For most of his rookie season, Tim Tebow has had to rely on mental reps during the practice week with Kyle Orton taking a majority of the real snaps with the first-team offense.
That changed Wednesday with Orton limited in practice by injured ribs. Interim Head Coach Eric Studesville said Tebow took the majority of the first-team reps as he and Brady Quinn helped get the offense ready for Sunday’s game in Oakland.
“I think just getting more opportunities out there — more reps — that’s a lot of fun for me,” Tebow said. “That’s a chance to really work and improve and learn this offense even more. If I get an opportunity on Sunday, that’ll be exciting as well.”
Both Studesville and Offensive Coordinator Mike McCoy said they were pleased with Tebow’s practice showing, expressing confidence in the 2010 first-round pick, who has not seen extended snaps in a game since the preseason.
“He did a nice job in practice yesterday,” McCoy said. “He went in there and ran the huddle, did a nice job throwing the football and going through alert systems and everything else in the run game.”
But that doesn’t mean Orton — who has started 28 of the team’s past 29 games — won’t be ready to play Sunday.
Studesville said Orton could thereotically start without taking many — or any — practice reps this week, but he will wait until later in the week to make a decision. The coach said the starter will continue to get treatment on the ribs and rest as much as possible. McCoy said he is planning as if Orton, who was limited again in Thursday’s session, will play.
Orton hurt the ribs in Sunday’s game in Arizona. Tebow warmed up, but the sixth-year signal caller didn’t miss a snap. That’s an example of Orton’s toughness that has Brandon Lloyd believing the banged-up quarterback will be ready to go on Sunday.
“If Kyle can walk, he will play,” Lloyd said. “You really admire that because of the sacrifice and sacrificing his body for the betterment of the team.”
Tebow said he didn’t believe the game plan heading into Sunday’s rematch with the Raiders would change based on who was under center. Until Orton’s status becomes more clear, the rookie is happy to take advantage of his opportunity.
After consistently talking about being ready for any situation, Tebow said his approach has paid off now that he is spending more time in practice working on the Broncos offense than running the scout team.
“I think just by trying to study hard all year and be ready for any opportunity helps,” Tebow said. “Now, getting to go out there and physically do it helps a lot.”
A day after seven Broncos missed practice, five of them returned for Thursday’s workout.
Brandon Lloyd (calf) returned to full participation after classifying Wednesday as “a rest day.” Kevin Alexander (ankle), David Bruton (ribs), Matt Prater (right groin) and Marcus Thomas (ankle) practiced on a limited basis.
Studesville said he is hopeful about Prater’s progress but indicated the team won’t decide whether to keep two kickers on the active roster heading into Sunday’s game until later in the week. The Broncos used recently signed Steven Hauschka in Week 14 with Prater out of action.
“(Prater) is going to kick today,” Studesville said. “We are going to get him out there and kick the ball a little bit today and get him going and see where we are with that.”
Brian Dawkins (knee) and Demaryius Thomas (ankle) missed practice for the second straight day, and Jamal Williams (non-injury) also got the workout off.
Darcel McBath (quadricep) went from full participation on Wednesday to limited participation on Thursday.
Eric Decker (foot) and Spencer Larsen (hamstring) practiced fully for the second straight day.
Oakland also got back several players on Thursday with LB Rolando McClain (foot) being the only Raider to miss practice.
DB Nnamdi Asomugha (ankle), WR Johnnie Lee Higgins (ankle), DT Richard Seymour (knee), QB Kyle Boller (quadricep), S Hiram Eugene (ribs) and WR Nick Miller (ankle) were all limited in practice. T Khalif Barnes (back), S Tyvon Branch (shoulder), LB Travis Goethel (knee), CB Chris Johnson and TE Zach Miller fully participated in the session.

On black Sunday, as we were driving to Invesco, 850 was talking about ‘rivalries’ and whether or not they still exist. An argument was made (in summary) that they do not because of the free agency era. That most players aren’t around long enough to develop that sense of rivalry!
I have come to a conclusion (opinion really. Haha), especially after reading alot of these posts, that it is in fact a lost “art” in the NFL. Kinda like the crackdown on hits, but that’s a topic for another day.
Do players like Jabar Gaffney, Jamal Williams and Brian Dawkins really “hate the raiders”? Especially when compared to players like Elway, The Meck, TJ and even Shanny (to an extent)!
I would venture to say a big portion of the newer generation of fans will truely miss out on the sense of rivalry. Unless this team can start hating some black and silver, good for nothing, can’t believe Woody dressed up as a fan, Jamarcus Russell drafting…….remember Black Sunday. I h a t e the Raiders.
GO BRONCOS!!!
