The 2011 Tim Tebow Tracking Thread

[FirstTimer]

So why is the same offensive line throwing the exact same blocks now getting 5 yards a carry for their backs instead of two?

It's not like Denver didn't run teh ball well before Tebow took over for good. They had game sof 131, 119, and 162 in Orton starts(although Tebow finished the Chargers game)

They've also faced some of the worst rush defenses in the entire NFL the last few weeks...

So Tim Tebow has single handedly revamped the Broncos running game. I think my work here is done.

You've turned into BBIB. Tebow is your Vick.

has anyone in this thread argued otherwise??

 

[Atlas]

So yeah it is like we weren't running the ball well actually. I do love you guys who have watched Denver twice this year telling me how it is though.

its extremely similar to you having no idea how blocking schemes work, but lecturing me on how different everything is with this "new offense"... pot, meet kettle...

:atlas:

 

[FirstTimer]

Not really. W2B and I are the only ones in here enjoying the moment. The rest of you want to play fortune teller and tell me how it will never work. I'm not predicting anything, just having a good time watching my team play.

Bull.

I've stated repeatedly in here I hope he does well and have enjoyed watching him play.

It's fun. It's different.

The point glen was making about Denver needing time to implement their new running scheme is not valid. The point glen was making about the running game being improved due to Tebow is very valid.

 

[Atlas]

There are more positions on the field than QB and O-line bub.

WR's and TE's either block or run fake go routes on running plays, so nothing really changes for them either...

 

[FirstTimer]

TEs and WRs have to know where to be set on the line in several new formations. New pre snap motion. None of our RBs ran the option in college and have to learn spacing and work and receiving the pitch while running, we saw Jeremiah Johnson fuck it up last night. And Denver has yet to have a game in this offense without an illegal formation penalty.

He ran it at Oregon.

:bunny:

OL, WR, TE, QB, everyone is doing the same things out there. That's why it's completely different.

Johnson played at Oregon and Lance Ball at UMD, so they definitely played in that style of offense... and im sure the other RB's played in the same type of offense's in HS, in fact, i know mcgahee played in an option offense at Central High.... everything else is just a minor nuance (learning to line up differently isn't a hard concept to grasp)...

 

[ZoneBlitz]

in fact, i know mcgahee played in an option offense at Central High....

Thats true, how do you know that? Just curious.

 

[Atlas]

Thats true, how do you know that? Just curious.

one of the guys i coached with in FL was on the staff at Central when McGahee was there...

 

[FirstTimer]

Shouldn't that be a sign that its not the easiest thing to pick up then?

No? It could just be a sign maybe of why he was on the pratice squad for so long? NFL players fuck up a lot....guys who were undrafted and on practice squads more often than others.

Good shit. Where did you coach in florida? I went to high school with McGahee when he was at Miami Springs.

 

[Atlas]

Well last night we fumbled a pitch and had 2 illegal formation penalties at least so they're having a hard time grasping it. I don't know what to tell you coach. I bet some repetition of those plays in practice some more will probably help to curtail it, but that's just me.

they didnt have any penalties like that before Tebow??? cmon glen, every offense has these types of penalties, even Green Bay...

you are over-analyzing the shit out of this "change", b/c when you break everything down to it's simplest form, not much has changed...

and warner mentioned the new red zone package they installed earlier: yea, they've had that package for tebow since day 1, they even talked about it during the preseason games... they are just using it more now...

 

[Atlas]

Good shit. Where did you coach in florida? I went to high school with McGahee when he was at Miami Springs.

St Augustine High, the Bolles School, Plant High, and Gibbs High...

 

[Atlas]

No we didn't.. we had holding calls because the offensive line can't really pass block yet and we had turnovers because Orton would turn it over but the formation penalties and problems cleanly receiving the option pitch are a byproduct of the new offense. And we used the Tebow RZ package not a once during the first give weeks. So I doubt it was part of many walk-throughs.

you have no idea how an NFL practice works... its not like college, where they have a finite amount of time each day to practice... they practice everything they might use in the coming week's game, so of course they practiced the tebow package... what else are they gonna let him do, be the scout team QB?? b/c that's Quinn's jerb...


and i call bullshit on Denver not having an illegal formation called against them with Orton at QB, b/c that shit just happens from time to time...
