Source: #Titans QB Marcus Mariota will play Monday night vs.#Colts.

[PrincetonTiger]

It worked well for Bradford Monday

[NannyMcafee]

I could see the Colts being competitive vs TN if we stop the run.

[will426]

They're gonna ruin that young mans career..he's heading for Rg3 kind of career if he suffers another leg injury

[PrincetonTiger]

Do they have that little of faith in Cassel/Weeden

Lol if I were them I'd trust weeden he's beaten us on two seperate teams in one year

[Luck is Good]

Depends how healthy he is. Agree he is a real talent although don't think he has been as good as people were hoping coming into the season.

 

Will need to play well to win.

This. But it also depends how well he actually feels. If the hamstring is still bothering him then we probably won’t see a lot of the running. But he’s a dangerous passer too, obviously. It’s gonna be a good game. 

[IinD]

I don't mind honestly. Gotta beat at least some decent qb's at some point.

 

Always hated beating teams playing their backup. They always have the excuse that they didn't have the #1 guy out there.

He's better than the backup. That in itself makes it tougher tomorrow night

[BR-549]

I am sure he is a bit nervous thinking about how to avoid our ferocious pass rush

 

[richard pallo]

That's okay.  Bring him on.  The bigger they are the harder they fall. 

[krunk]

Its a winnable game no matter who plays. Obviously its easier with Cassel than Mariota though.

[WoolMagnet]

We gotta get hits and pressures.  Sacks would be nice but pushing him around and pressuring him should help put some strain on that hammy.

maybe we should let him break one in the 1st series to try to tweak that hammy.

I would agree but we don't have our QB either sooooooooooooooooooooooo  

[will426]

I would blitz him early and often 5/6 man blitz

Good point..lol.

 

I just honestly want to gauge how good or bad our D really is.

Can't say I blame them. They haven't beat the Colts with Luck so maybe they think this is the one time they can.

I think the Colts have won 11 in a row and I am sure they are getting tired of being owned.

If you don't think their record against the Colts don't enter their mind you are crazy. Especially when being reminded of it by the media.

Mariota couldn't even do a full sprint friday one division isn't going to hurt the season

[coltsfeva]

  I’m assuming the D will do a decent job of stopping the run. Mariota being hampered helps, especially if it takes away his scrambling ability.

   We need a big game from everybody but from the Oline and secondary have to play well for any hope of a win.

Same thing will probably happen to Luck's shoulder when he returns.

luck has missed six games, what makes you think they are rushing him back too soon?

 

he will play when he is ready

[ColtsBlitz]

We are the most average competitive division in football.  With a W we take first place at 3-3 with the rest of the division at 3-3 and .5 games behind. 

 

[CanuckColtsFan]

I look at how other teams seem to rush their qbs back; Mariotta, Carr, Newton, RG3. It makes me wonder why other teams have such a gambling mentality with their most important player.

[PrincetonTiger]

Not sure how mobile he will be

You may be right and a lot of his game is scrambling but he is a good pocket passer too, just his presence being out there will be a good thing for the Titans.  Cassell isn't much better than Tolzien imo.  So it can't really be much worse.

The Vikings tried to do the same thing with SB

[2006Coltsbestever]

They know this is a must win for them because they are at home, if we win this game they are actually in trouble IMO

True but his was a knee not hamstring.  Carr played after a week of being injured and lasted the whole game all thought it was his back.  It depends on numerous factors.  A hamstring is nothing to take lightly though, those type of injuries do linger.  Look at Chester Rogers.

Speaking of Carr, what is wrong with the Raiders? They are 2-4. I thought this guy was supposed to be better than Luck . He has a ways to go before that happens.

I honestly don't know.  I wouldn't say better than Luck bet definitely a franchise QB tho.  They bring in beast mode and there much worse than last year.  Problem is there line isn't allowing Lynch to run well and there defense hasn't been good either really.  There were a few games were the receivers didn't show up either.  They have numerous problems but I will say this.  I expect the Chiefs to win that division but I think the Raiders will be 2nd in front of SD and Den.  Just a bold prediction.