Wait wat? people love Rivers throwing motion? Thats a shocker. Ive always used him as a comparison for Tebow (in throwing motion only) … Because the criticized rivers throwing motion (not as bad as they did tebows) and he has made it work and been a success…and his throwing motion resembles and epileptic seizure lol. Tebow will be fine with his throwing motion, if it aint broke don’t fix it….it has worked very well so far…I know NFL players are faster and blah blah blah but we may be giving em way to much credit and Tebow way to little. Besides…let him play…if its an actual problem in a game…then keep working on fixing it….but we are yet to see him in a game so we dont know…things like this is why we need to see him start…..
sndvl, thanks for that opinion of yours on rivalries, it holds a lot of water.
Since this is Friday and it’s one of the less visited blog day of the week, I should be able to post up some stuff about how bad we really are as reported by Klis without offending too many:
With the 2010 Broncos, it’s already universally agreed that they’re bad. Really, really bad. What has to be asked is: Are they among the worst Broncos teams of all time?
When the entire Josh McDaniels era, on and off the field, is put into context, it’s not a stretch to argue that if they’re not the worst team in franchise history, today’s Broncos team has gone lower than any previous lowest point.
“It has,” said former star linebacker Karl Mecklenburg, who played on three Super Bowl teams, as well as one 5-11 clunker in 1990. “You look at what’s gone on, and it’s spiraled downhill. And it continues to spiral downhill.”
The Broncos are 3-10, tied for third-worst in the league. They are 5-18 since Nov. 1 a year ago. Only the perennially abysmal Detroit Lions have posted a worse record over that stretch, 4-19.
“Right now is what hurts the most,” Bailey said. “This late in my career, I don’t expect things like this.”
Salt Lake Tribune reports: Even Lloyd says it’s Tebow time WOW!!!!
The debate over whether Tim Tebow is ready for this might just be moot.
Tebow is getting more snaps at practice with starter Kyle Orton nursing bruised ribs and the rookie might even get his first extended action of the season — if not his first start — when the Denver Broncos visit Oakland this weekend.
Offensive coordinator Mike McCoy said he thought Orton would be ready by Sunday, but some teammates weren’t so sure.
Deep threat Brandon Lloyd suggested Tebow Time is close at hand.
“It’s something that’s going to happen. It’s unfortunate that Kyle is banged up now. But Tebow playing is inevitable and so it’s better now than maybe the last game of the season,” Lloyd said. “I think it will be good for him and be good to ease the fans’ minds. It will be good to ease all the players’ minds of how well he can play in game-time situations.”
Yeah 1nOnlyTRB I agree that Tebow will be just fine. Let him do what he does best….. Work hard, play hard, and win games. He will make his mistakes and learn from them. Just like he did in preseason games (though a little different from regular season) nonetheless he learned and moved forward.
Hey even if Tebow comes in and dosen’t do so good(anybody with any common sense wouldn’t expect him to carry the team now)he still gets experience,even if he throws some picks,gets sacked,or fumbles,we shouldn’t come down hard on him.He needs to get valuable experience that you can only get in real game situations,I think he is ready!!!!!!!!!!!
Even if we lose the last 3,so what we will lose them with Orton starting anyway,so get the kid in there already!!!!!!!
Denver 13 Oakland 28
This is Legwold reporting on Martindale’s upbeat take on the debacle:
Facing a pile of troubling numbers — the Broncos’ defense is on pace to surrender at least 400 points for the third time in the last four seasons — and a pile of injuries in his depth chart, Broncos defensive coordinator Don Martindale played a little offense in support of his guys Wednesday.
“I know one thing, there is no quit in that room,” Martindale said.
The Broncos surrendered 211 yards rushing to Arizona on Sunday. The Cardinals, who entered the game as one of the worst teams in the league running the ball, had 113 yards rushing in the fourth quarter alone.
Denver had several missed tackles in the quarter as Cardinals running back Tim Hightower scored two rushing touchdowns less than three minutes apart, the second on a 35-yard run.
Martindale said the defense’s execution can be questioned at times in this year’s extended struggles, but the veteran coach continued to defend his players’ effort on the field.
“Now, we know what happened in the fourth quarter in Arizona,” Martindale said. “It’s already been talked about, but the last seven out of eight quarters we’ve played pretty good defense.
“That’s one thing that you can’t argue, when you see them out on the field, how hard they’ve been playing. That’s what we’re building off of. I know the points, it’s already been documented. But we’ve given up three touchdowns defensively in the last two games, two of those in the fourth quarter in Arizona, and that stinks. Nobody knows that more than me.
“But for us to keep turning them away after the turnovers in Arizona, I was pleased with their effort.”
“There is no quit in that room”.
“The last seven out of eight quarters we’ve played pretty good defense”.
“How hard they’ve been playing”.
“Pleased with their effort”.
One thing is for certain, if we keep a delusional man like that in control of our D it won’t matter much who we get at GM and HC.
