Taylor Lewan: Titans were soft on offensive line last year

The Titans will have a new quarterback in Marcus Mariota this year and they’d like to put the second overall pick of the 2015 draft in position to have as much success as possible.

Some of that will be done by bringing him along at the right pace during training camp and some will be done by making sure that Mariota doesn’t get overwhelmed by opposing defenses in the regular season. The offensive line will play a big part in the latter as they’ll be responsible for both protecting Mariota and opening holes in the run game so that the team doesn’t have to put too much on the rookie’s shoulders.
