NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- Rotating defensive linemen or even outside linebackers to keep players fresh to rush the quarterback is nothing new in the NFL.The Tennessee Titans have extended the practice and are alternating four players at the two safety positions.The rotation includes listed starters DaNorris Searcy and Rashad Johnson, plus special teams captain Daimion Stafford and rookie third-round pick Kevin Byard.Defensive coordinator Dick LeBeau, a Hall of Fame player and longtime coach, approached Titans coach Mike Mularkey with the idea before the season after all four players performed well through the offseason and training camp.We just thought we had a group of safeties that had complementary skill sets, and they were all pretty good athletes. And if we can keep them really fresh and really sharp in the fourth quarter, like you want your defensive line, we would take that, LeBeau said. I checked with coach Mularkey and he thought it was a good idea, and its been good for us.LeBeau rotates the safeties usually by series, or in an extended drive, rather than situationally.It was a great idea, Mularkey said. I think theyre all playing good football for us. They all have a little bit to each of them, and obviously if youre playing a lot you feel like youre a bigger part of it. Our guys have really contributed the way we hoped.Johnson leads the foursome with 22 tackles followed by Stafford with 20, Searcy 17 and Byard 14. Stafford has the only interception in the group.Even though it means fewer snaps each game, the players have bought in to the concept knowing the payoff is having more stamina in the fourth quarter. The Titans (3-3) currently rank ninth in the NFL in total defense and 11th against the pass with Indianapolis (2-4) visiting Sunday.A lot of us play on special teams too, so it keeps everybody fresh, Searcy said. My reaction, me being an older guy, I know it takes a lot off your body because youre not out there hitting. It keeps everybody fresh and able to play.Johnson, in his eighth NFL season, has adapted well to a lesser role even though he had never rotated in and out of games before this season.At the end of the day, it just keeps you locked in and focused for the entire game, because you never know what type of situation you may get thrown in, Johnson said. It keeps guys on their toes.LeBeau and the Titans defensive coaches may have been planting the seeds of this rotation as far back as May.They said, `Some days we dont know how the rotation is going to be. Were going to call it out on the sideline and youve got to run in and be ready to play, Johnson said. I think they were kind of preparing for something like this, knowing they had so many guys that could play the position.One player benefiting the most might be Byard, a rookie from Middle Tennessee. He played the most snaps of the four in last weeks 28-26 win over Cleveland.My confidence is building up every game, Byard said.Game notes The Titans listed only two players on their injury report, and both are expected to play. Tight end Anthony Fasano and cornerback Brice McCain were on the report after sitting out Wednesday with ankle injuries. Both were full participants on Thursday and Friday. The Colts listed 19 players on their initial injury report and have already ruled out seven players for Sundays game.---Online:AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and AP NFL Twitter feed: https://twitter.com/AP-NFL SWell Flasche Kaufen .

