"We are the Fury"

For Marcus Mariota's sake, hopefully he fared better in his private workout with the Tennessee Titans than he did at his pro day.
"I thought it went OK,” Mariota told NFL Network after his workout Thursday. “There were some misthrows here and there."
Analyst Mike Mayock, who was part of Mariota’s TV interview after the workout, told him he was a little uptight early and trying to be too perfect but got better as he relaxed. Mariota agreed.
The Heisman Trophy winner worked from under center and huddled between plays, two things that were not part of what he did in the Oregon Ducks' offense.
I didn’t get to see it on TV, but it’s always a surprise when a quarterback’s pro day workout is reviewed as anything other than great,
Charlie Casserly of NFL Network said he wouldn’t grade the workout based on having watched it on TV.
“I like a lot of things I see about the guy,” he said. “He’s not a sure thing. So you're going to take him, there is a little bit of hold your breath here."
ESPN.com’s New York Jets reporter Rich Cimini watched it on TV and wrote that he agreed with some in attendance that it was “underwhelming.” This is what he wrote.
“Mariota's ball placement was off on some short and intermediate throws. He underthrew a couple of long balls. He overthrew a couple of long balls. He put too much air under a couple. He was much better on seam routes, post routes and any type of crossing routes, where he showed nice timing and anticipation.”
Lindsay Rhodes of NFL Network said it was a 65-throw script devised with Kevin O'Connell, who trained Mariota for the combine before joining the Cleveland Browns' staff.
