Marcus Mariota Reveals How He’ll Change Commanders’ Offense

Marcus Mariota is preparing to start at quarterback for the Washington Commanders following an elbow dislocation suffered by starter Jayden Daniels during a Week 2 loss to the Dallas Cowboys. Mariota stated that he plans to act like a point guard by quickly distributing the ball to playmakers rather than running as frequently as Daniels did.

Mariota faces his first start of the season against head coach Mike Macdonald and the defending Super Bowl champion Seattle Seahawks defense. To implement his quick-release approach, Mariota will rely on offensive targets such as Terry McLaurin, Stefon Diggs, Antonio Williams, and Rachaad White.
