The 2011 Tim Tebow Tracking Thread

[ralaw]

Just wait and see what happens against the Patriots.......

I've been waiting for this team to lose for several weeks, but it seems every game something happens that just doesn't make any sense....from bad coaching decisons, to bad turnovers, to teams missing their key players to long field goals. However, if the Gold Standard NFL franchise and the Golden Boy goes down to Tebow then something is going on.

[Houston]

Patriots gonna lose.

[ralaw]

Patriots gonna lose.

At this point I wouldn't be surprised. We will find out just how legit this Denver defense is......if its legit than I expect a really good game, as we all know the Patriots defense can't stop anyone.

[Warner2BruceTD]

The first few games in we were running pretty much exclusively out of a super heavy package with 3 TEs, one of which is an eligible tackle most of the time (Chris Clark). That's still the package we run most of the read-option hand-offs out of now.

I think Denver is at their best (and when he's been the most hot) when you have Tebow empty backfield with 4 or 5 wideouts because Denver has had the slot guys running digs and outs to pull men out of the box while the guys on the outside would run seams or posts to take the safeties deep.

Usually if Tebow can't find a guy breaking loose in the secondary (he will run around behind the line of scrimmage endlessly it seems) there is a running lane open somewhere because at this point everyone's assignments have gone to shit.

We've started to use those sets a little more the past two weeks and I believe it can work. We scored a ton of points against the Vikings and for all that people are making about the poor start for Tebow, he also saw his young, raw wideouts drop 6 passes in the game. He threw a great deep ball to Demaryius Thomas that would have gone for 6 in the third quarter, but when the ball reached him Demaryius did his best "Hot Hands" (Little Giants) impression and looked totally lost trying to bring it in.

I know people are talking a lot about the Bears going into the prevent, but they weren't in it in OT and Tebow completed all his passes in that frame too and moved Denver right into FG range on his first drive of the quarter. Also, the Jets tried to do the exact opposite thing against us by sending guys from the edges to get to Tebow and we all saw what happened in that game.

Finally, he gets better at the end of the games. Physically better, mentally better and fundamentally better. If you're looking for someone to explain that I don't know what to tell you.

That's because people don't understand what a prevent defense is.

The Bears were not playing a prevent. The Bears safties were playing a deep cover 2.

My thing about the game on Sunday was that Matt Prater is equally responsible for the win as Tebow. Sure, he didn't drive the field, but how many other NFL kickers are going to make both of those kicks in pressure situations?

And I'm fully expecting New England to blow out the Broncos. I would definitely think something is going on if they lose this game.

That's essentially what the Bears prevent defense is. It's a Cover 2 shell with the DB's taking outside leverage(unless you're Tim Jennings) and the safeties starting 20 yards deep and dropping to almost 30 at the snap. The Bears have never had a true "prevent" look..all they do is run Cover 2 shell with deeper drops and no press on the outside.

Something IS going on! Duh. What rock have you been hiding under?

I don't really give Denver a chance this week, but regardless, it'll be interesting to see what people say when the magic finally does end (it is gonna end.... right? )

[killgod]

I'm pretty sure the last time the Pats beat Denver Danny Kanell was our QB.

New England has a pretty rich history of blowing it against Denver for the past 15 years or so.

Because the NE/DEN game 6 years ago has ANYTHING to do with Sunday.


People still believe this? Last Sunday has nothing to do with this Sunday let alone any other game. lol

[killgod]

The number one rushing team in the league going up against a team that just got done making Roy Helu look like Eric Dickerson.

No reason to worry...

That's a more logical thought process than using ancient history.

I approve of this retort.

[SlowMs3]

Yea but the Pats Rush D is top 10(well before last week) its their Passing D which is terrible.... I think Tebow might have a chance to throw 300yds this game. I don't think they will run that well against our D. It does scare me that our D made one of the worse offensives in the league look like the 99 Rams out there lol Pats will win 27-13... Its not like they have B.Marshall out there Destroying our secondary

[Rudi]

Tebowing Fatheads on the market now.

To be fair to Helu, he was averaging 4.9 YPC going into the game. Dude has been on a tear in recent weeks. Of course, the Patriots also could let him run- they were banking on defending the pass and letting Grossman try to beat them. Didn't happen in the end.
