The Tennessee Titans wanted to wrap up their offseason with a trip to Fort Campbell.

With soldiers at the Army post busy right now Calvin Ridley Color Rush Jersey , the NFL team spent the final session of minicamp with police officers.

The Titans made the very short trip to the Metropolitan Nashville Police Department's training center near the team's headquarters and learned about how officers are trained , use of force and gun safety .

"We thought that we would mix some gun safety in with interaction with the police department," coach Mike Vrabel said Thursday.

"There was a lot of chiefs, there was 30 police officers, there was cadets. Our guys got to work one-on-one, and those guys were the coaches for the day. We tried to listen and pay attention the best we could, and had a little fun along the way."

The Titans also shot guns on the range, a first for Vrabel. The coach said the Titans met with NFL officials Wednesday going over league policies, which include no firearms allowed at a team's building, parking lot or hotel. Vrabel said no, this visit was not tied to the national anthem.

"This is about us being with the police officers in our community and gun safety http://www.chiefsauthorizedshops.com/authentic-armani-watts-jersey ," Vrabel said.

The Titans wrapped up the session, returned to the team's building and then players scattered for their last break before reporting for training camp July 25.

Quarterbacks, injured players and rookies will be due back July 22.

Even with the offseason ending, the Titans finished some business Thursday afternoon by signing rookie linebacker Harold Landry to his contract to wrap up their four-man draft class. Landry, a popular choice to go in the first round of many mock drafts, fell to No. 41 where the Titans traded up to select him .

The linebacker ranked second in school history at Boston College with 26 sacks and second with 47陆 tackles for loss.

Vrabel is expecting everyone under contract to be at training camp, though Pro Bowl left tackle Taylor Lewan is the only question mark with Landry's contract finished. Lewan worked out with the Titans during most of the offseason program, then skipped this week's mandatory minicamp wanting a new contract .

"I would expect all players, all coaches, and all personnel staff to be here under contract," Vrabel said of Lewan. "But Cam Atkinson Jersey Kids , do I think he will? I have no idea."

Only right tackle Jack Conklin is not expected to be ready for the start of training camp. Conklin is recovering from surgery to repair a torn left ACL hurt in the Titans' divisional playoff loss at New England.

Wide receivers Rishard Matthews, who watched the offseason sessions open to reporters, and Corey Davis, limited over the past week, are expected to be available.

Vrabel reminded the Titans before they left to get as much personal business handled before training camp as possible. He also told them about the countdown clock he keeps on his phone.

"We're 87 days from our first game," the first-time head coach said. "I think that starts to put things in perspective, and when I say that I get excited to be in this position. 87 days from a real NFL football game. That was the first message, that we're that close."

Notes: The Titans had four players in minicamp and signed WR Brandon Shippen and CB Jarell Carter on Thursday. They waived WR Zach Pascal and CB Jeremy Boykins to clear roster space. Shippen came into the NFL as an undrafted free agent and has been with Miami, the Rams and Chiefs. Carter was undrafted out of Trinity International and spent two months on Arizona's practice squad last year.

In 2012, when now-49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan was the offensive coordinator in Washington, Robert Griffin III had one of the best rookie seasons a quarterback has ever had. That same year Adidas Mitchell Marner Jersey , Colin Kaepernick led San Francisco to the Super Bowl, and the two of them appeared to be ushering in a new era for the way the quarterback position would be played.

It hasn’t worked out that way, and Shanahan was asked yesterday if the zone read offense has been figured out.

“No,” Shanahan answered. “There isn’t anything to figure out. It’s a very sound scheme.”

So why don’t we see as much of that style of football as we saw in 2012? Shanahan said the issue is it’s hard to find a quarterback who can run that offense — and hard to keep that quarterback healthy if you’re using him as both a runner and a passer.

“Is your quarterback good enough at running with the football to make them commit to stop it? And once they do, is he good enough to make the passes that he has to that they just opened up?” Shanahan said. “If he is, that’s a huge issue. It’s tough to find that guy. And if you don’t protect him right and you don’t do the right stuff it is tough to stay healthy.”

Shanahan said that in 2012, Washington’s offense was incredibly hard to stop, and Shanahan said it wasn’t so much the zone read as the threat of the zone read.

“People talk about that 2012 year but our running game was 70 percent outside zone. It was one-third zone read, but everyone was scared of it, so they played for it every play, which is why Alfred Morris [was second in the league in rushing] 49ers Cheap Jerseys ,” Shanahan said. “It was because of the threat of zone read that allows you to do a ton of other stuff. It’s not your base offense but if you’re in pistol or shotgun you can run it every time.”

Shanahan still believes the threat of a quarterback running can keep defenses off balance.

“Defenses have been playing 11 against 10 for so long and now all of a sudden you have to play 11 against 11 and if you’re not it changes everything you do,” Shanahan said. “It’s not that they’ve caught up, you just need the right people, the right commitment, you have to stay healthy and you have to have a whole package together.”

Finding that whole package is not easy, but a team that finds the package could still win with that offense.
