the same thing doesn't happen to him as it's happening to RGlll

WTF? Mariota gets to draw his play while Mariucci tried to confuse the hell out of Winston lol Fan of both young QB's though. Mariota doesn't seem like a Bright Lights Big City type of Guy. Would rather see him in maybe San Diego where the media is not all crazy like New York

I think mariota shouldn't be first drafted in the first round probably at 2nd or 3rd is because back at Oregon he had to go through a system that was basically laid out for him and most of the time ducks would go shot gun after shot gun hurry up offense and shot gun again when your in the NFL your most likely under center so most of the time he needs to work on that mostly but every thing else seems pretty good but don't get me wrong he's still a first round guy

If you pressed any of the variables on a diagram on the whiteboard, they intellectually stipulate these are fluid actions within the play cult..they have as many dimesions as a diamond gem ..you look at them as a child or no skills and looks like the same...someone trained (these players and coaches and some very gifted commentary), see it with a far different view and are looking for dimensional "cuts", clarity, color and carrots (weight) to the value...that is what these athletes see and they run the techniques and know all the chords like a guitar string and they just need the literary work....

Wait a not run chicken lil flea flicker on 2!?
