OILERMAN Posted September 15, 2018 Report Share Posted September 15, 2018 Yea teams like GB run RPOs but a lot of fans don't seem to understand what that means. An RPO means the QB has the option to hand off to the RB or throw a pass. The difference in what Rodgers does with GB and the Titans is the Titans were actually using Mariota as a ball carrier. They were clearly trying to use deception so the defense wouldn't know whether the RB had the ball or the QB. The reason the Titans were using their QB as a running threat is because he's not a good passer, period. It's absolutely ridiculous to subject your franchise QB to defensive hits. On the play Mariota was injured he was pretending to have the ball, they were inviting hits. Vrabel said early on they would use Mariota as a runner, he talked about using college concepts but he said they wouldn't put Mariota in harm's way. It took one half to injure him Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Titans279 Posted September 15, 2018 Report Share Posted September 15, 2018 Fans that don't even know what an RPO is are definitely qualified to judge if Mariota should be given more chances to play or not. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
