Every year at this time, a storyline emerges in the early days of training camp. This year, sparked by the fact that Titans rookie quarterback Marcus Mariota has yet to throw an interception during practice.
It’s a meaningless stat, during the portion of the calendar where the only meaningful thing that happens are injuries. But we focus on it, because we need to focus on something.
On multiple occasions during Saturday’s practice, as noted in the tweets of Terry McCormick of TitanInsider.com, Mariota almost threw that first interception of training camp on two or three different occasions, but the defensive backs (proving why they play defense) failed to make the catches.
