NASHVILLE -- Shaun Hill will probably take the first snap Sunday when the Minnesota Vikings open their season against the Tennessee Titans at Nissan Stadium in Nashville, Tenn. Air Max 95 China Wholesale .But if two NFL games 21 years apart mean anything, Hill might not finish.Either way, the Vikings arent planning to publicly stack the quarterback depth chart before Sunday, coach Mike Zimmer said Wednesday.Titans coach Mike Mularkey was blunt when asked if he expected Sam Bradford to start Sunday.The number of starts (Bradford) has, hes a very intelligent quarterback, hes faced this defense before, Mularkey said as he listed the reasons he believes that Bradford will be the starter. They wouldnt give up a 1 (first-round pick) and a 4 (fourth-round pick) 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.In 1993, when current Minnesota offensive coordinator Norv Turner owned the same position with the Dallas Cowboys, starting quarterback Troy Aikman sat out a game against the Cardinals because of a hamstring injury.Jason Garrett started, but Bernie Kosar, signed five days before the game after being canned by Bill Belichick in Cleveland, was the backup.Before the first quarter was finished, Kosar was in the game and played its remainder, completing 13-of-21 passes with a touchdown in Dallas 20-15 win.Two years ago, Hill started the opener for St. Louis after Bradford went down with a season-ending ACL tear in the third exhibition game. Hill lasted a half, going 8-for-13 for 81 yards and an interception before a thigh injury knocked him out.The Rams were 34-6 losers that day to ... the Vikings, whose Turner-run offense extracted an efficient day from quarterback Matt Cassel while getting help from a defense that contributed an interception return score.Two years later, the 36-year old Hill again plays the role of veteran backup filling in for young franchise quarterback, in this case Teddy Bridgewater, who will have surgery on his torn ACL Thursday.To complete the circle, Minnesota opted to fortify the quarterback position last weekend by acquiring Bradford from Philadelphia for a first-round pick in next years NFL Draft and a fourth-round pick in 2018.Turner will have had eight days to acclimate Bradford and perhaps make him functional if Hill struggles or is injured.Speaking after practice Wednesday, Bradford is happy with the progress hes making picking up the offense.Obviously, Im much more comfortable today than I was on Sunday, he said. It just helps getting reps at practice. Ive been studying more of our playbook this week, making sure Im comfortable with what were doing.Tennessees quarterback has no such issues. Marcus Mariota enjoyed a good rookie year despite missing time with injuries, and has looked sharp during training camp and exhibition games.Mariota completed 23 of 31 passes in exhibition games for 319 yards, playing to a QB rating of 104.1.The Titans preseason, unlike Minnesotas, has been mostly positive. Coach Mike Mularkeys run-first approach appears to be taking shape as the line has shown signs of being physical, while backs DeMarco Murray and Derrick Henry could be a dangerous 1-2 punch.Murray has looked more like the guy who led the NFL in rushing and won Offensive Player of the Year honors two years ago as Dallas won the NFC East, while Henry appears to be a second-round steal, based on averaging more than six yards per carry in exhibition play.Its time to do what we came here to do, Henry said of making his NFL debut.While Tennessee plans to run first and then take its chances in the air off play-action, the Vikings also have a capable weapon at running back.Adrian Peterson is their go-to guy in most circumstances, and even more so now with the loss of Bridgewater.Peterson recorded his seventh 1,000-yard season in 2015, with 1,485 yards and 11 touchdowns, and although hes ancient by running back standards at 31, he shows no signs of slippage.The former MVP enters the season with 11,675 yards in nine years, one of which was shortened by injury and another that was ended after Week 1 in 2014 due to legal trouble.Teddys a phenomenal player, but even when he was in there, it all starts with Adrian, Titans defensive end Brian Orakpo said. Weve got to be sound against the run. Weve got to hit our run fits and do a good job against 28 (Peterson). Hes been doing it for years.This will be the first time the teams have met since 2012, when Minnesota whacked Tennessee 30-7 in Week 5.This will be the Vikings first visit to Nashville since 2008 and the first time these teams have opened against each other since 1989, when the Titans were doing business as the Houston Oilers. Cheap Balenciaga Shoes China . Paul Pierce couldnt believe he missed at the end. Young scored a season-high 26 points to spark a huge effort from the leagues most productive bench, and Los Angeles beat the Brooklyn Nets 99-94 on Wednesday night after blowing a 27-point lead. Balenciaga Shoes Discount . Radwanska, making her debut in the Seoul tournament, hit eight aces in a match that lasted 1 hour, 4 minutes at Olympic Park tennis stadium. "It was definitely a very good match -- I was playing really good tennis," Radwanska said. http:///...-china/triple-s.html .Y. - Detroit goaltender Jonas Gustavsson has earned NHL first star of the week honours after winning in his first three appearances of the season. For a split-second, Umesh Yadavs heart was in his mouth. Hed had the key wicket of Englands innings clasped in his hands but appeared to have tossed it away in a celebratory gesture reminiscent of Herschelle Gibbs infamous dropping of the World Cup at Headingley in 1999.This time, however, there was no reprieve for the oppositions centurion. Whereas at Headingley 17 years ago, Steve Waugh went on to make a matchwinning 120 not out, in Rajkot Joe Root was sent on his way for 124, as Yadav ended a vital 179-run stand for Englands fourth wicket.The moment happened at blink-and-you-miss-it speed. Root, on the front foot, drove hard back towards Yadavs knees, and in a single upwards motion, the bowler first wrapped his fingers round the ball then flung it skywards, but with less control than he might have desired.In a moment of panic, Yadav parried it over his head, peered back over his shoulder to locate the ball, then watched it flop to the turf near umpire Kumar Dharmasena. Root, understandably, stood his ground, but the batsmans fate was effectively sealed from the moment that Dharmasena gave a soft signal to the third umpire, Rod Tucker, that he believed that Yadav had been in control of the ball for long enough, and therefore the catch was fair.The relevant part of the Law (19.4) states:The act of making the catch, or of fielding the ball, shall start from the time when the ball first comes into contact with some part of a fielders person and shall end when a fielder obtains complete control both over the ball and over his own movement.I think the on-field umpires soft signal was the key, Fraser Stewart, of the MCC, told ESPNcricinfo. If hed given a not-out soft signal, there was probably enough doubt to kkeep it as not out. Nike Air Max 720 Wholesale. . However, as the soft signal was out, the on-field umpires must have been happy with it as their gut reaction and, had it been in a game with no reviews or referrals, they would have given it out.Did he have complete control over the ball? In slow-motion you would probably say yes, but in real time its less clear. It could easily be argued either way.The soft signal was introduced in response to concerns that TV replays, for all the benefits that they offer, dont always show the full picture as experienced live out in the middle. Low catches, in particular, have often fallen victim to the phenomenon of foreshortening, as 3D events are replayed on 2D screens. In November 2014, the ICC introduced the concept of broadcasting the discussions between on-field and third umpires, to further demystify the process for viewers.Decision-making is an important skill and one that should be applied at the highest level of the game, umpire Simon Taufel told the Times of India recently. So, the soft signal maintains the premise that the decision-making happens on field and not just left to technology to provide an outcome.Root himself was phlegmatic about the incident. I was so disgusted with the shot that - giving it the Arsene Wenger approach - I didnt really see what was happening.But having seen the slow-motion replay, it does look out. When its sped up it looks a bit strange, but I was very lucky to get an umpires call with an lbw earlier on and you have to take the rough with the smooth sometimes and just get on with it.Additional reporting by George Dobell ' ' '
