The Facts: Mettenberger is going to do his best to make it hard for the Titans to hand over the starting quarterback job to Marcus Mariota. "I don't [know] what the mindset is, but at the end of the day I can just control what I do and I'm extremely confident in myself, almost to a fault," Mettenberger, last year's sixth-round pick and Tennessee's incumbent starting quarterback, told ESPN's Adam Caplan in a text. "But people who know me know I'm not going down without a fight to the death."

Diehards Line: Mariota, speaking after the first practice of Titans rookie minicamp on Friday, said his mentality would match Mettenberger's. Titans coach Ken Whisenhunt said before the draft that if the team selected a quarterback second overall, it would expect him to start right away. After Mariota's selection, the coach said the plan was for the rookie to start. Let's hope it doesn't kill Mettenberger.
