Mariota heavier, more comfortable in second NFL season
By TERESA M. WALKER
Associated Press
NASHVILLE, Tenn. —
Marcus Mariota feels much
more comfortable going
into his second season with
the Tennessee Titans. The
quarterback also is a little
heavier.
The few extra pounds
could help Mariota better
handle the long NFL season.
“Sixteen games is a long
season, and unfortunately
I didn’t make all 16 last
year,” Mariota said Tuesday.
“That’s deinitely a goal of
mine to play all 16.”
Mariota and the rest
of the Titans hit the ield
Tuesday for the irst of
Tennessee’s 10 organized
team activities during their
offseason program. The
quarterback has a lot of new
faces looking back at him in
the huddle thanks to a busy
offseason by new general
manager Jon Robinson.
Mariota also has a new
offensive coordinator in
Terry Robiskie.
Instead of an undrafted
free agent taking his hand-

offs, Mariota now can give
the ball to the NFL’s 2014
rushing leader in DeMarco
Murray or the rookie who
followed the quarterback
in winning the Heisman
Trophy in Derrick Henry.
Mariota said Murray made a
few cuts Tuesday that were
pretty special.
“To have someone like
that, a talent back there is
not only going to open up
a lot of run game stuff, but
the play-action game as well
as the pass game,” Mariota
said. “To have that threat
in the backield will really
make our team a lot more
dimensional.”
That’s all by design.
The Titans are trying to
better protect Mariota and
give him more offensive
help to keep defenses from
teeing off on the quarter-
back who set a handful of
franchise passing records as
a rookie. Mariota was 230 of
370 for 2,818 yards passing
and 19 touchdowns — all
team records. He also had
the longest run in the NFL
last season at 87 yards.
But Mariota missed four
games, including the inal
two of the season, because
of injuries. He sprained each
knee when hit in the pocket.
So he added ive pounds,
pushing himself to 225
pounds after spending the
irst month of the offseason
simply recovering from his
rookie season.
Mariota
said
he’ll
test himself through the
remainder of the team’s
on-ield workouts to see
how fast he is with the extra
weight. He hopes to main-
tain his speed.
“That for us as an offen-
sive hopefully will (be)
another weapon, and I’ll try
my best to kind of maintain
that,” Mariota said.
That’s exactly what
coach Mike Mularkey
wants, having made it clear
he wants Mariota running
more since the quarterback
can better protect himself
in the open ield. Tennessee
also brought in another
option at wide receiver,
signing Rishard Matthews
from Miami.
Veteran center Ben Jones
was brought in to anchor an
offensive line that gave up
the most sacks in the NFL
last season (54). The Titans
drafted tackle Jack Conklin
with the eighth pick overall
out of Michigan State, and
Conklin likely will start
soon after veteran Byron
Bell dislocated his left
ankle Tuesday and had to be
carted off the ield.
Mariota said he trusts the
coaches to make the best
decision on who starts on the
line. The quarterback who
won the Heisman Trophy
is focused more on trying
to win games like he did at
Oregon after the Titans went
3-13 in his debut season.
Luckily, Mariota is a rookie
no longer.
“Last season was brand
new,” Mariota said. “A
brand new city, brand new
team. Now kind of being
in it for a year, it’s nice
to come out here and feel
comfortable.”
