The 2011 Tim Tebow Tracking Thread

[RosettaStoned]

Let's not confuse play calling with scheme. Play calling is based on personnel and obviously with a running QB out there you tailor your play calling towards that. Scheme wise though I think the zone blocking principals are the same. Obviously the main difference is there is now 1 extra potential ball carrier on every down, which makes a huge difference on its own.

I think fundamentally you and I are squarely in the "enjoy this while it lasts" camp so I won't continue to argue semantics as to whether this is a BRAND NEW SCHEME or just a MODIFIED SCHEME. Either way the gameplans are drastically different now from where they were at the start of the year, and it was a ballsy move by Denver's coaching staff. Love seeing the effects, as a spread option fanboy.

You sir, are no high school coach so you can fuck right off. Hippy.

Zone blocking needs a ton of repetitions against thousands of fronts. When to deuce bump, when to scoop, when to let go, how to pick up a stunt, a blitz, all of these different factors are relevant in a Zone blocking scheme.

I thought the whole point of Zone blocking was its simplicity. You don't need a ton of repetitions against numerous fronts, because you are going to be blocking it the same way every time. Its the simplest of all blocking concepts to teach. If you are having difficulty picking up a stunt in a zone blocking scheme, then you are probably teaching it wrong.

IMO, this offence/offense is so ridiculous, they expected it to fail. I mean, really, 8 passes a game???

But it hasn't failed ... much to their surprise.

IMO, if they had run a spread with Tebow with a lot of passing, it would have succeeded too ... because this guy is a winner, like Doug Flutie.

I'm guessing they thought the option offence/offense would put Tebow in a bigger position to fail ... and, to their surprise, it hasn't.

I'm sticking to my theory W2B(4)TD. The Broncos wanted Tebow to fail and he's fucking their world up by winning. I'm not asking you to agree, it's my theory.

:nono:

Week 17 Kyle Orton along with The Chiefs comes to town to face the guy who stole his starting job, can't wait.

Watching Tebow on redzone, its amazing how pathetic his WRs are.

Epic handoff!

[Warner2BruceTD]

Epic handoff!

He carried the ball 22 times and had a QB rating of 95.4. No turnovers (again) and produced a TD.

And before someone comes into the thread to talk about how awesome the Denver defense is now as compared to before, let me point out once again that Denver's new running attack (51 carries for 200+ yards) and lack of turnovers (hi there, Kyle Orton!) has a lot to do with that.

but, der, he only completed 9 passes!!!1!! what a terrible player!

[jms493]

4 in a row........I'll shut up.

[NAHSTE]

Epic handoff!

Way to completely disregard the function of a backside read option.

I can't wait for all of the "I told ya so's" when Denver finally gets blown out by somebody.

[ZoneBlitz]

I can't wait for all of the "I told ya so's" when Denver finally gets blown out by somebody.

How long do you think this can continue? Is it a matter of teams figuring out how to stop this, or can this be successful on a consistent basis? I hope its the latter, i love this style of play...but the Wildcat was killed by year 2.

[FirstTimer]

Didn't that happen already with Detroit?

[Goober]

I think he only had about 40 yards less than Rivers heading into OT despite throwing about 20 less passes.

No turnovers + points in the RZ + Big plays = Wins

Tebow averaged eight yards an attempt, to River's 5.2. Plus he didn't have any bone headed delay of game penalties.
