Titans To Sign Mort’s Kid

Posted by Mike Florio on April 27, 2009, 11:16 a.m.

Though we didn’t see it, several readers tell us that an awkward exchange unfolded on Sunday between ESPN’s Mel Kiper, Jr. and Chris Mortensen, regarding Mort Jr.

As we hear it, Kiper was asked to assess the pro prospects of quarterback Alex Mortensen (hey, same first name as Florio, Jr. . . . and no one cares).

Kiper basically said that the younger Mortensen should get into coaching. The elder Mort was, we’re told, shocked by the candor.:laugh2:

Apparently, the Titans disagree with Kiper.

According to Terry McCormick of the Nashville City Paper, the Titans have inked quarterback Alex Mortensen as an undrafted free agent.

Meanwhile, no team has ever asked Kiper to do anything other than shut up.

I already hate the Wildcat. I am looking forward to its demise.

My High School mascot was the Wildcats. My college alma mater is the Wildcats. When the Cowboys are not televised here I like to wo watch them play at the Wildcat House here in Tucson.

I don't like gimmick offenses and couldn't agree with you more.

It'll be a while. Spread offenses spread from HS to college and now the NFL.. Pretty soon you'll see disposable spread QB's in the NFL.. They'll be around only for a couple of years, because of the beating they take.. Pro style stud QB's are getting harder and harder to find..

While the deployment in the NFL may be trendy, the single wing is not a gimmick. The half back option pass is a gimmick. It will be used once or twice a season. Wildcat is more like the reverse, which might be used once or twice a game, for particular, good football reasons. If only for the time the opposing players will have to spend in preperation studying for it.