This brings back the point I was trying to make yesterday that we need to start running this team more like a business. Specially on the field because doing it the way we have been doing it of late which is being so nice and respective of everybody around here ever since we have gotten rid of all the “rotten apples” and have mainly “high character gentlemen” left has resulted on us being ran over by just about everyone, being humiliated by many, having allowed the history books to be broken at our expense multiple times and becoming the laughing stock of the league.
Why? Partly because the unfortunate truth of the matter is; in business, nice people always finish last.
Just like in the front office where you need to be agressive and stay shrewdly in front of everybody to give yourself a shot at being competitive, like the need to actively pursue currently available individuals for the GM and HC position NOW, and not think for a minute how it will hurt Xanders’ or Studs’ feelings, we need to have the same attitude on the field where we should play whoever cares to give us 120% right now regardless of how many starters’ feelings it will hurt to sit their arses down for the rest of the season.
I mean I keep hearing coaches telling us at times like these we need to rely on our veteran leaders to get us through these rough times, to which I say, CRAPOLA, the leaders have had their shots, they have failed miserably other than Bailey, who cares to watch a stupid season already down the drain with a bunch of overpaid so called leaders who are doing nothing but thinking about their vacations already? NO ONE , that’s who, what I want is to see the hungry young men we have chosen to be on this team because we thought they were going to be the players of the future for us play NOW and they will do so with an ATTITUDE because they are HUNGRY, they are dying to go out there and have a shot at showing whoever cares to find out what they are all about. That would bring in the INTENSITY that we all care to see on Sundays, who gives a darn if we keep losing, hello, we are now losing with our so called leaders and it is some of the most boring lackluster performances I have ever have had the displeasure to witness. losing with the kids making all kinds of mistake but giving it their all would be a much nicer way to finish the season, not to mention how much smarter it would make everyone about what we really have on this roster for next season.
The time as come for this entire organization to be business like and act accordingly doing what’s right for the betterment of our team, not just walking on glass trying to not hurt anyone’s feelings. I got news for you, that attitude will never make anyone a champion here again, just watch what happens Sunday when the Raiders won’t give a rat’s rear end about anybody’s feelings. I’m having this horrible feeling that we will look like a troupe of ballet dancers going up againts a bunch of blood thirsty Lions. Until we change the complete attitude and philosophy of this team from top to bottom, other teams will see a nice easy meal served on a platter each time they will have us on their schedule.
WE SCARE NO ONE BECAUSE THERE IS NO ONE TO FEAR.
OUR FRONT 7 IS LIKE A WELCOME MAT.
This season is even worse than the one when Elway retired, TDs HOF career came to an intercepting/torn up knee halt, Dale Carter busting 6-10 finish. So sad since we were all led to believe otherwise!
BFE,
Thats a true wow…I mean, even the players aren’t in denial, they know the season has been lost for a while, and that the team drafted a young QB for a reason. If theres a chance he will be starting next year, it makes sense to them and him that he should get as much experience and chemistry as he can. Glad to hear that. Its inevitable he says. Yes, yes it is. Shoulda started last week. So he had a game under his wing before Black Hole. A terrible team at that…We might have won….
They were all young once and at a point in time, Im sure they were put in the game more to see what they had in a bad season. NFL is a Cycle. And I don’t expect Tebow to be Michael Vick from day one (I say this because their play is similiar, dual threat) but I can take growing pains. Watching us get THRASHED with veterans at the helm to me is just unacceptable…They may be numb to all this, but I think the young guys are still having fun. And Im not question all the old guys passion for the game cuz some of them are still playing at a high level Champ, DJ, etc…
ps: seen alot of drives end that if Orton could scramble, woulda been a first down. Teams know to play the pass more, especially our deep ball and that has hurt us the last two games…especially orton. We will see how much they will play off with a QB that can take off. Also I think for tebow we should revive more of our dink and dunk system for last year. Ease him in.
That was a long read Baylin,
I do agree with Wink to an extent…the past two games the turnover margin has been ridiculously scued and in the first half we held back AZ alot after like 5 turnovers. This D is far from good but their offense does them no favors. Haven’t done em any favors all year with the 3 and outs. Not to mention with the lack of a running game…when they actually do score…fast and through the air. No TOP…Defense gotta go back out. No doubt we could be more talented on Defense and have a better DC like Nolan. and fresh young legs out there but the O doesnt help.