Every sport has officials and they also have stories about hard work and sacrifice but their accomplishments are seldom recognized by anyone outside their inner circle.With the deadline for franchise tags passed, there were no big surprises as teams locked up their prize talent. Free agency is only a week away, and it seems like a good time to take stock of those who are sticking around and others that might test their value on the open market.Tom Julian has assessed whats happened... Ins & outs Our live blog has all the latest news TaggedVon Miller (LB, Denver Broncos) Miller is tagged All the details on Broncos star This seemed like a no-brainer for Denver. The Super Bowl MVP was the heart of one of the most ferocious defences in the league last year, particularly throughout their playoff run.However with limited cap space, and a host of other talent approaching free agency, the Broncos may struggle to keep that powerhouse defense together. Von Millers reaction to winning the Super Bowl Mo Wilkerson (DE, New York Jets)New Yorks premier defensive talent is staying put... for now. Although the Jets have used the franchise tag on Wilkerson, they might still be looking for a trade partner.The Jets are short on cap space and keeping the tagged Wilkerson will cost them almost $16 million. However, he is only 26 and one of the best defensive players in the game. With the Jets roster in a relatively strong position for a playoff push, it may be worth keeping the Pro Bowler around. Mo Wilkersons future is far from certain despite his tag Josh Norman (CB, Carolina Panthers)The cornerback was influential in the Panthers road to Super Bowl 50, and the franchise were keen to keep him as part of their plans for the upcoming season, using the non-exclusive tag.Carolina will look to sign Norman to a long-term deal in Charlotte, but in the meantime if another team wants to sign the 28-year old, they will have to give up two first round picks as compensation. Josh Norman made his mark this season with several stunning displays - here are his best moments. Kirk Cousins (QB, Washington Redskins) Cousins tagged Full story on Redskins QB The Redskins have ensured their starting quarterback wont hit free agency next week by using the non-exclusive franchise tag. It allows the organisation to take another season with Cousins and work out whether he is their long-term quarterback.For his part, Cousins will be paid like a superstar, collecting $20 million on a one-year contract - a mere 2900 percent increase on last years $660,000 deal. Kirk Cousins visited Sky Sports to play a quickfire game called you like that Other tagged players: Alshon Jeffery (WR, Chicago Bears), Justin Tucker (K, Baltimore Ravens), Cordy Glenn (T, Buffalo Bills), Olivier Vernon (DE, Miami Dolphins), Eric Berry (S, Kansas City Chiefs), Trumaine Johnson (CB, LA Rams).The best of the rrestThere is still a breadth of talent not yet committed to one franchise or another.dddddddddddd Some players, like Broncos quarterback Brock Osweiler, will likely get signed before free agency starts next week. Others will almost certainly get the chance to speak to other teams.Malik Jackson (DT, Denver Broncos)Jackson had about as perfect a year as any player could hope for coming into free agency. With 34 tackles, 5.5 sacks and a defensive touchdown in Super Bowl 50, the defensive end is in a very strong position to negotiate a monster deal.Expect the Chicago Bears, where Jacksons former coach John Fox now operates, and the Oakland Raiders to compete for Jacksons signature. Malik Jacksons Super Bowl touchdown after Von Miller stripped Cam Newton Matt Forte (RB, Chicago Bears)The Bears have parted company with their veteran running back, eight years after drafting him. In that time, Forte rushed for over 8,000 yards, the second highest total in franchise history.In todays free agency market, running backs do not command such a powerful salary, however there are opportunities for Forte to market his experience. Look no further than the New England Patriots, who may consider the 30-year-old a perfect pairing with Dion Lewis. Watch Matt Forte run it for a touchdown against the Green Bay Packers. Alex Mack (C, Cleveland Browns)The highly-rated centre has voided the last three years of his contract with the Browns, foregoing the $8 million-per-year guaranteed money. He will look to become the highest paid centre in the game, and the possibility of breaking the $10 million-per-year mark, the first time in his positions history, is conceivable.The Jaguars, who almost signed Mack two years ago, are likely to be in the hunt again. With a wealth of cap space and a leaky defense, it could be a perfect partnership. Where will Alex Mack end up? Kelechi Osemele (G, Baltimore Ravens)Osemele is considered one of the best guards in the NFL and at 26, his stock is still rising. The Ravens are in a cap bind and with no way out except to let players test their value, Osemele will look to get the contract he believes he deserved.The New York Giants may be the ones willing to meet his demands. With a shortage of talent at right guard and a mountain of cap space, they could go all out for Osemele. The Oakland Raiders and Cleveland Browns will also be watching closely, as they both look to improve on the defensive side of the ball. The Ravens are struggling to keep Kelechi Osemele (left) Other free agents of interest: Doug Martin (RB, Tampa Bay Buccaneers), Jason Pierre-Paul (DE, New York Giants), Danny Trevathan (LB, Denver Broncos)In other newsSam Bradford has signed an extension with the Philadelphia Eagles.
