EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. -- Minnesota Vikings coach Mike Zimmer said he hasnt decided between Shaun Hill and Sam Bradford?for Sundays game against the Tennessee Titans, and added he wont announce who his starting quarterback will be before the game.Zimmer said he will tell the team once hes made a decision. So get your moles out, he said.The Vikings are splitting snaps between Hill and Bradford this week after acquiring Bradford from the Philadelphia Eagles in a trade on Saturday. The deal, made after quarterback?Teddy Bridgewater?tore his ACL and dislocated his left knee on Aug. 30, plucked Bradford from the Eagles starting lineup and has forced him to learn a new offense eight days before the start of the regular season.Starting receiver?Charles Johnson?said after Wednesdays practice hes been practicing more with Hill this week than Bradford.Sams still coming along, learning the playbook and everything, Johnson said. Hes getting his work in, as well.Bradford said Wednesday hes much more comfortable in the Vikings offense than he was during his first practice with the team on Sunday, adding he doesnt expect to wear a wristband with the plays on it if he does play Sunday.Obviously, just being around here for a couple days, it just helps, seeing cutups, watching film, having meetings, talking to coaches, running plays, getting some reps in practice, he said.Asked if starting the game following a short stretch of preparation could have any adverse effects on his confidence going forward, Bradford said, Ive been through quite a few ups and downs in this league. As far as my confidence, and my mental approach to things, I dont think that would have any effect.Titans coach Mike Mularkey, though, didnt sound fazed by the Vikings subterfuge on Wednesday, saying the two quarterbacks are not two completely different styles and adding that common sense suggests Bradford will be the starter sooner rather than later.The number of starts [Bradford has had], hes a very intelligent quarterback, hes faced this defense before, Mularkey said. They wouldnt give up a [No.] 1 and a [No.] 4 to have him sit very long. Hes had a very good preseason -- really, both the quarterbacks had good preseasons. I would anticipate [Bradford starts], and if he doesnt, its not going to change how we prepare.Hill, whom the Vikings signed in 2015 to back up Bridgewater, figured to be the starter following the quarterbacks injury until the Vikings made the trade for Bradford, and Zimmer said Monday that Hill was initially disappointed by the news. Hill, though, said his reaction was one of surprise more than disappointment.I dont read anything you guys write. When I watch TV, I watch Disney Junior. So unless it scrolls across the bottom on Disney Junior, I dont see it, Hill said. I stay right in my lane. I keep that same narrow focus throughout the whole season, whether Im playing or not.
