NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- Marcus Mariota took off to his left on a designed run with blockers in front.Once the Titans quarterback broke out into the open away from defenders, he made a little stutter, hesitation step on his way to what would have been a touchdown.The little Deion Sanders-type move by the quiet Mariota caught his coach by surprise.Im shocked he did that. I am, coach Mike Mularkey said Sunday. But you know, hes having fun out here. I think hes had two very good days.Obviously, that was a well-designed, well-executed play. He had some space to run. You see he didnt run the next play. He came out. He was supposed to be in there. So Im glad hes having a little fun. Im glad to see that hes feeling as good as he is. Hopefully we can keep him that way.Mularkey has talked most of the offseason about getting Mariota running much more in his second NFL season.The Titans plan to run the ball much more in 2016 after trading for DeMarco Murray and drafting Heisman Trophy winner Derrick Henry out of Alabama.Mariota, the No. 2 pick of the 2015 draft and a Heisman winner, ran for 2,237 yards in his career at Oregon and will be a big part of that after running only 34 times as a rookie.After all, the quarterback who ran a 4.52-second 40-yard dash at the NFL combine turned in the NFLs longest play from scrimmage last December. Mariota took off on an 87-yard run where he split through the Jaguars defense for a touchdown.Titans linebacker Brian Orakpo said that TD run was ridiculous and can demoralize a defense.I hate chasing running quarterbacks, Orakpo said. Im speaking from experience. I used to hate chasing Michael Vick when he was in his prime, and Marcus has that same capability with his speed. It brings a whole other dimension. I fear for other guys. You get a guy whos a dual-threat guy, its really an advantage for us.Mariota averaged 7.4 yards per carry despite only an average of 2.5 carries per game as a rookie.The Titans ranked 25th in the NFL last season, averaging 92.8 yards per game. Even with Murray and Henry added to the backfield, Mularkey and the Titans see Mariotas legs as a way to keep defenses guessing and expand the offense.Thats going to open our offense up for this year because last year you didnt see him run a lot, tight end Delanie Walker said. Hopefully this year youll see some of that.Mariota reported for training camp weighing 222 pounds, up about 7 pounds from his rookie season. He hopes the extra muscle will make him more durable after he missed four games with knee injuries. Mariota certainly looked fast as he ran away from defenders, and the quarterback is willing to do whatever Mularkey asks of him.If he wants me to run some more, I can, Mariota said. It just depends on what the game plan is and how we can attack the defense were playing.That will be the key for how the Titans use Mariota.The quarterback took off on two designed runs during a team period Sunday, and Mularkey said they will plan accordingly against the defenses they play while trying to avoid leaving a defender unblocked.So theres no set number of runs, Mularkey said. But if we can, I mean you talk about a threat, a serious threat and a problem for defenses, its him running.Game notes Mularkey said rookie OLB Kevin Dodd, whos on the physically unable to perform list, could be activated within the week. The 33rd pick overall in the draft, Dodd had surgery on his right foot in late May. ... Mularkey said undrafted rookie defensive Terrell Lathan from TCU decided to retire and did not report for training camp.
