NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- Marcus Mariota certainly is looking forward to a chance to play the Miami Dolphins for a second straight season.As is the Tennessee Titans offensive line.A year ago, the Dolphins sacked Mariota five times and finished with six in routing Tennessee 38-10 last year in Nashville.They also intercepted the rookie quarterback twice and forced him into two fumbles with Cameron Wake responsible for much of it with four sacks and both forced fumbles by halftime.Luckily for Mariota, Olivier Vernon now plays for the New York Giants after being flagged twice for unnecessary roughness. One of those hits sprained Mariotas left medial collateral ligament, costing the quarterback the next two games.Unfortunately last year there were some things that occurred during the game that we werent able to control and kind of affected the outcome of the game, Mariota said Wednesday. Thats part of it, just looking forward to getting back out there again.Mariota can go into Sundays game feeling a bit more secure in his pass protection, having been sacked only seven times -- a number cut in half from the 14 allowed through the first four games of his rookie season. Tennessee wound up allowing a league-worst 54 sacks in 2015.Now the Titans (1-3) rank 10th in the NFL allowing a sack on 5.15 percent of pass plays.Were blocking better, the schemes were doing some things differently scheme-wise to help with the protection and hopefully it continues, Titans coach Mike Mularkey said. Thats the plan.New general manager Jon Robinson signed center Ben Jones away from Houston before trading down from the No. 1 overall pick back to eighth to select Jack Conklin from Michigan State in just the latest attempt by this franchise to improve the offensive line. Both have started every game this season.Right guard Chance Warmack was placed on injured reserve Sept. 22 needing surgery on a torn tendon in his right hand, and Josh Kline, a waiver wire pickup from New England has started the past two games. Mularkey also hired Hall of Fame lineman Russ Grimm as his offensive line coach.Mularkey said left tackle Taylor Lewan has played well all season along with left guard Quinton Spain getting some much-needed experience in his second season.The Titans passed one test in last weeks 27-20 loss at Houston, allowing only one sack after giving up seven to the Texans last season.Lewan couldnt put his finger on exactly what is working better, though he also credited getting help from running backs and tight ends to block pass rushers. Lewan is looking forward to playing the Dolphins (1-3) again.Its a huge opportunity, Lewan said. Like Ive said, you want to be the best, play against the best. Those guys are definitely a great front line. Front sevens all unbelievable.Wake didnt exactly return the compliment when asked about what he sees in the Titans offensive line, joking he doesnt like offensive linemen.I think theyre like O-linemen, Wake said. Theyre big, theyre slow and theyre ugly, just like most of the ones we have here. Us fast pretty guys like to take advantage of them.Game notes Conklin and TE Jace Amaro were limited in practice Wednesday with a sore shoulder.

She beat Nuria Iturrios of Spain comfortably to win the award.After becoming the first Indian woman to represent the country in golf at the Rio Olympics, the 18-year-old from Bangalore won back-to-back titles at the Indian Open and the Qatar Ladies Open.Obviously there is a lot of attention, especially since the Olympics, Aditi said. A lot of people want to write about me because Im an Olympian, and not just part of womens golf. In that sense, I think womens golf is getting more popular in India. I think its good and I just try and deal with it the best that I can.Even before the Olympics, I was playing in LET events and I did sort of okay, but it wasnt like it was of interest at that time. But obviously after I played in the Olympics, everyone wants to know what I was doing because the Olympian whoo was leading after two days is now playing here.ddddddddddddI think that made a difference and hopefully the interest continues to grow, and not just with me but with all the women golfers in India.Aditi was impressive in her first round at the Olympics, but she dropped to tied-41st position at the end of the final round. Post-Rio, Aditi regularly got top 10 finishes before winning the two back-to-back titles at the year end.Aditi is now looking forward to resting before returning for her 2017 season. Ive been playing a lot of events and been playing well through all of them, she said. I think thats whats helping me. After this Ill have some off-time, so thats been good. Im just looking forward to going home. Spending three, four weeks at home, practice. Im actually getting a new driver and 3-wood from the new 917, so Im looking forward to practising with those. ' ' '
