The problem with McCoy and company is they have their minds set on traditional football.

If they tried to be innovative/creative they might find out defenses would have a hard time defending Tebow.

Check Tebows first 5 starts compared to any QB in the history of the NFL. He has done better than Elway just to name one…p

He has done that trying to play the traditional way imagine if he was playing to his strengths.

Yeah. I agree Denver15. I think Tebow would do alright in a Shanahan type system. Moving the QB around changing the release point, ect.

I don’t buy the 8 in the box excuse for not running high percentage short passes. Reason being if that was truly the case than more teams would run 8 in the box almost nonstop. Regardless if you’re the GB Packers or the Denver Broncos deep vertical passes are not high percentage plays, if that’s the only play that can beat 8 in the box.

I think it still goes back to the O-line getting its but kicked against a physical defensive line. Detroit didn’t have to bring that many people on blitz’s. I think they will see something very similar again this weekend. Better figure it out.

Denver needs to use the same offense scheme as Detroit for the whole game. Stafford would be out of the league if he had to play under center.

Spread them out and Tebow will run over those DB’s if no recievers are open.

Find it hard to believe McCoy cant figure it out.

I miss Shanahan he was an offensive mastermind and he would make Tebow so much better.

McCoy sucks at play calling and game planning.

I agree … the really need to roll out Tebow away from O Franklin the rookie RT protecting his blind spot.

And I agree … 3wr is not enough if its all deep routes … what john lynch was asking for were few step drop plays. And quick hits that will give a receiver confidence. As it stands …we are trying to go deep to get guys out of the box but its not working … gotta adapt in my book. 4 WR and a TE woudl be fantastic. I can talk and talk but thats not my job … But what I do know is that what we are doing aint working so we gotta adapt … thats McCoys job …HE needs to figure it out … because im pretty sure you are not payed all that money for cookie cutter crap. IMO but maybe he knows something I don’t … after all … he’s the professional. TRB

More than one way to do it. Roll him out on bootlegs instead of having him stand there and play stationary target. Defenses tend to breakdown when you move them laterally with spreads or motion. They know they can press him because he isn’t allowed to move until its too late. Every time he rolls out, he pulls most of the defense with him so use it to your advantage. He has hit several throw-back screens for good gains so it will work. Can’t do that every play but short rolls, bootlegs, sprint-outs, receivers in motion, shifts, will all help. Mix things up, don’t just tell him to stand in the pocket when you know they are loading up based on that plan. That is what seems to be missing in the Broncos game plan right now and if it continues, it won’t matter who the QB is. Luck couldn’t win with that game plan.

5 wide could work but Ds will still play press coverage and make tebow beat them they are not giving those easy short passes up

Henry… They cannot run those plays because defenses play press and stack the box to make Tebow beat them deep… Until he can those plays wont be able to be ran efectively

They are adapting the ofense just wanted to point out for those saying they arent… Still have to beat them passing and those passes you mentioned wont work until he proves he can beat them passing

LAX, running 3 WR sets doesn’t help when you don’t leave a check-down. Run the no-huddle out out a full spread with a check-down to a TE or RB and things might get a little better. Do it on 1st Down when the defense isn’t necessarily looking for it and that may help. Run 2 and 3 WR sets with everyone going deep against a Prevent or Nickle and you end up with a QB running around trying to survive or taking off with the football. Not every pass has to be 20 or more yards, sometimes its better to get it to a playmaker in the open and let him do the work. Screens are one way but only one way. There are a lot of others that could be used as well. The whole concept of the Spread Option is to make you defend the entire field and every offensive player every play. When you bunch up, it is much easier to keep you in check.
