If I remember correctly we ran one last week or a couple weeks ago that was almost picked off. It's really weird that such a simple play results in a turnover or near turnover every time it's run.

You see it frequently from young QBs - especially when they have any tendency to stare down a guy or have a longer release. The better NFL corners now how to jump that route. 

Watching Mariota throw the pick six to the far sideline thursday night gave me nightmare-like flashbacks of Blake doing it and also reminded me how well this staff has edited the playbook to his strengths and weaknesses. 

You hear Marrone harping in his pressers about looking at film every week and deciding "what to leave in and what to take out" and it's clear this staff actually does that on a weekly basis. 
Refreshing.
