All I can do is watch for highlights on red zone and the internet after the game, but Marcus has looked very good the last two games. I think he's settling in and getting comfortable with his role as a franchise QB.... Titans 3-3 and in second place in the south. I'm enjoying being a Titan fan and cheering for a .500 team.

Marcus needs a top receiver and they will be solid.

I agree they need another top notch receiver although he has some very good target now. Their GM made some great moves in the off season that really helped, starting with trading their #1 draft pick. Conklin, the center from Houston, Murray, another Hiesman winner in Henry and a big surprise at a good receiver in Sharpe. I think their on the move upward.

Sadly I don't think DC would be a good fit, he's too similar to Sharpe and Matthews and they need a WR who can take the top off. Getting Wright back was a big help for the offense and Robiskie seems to be grasping what he has in Marcus and Co. better each week.

Fortunately the Draft should be rich in a few positions that the Titans need. Safety, Edge, CB, WR.

Carrington isn't going to be a top WR. He can have an nice career, but people are overrating him if they think he'll be a true #1 WR.

How good does that Conklin pick look right now? He (RT) and Lewan (LT) have combined to allow 0 QB sacks and 0 QB hits so far through 6 games....they've played some pretty dang good pass rushers too so far like Khalil Mack, Anthony Barr, Jadaveon Clowney, Suh, Cam Wake etc. Lewan is the top rated LT in the league and Conklin is top 5. This offensive line has been night and day better than last year and is a huge reason why the Titans are having more success and why Mariota looks much more comfortable because he doesn't have to worry about getting creamed every play like he did last season. I don't think they're a great team, but I do think they have some good pieces on both sides and with another offseason of drafting and FA I think they are certainly heading up. About the only gripe I have with mariota is that he makes one or two stupid throws per game. Throws, usually on the run, that he used to get by with in college but can't in the NFL. But you take the good with the bad and he seems to be developing into the franchise QB that we thought he would be. His teammates love him, the city loves him. He's a great fit in Nashville as odd as it might seem.

Do we have anyone as good as explosive as Huff was at WR right now? I don't think so, that's what we seem to be missing right now. I wonder if Red finds himself returning kicks and playing some O next year.

Marcus has gone from near the bottom to 13th so far in QB efficiency. The competition has not been very good lately, so I expect things to tighten up for him going forward, but he does seem to be figuring out some things. Titans have some extra picks in the early rounds of the next draft as well (the Rams' 1st and 3rd round picks), so things are looking up for them.
