Silver Minings: Will we see more Marcus Mariota packages?

In the weeks since he returned from an injury, the Las Vegas Raiders have occasionally sprinkled a Marcus Mariota package into the offense. It has produced solid results and it’ll will be interesting to see if offensive coordinator Greg Olson will decide to add more Mariota plays in the final five games of the 2021 season to help kickstart the offense, which has struggled during a stretch in which it has lost four of the past five games.

So far, Mariota has five carries for 45 yards and a touchdown this season.

Of course, these type of packages are most effective when used in small doses to catch the opposing defenses off guard.
