earlers Posted May 4, 2015 Report Share Posted May 4, 2015 Apparently, the Bucs gave both Winston and Mariota a test to figure out their football acumen and recall. Test consisted of fifteen plays, runs and passes, with a slew of formations, progressions in the quarterback’s read, snap counts, coverages, hot receivers if the defense blitzed, offensive-line protections. Winston did so well on it that the OC basically set Winston at which others should be measured against. I wonder how Mariota fared. I know that he's not from a pro style offense so that may have put him at a disadvantage. However, he supposed to have this high football IQ and photographic memory. I'm sure that the Bucs won't release the info but I'm curious. For the record, I wanted Titans to draft MM. Just thought I'd share. http://mmqb.si.com/2015/05/04/jameis-winston-tampa-bay-buccaneers-nfl-draft/ Now came the test. They’d give this test to both Winston (first) and then Mariota (a week later). Winston reported to the facility one day in early March, and offensive coordinator Dirk Koetter and quarterback coach Mike Bajakian taught him what he’d learn on the first day of rookie minicamp. “Day 1 Install,” it was called. Fifteen plays, runs and passes, with a slew of formations, progressions in the quarterback’s read, snap counts, coverages, hot receivers if the defense blitzed, offensive-line protections. Bajakian took 90 minutes to explain the “install,” flying through it on purpose, to throw a lot at Winston to see what he’d remember—more conceptually than in memorization. Then, as part of the information-overload, the coaches took him to lunch in the Bucs cafeteria, introducing him to a slew of people, talking to him about his family, doing whatever to get his mind off the football and on to something else. They wanted to test his recall, and his football acumen. Back in the quarterback meeting room after lunch, Bajakian put tape of the plays they’d be installing on the big screen. What’s your formation here, Jameis? The protection? Your route progression? Who’s your hot receiver? Play after play, for 45 minutes they went through it. Winston remembered it all. Koetter has been coaching college and pro football since 1985. He is not a gee-whiz coach. Licht was blown away by Koetter’s impression after that couple of hours with Winston. “I’m going to compare every guy I test like that the rest of my career to Jameis,” Koetter told Licht.

Super Mario Posted May 4, 2015 Report Share Posted May 4, 2015 Tampa made the pick due to wanting to fill the stadium. I'm shocked the coaches would put their careers on the line. Go Titans ! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clappin Cheeks Posted May 4, 2015 Report Share Posted May 4, 2015 Winston is a dipshit, the guy will never be anything because you can tell he is immature as hell, and mildly a tard on top of it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 4, 2015 Report Share Posted May 4, 2015 I thought Mariota had unparalleled spacial ability to go along with his photographic memory? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's immature but by all accounts is fairly intelligent and has a high football IQ. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
abenjami Posted May 4, 2015 Report Share Posted May 4, 2015 This is hard to believe considering we know the guy can't remember to pay for his groceries before he leaves the store. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clappin Cheeks Posted May 4, 2015 Report Share Posted May 4, 2015 He's immature but by all accounts is fairly intelligent and has a high football IQ. He panics when the play breaks down, its hilarious. Im not being a homer here but mariota can slow the game down in his play. Winston cannot he panics, horribly and tries to force throws... i.e. his high int. rate this season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
T-RAC Posted May 4, 2015 Report Share Posted May 4, 2015 I have a theory: Jameis was a genetic experiment. The scientists replaced the language center of a man's brain with more room for football IQ. Probably replaced the part of the brain that tells right from wrong too, Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll take his ability to throw with anticipation in college over the trumped up issue with interceptions he had this year any day. There is a ton of statistical data out there that shows Interceptions in college and as a rookie don't mean much when determining if a guy will be a good NFL QB or not.

abenjami Posted May 4, 2015 Report Share Posted May 4, 2015 This is actually not too surprising to read considering the offense Winston ran in college. I'm sure what they threw at him was a lot more familiar and it was probably like a foreign language to Mariota. It would be nice to know how good or bad Mariota fared on this test. LOL at the worst team in football laughing at someone else's draft pick. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

IrishTitansFan Posted May 4, 2015 Report Share Posted May 4, 2015 Winston has an extremely high football IQ, watch some of the videos with mooch. He gets excited when he goes on the whiteboard and it reminds me of Andrew Luck Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
