How a reporter's question doesn't tell you all he's up to
NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Wednesdays are the biggest day of a reporter’s work week for those who cover an NFL team.
It features the first conversations we have with the coach and players that are forward-facing more than looking back. It’s the first guys can speak about an opponent having done some homework and seen some game plan.
It’s the first time a lot of players are available since the post-game locker room. And in addition to Mike Mularkey’s chat, we get our weekly time with Marcus Mariota.
I asked a question of Mariota yesterday and it drew a response on Twitter that prompted me to come here and write a little about the process of working a team and a locker room.
Mariota on if being back at EverBank Field, where he suffered a broken fibula on Christmas Eve, will be at all weird: "No." pic.twitter.com/jBS3TwvzCZ
