Marcus Mariota & Company Make Short Work of Vikings Defense on Opening Drive by Bob Whiskers

 
NASHVILLE, Tenn. - Sept. 4, 2015 - PRLog -- Marcus Mariota had a brief but solid night. Titans staff gave  Mariota the start for the final preseason game at Nissan Stadium. His presence was brief, but Mariota gave us a glimpse why he is the future of the Titans franchise. After thowing his first touchdown strike during the preseason, Mariota quickly exited the game.

Mariota started the drive by launching a heat seeker directly to Delanie Walker down the middle.  The pass was quick as a lighting strike, right on target, with blistering velocity. On the next play, Mariota threw to Dorial Green-Beckham, breaking free from a defender, the ball landed incomplete, just beside him. The ball traveled with supersonic speed, unfortunately missing the intended target.

The next play was your average pass, but you see why he was chosen second in the 2015 draft. He has the eyes of an experienced MVP as he surveys the field. He already shows to have the composure of a Montana or Elway. The pass had the perfect touch as Mariota hits Harry Douglas on a crossing route with ease. Douglas slipped away quickly, taking it to the house, 59 yards for the score.

While Mariota's game play was brief, the touchdown shows why the Heisman winner was a great choice for the starting QB slot. mentally. Mariota has been confident from the start and it showed last night with his final preseason appearance. I look forward to see what some are calling “The Hawaiian Express” will do in Tampa, during his first regular season start. With a Defense that seems to be getting better every week under Defensive Coordinator Dick LeBeau, this season looks to have promise to be better than first expected.