As far as a team full of nice guys after we got rid of the “cancers”…Whether we all like it or not, it is a know fact that 90 percent of the time the most talented players and ones that play with intensity and attitude…..are the knuckle heads…All i am gonna say is all our cancers became cancers when McD came into power…before that, we only had to deal with them being diva like at times but when he came into power…all of a sudden they were “poisoning” the locker room…. YEAA RIGHT. My boy coulda been a career broncos
lol
You dont ship of knuckle heads…you discipline em and restrict their potential to do something dumb off field and if that doesnt work…then u cut ties…But its not just the knuckleheads on this team of nice guys that lack discipline…its almost everyone. And this is discipline in the sense of how they play the game…too many mental errors,dumb stuff and overall just shooting self in foot. No game day discipline at all
Marshall has the IQ of a celery stalk, he will always get in some kind of trouble, that’s in his DNA, no win situation, there is a big difference between having smart football players with nasty attitudes and having dumb talented football arses. Marshall gone is the best thing McD did (I’ll have to wait on Tebow). Not trying to argue Marshall here but you haven’t been able to let go of him once this year, so once in a while I will throw a get over it message even so you always say you never wil, LOL. Just making sure you know I’m not totally brain dead about it.
I, like most, would love to see Tebow play. Even this week in that venue. When the going gets tough, the Tebow gets tougher. But regardless of if and when he does play, we would have a terrible defense.
Therefore, don’t expect a different outcome. Maybe the score will be closer, but with no pass rush, no run stopping D line, and poor overall defensive play, not even Elway in his prime could win Sunday.
Go Broncos in 2011! Can’t wait for the OFFSEASON!
sndvl: I remember hearing that on 850 while driving to the stadium too. It makes perfect sense to beleive that the players have no sense of rivalry. Some players came to my sister’s school recently and students were allowed to ask the players some questions. Imagine a young child asking a player “How long have the Broncos been around?” and my sister had to covertly whisper in his ear “51 years”. Otherwise 3 players could not answer that question. Other questions were answered in a similar fashion. It seems to me that without knowing the history of the team one can never realize the weight of a rivalry other than I hope they know that we’re in the same division.
It should also be mentioned that when we’ve had the most hate is when one team is good and the other is at least competitive. Even in the mid 70s when the raiders were constantly at the top of the division I can remember seeing some very competitive games.
Bay: I agree. Our veteran “leaders” have not been effective in that respect. With that in mind ALL Bronco fans should just buckle in for the long haul and expect some significant changes on our roster. This is going to take at least a couple more years IMO.
Its not the guys with an attitude that always make plays, its the leaders. And to go with the business themed memo above lol, to reach a higher level of play this team need leaders. A great example are the Brian Dawkins when he was in Philly and at his peak, or a Ray Lewis. If this team is going to build on something we need people to step and be leaders. Our high character players will respond to things better if there is a true leader on the field on both sides of the ball. A leader can be the catalyst that changes this team around. I disagree that these players are nice They just need something to push them. Could be Tebow but we need someone on defense to get hungry to go out and get some because its now or never. We haven’t had a true hungry defense in a long while (Lynch, Wilson). Leaders are what make organizations work. Changing defensive coordinators every year is not helping and reworking another front office is going to slow the process. I just hope that whatever happens we get someone who is ready to step and put this defense on their back. I wish DJ would a little more hes one of our best but he needs to take another step and put Denver on his back, and if not DJ someone else either way we need it.
If you look at most good tough nosed defenses in this league they have someone with a (I want the ball now, or I’m gonna bust you up when you touch it) attitude at all 3 levels D-line, LB, and DB. We don’t have that on all 3 levels. We do have alot of good talkers who can give a great speech.
I look at the Saints D and they have guys who wanna hit you and force turnovers! Same with the Steelers, Ravens, and a few others.
I sure hope Decker gets more chances..I know he fumbled in AZ last week but i love his enthusiasm and he seems to be trying real hard out there. I like players like that, that “leave it all on the field”.
Not to mention the boost our kick off returns have gotten. Come on Deck – keep pushing man.
We need NEW leaders, even DJ has been on a serious downslide since the alleged DUI and has never been a true leader anyway, let’s say like Al Wilson. You can’t just lead with your play, like Bailey and DJ, you must also lead with your voice and entire attitude, and we now have no leaders anywhere, D or O, time to look elsewhere like starting with Tebow and co. A near complete rebuild is an absolute necessity now, the many years of applying band aids have failed miserably.
Bay I think this might be a first, at this point a complete rebuild is necessary. I just hope that the fans and management give the next guy the chance that he needs to do what needs to be done.
Since we have fallen to lows arguably never seen before in this franchise, at least back to the 1963/64 years, it seems evident that the only way out is to start over, what is going on here now is permeating everywhere and everyone, it’s like a stench that won’t go away, and like Meck said, it’s spiralled downhill and it keeps on spiralling downhill. Where is the darn clean up crew, LOL.
Yep Champ wants to see Tebow as well bc he knows Tebow’s potential!!
“I think he can take on anything thrown at him,” cornerback Champ Bailey said. “He’s a guy (who) has seen a lot, especially through his college days. I think everybody is a little anxious to see what he does in the league.”
I don’t know how patient the fans will be in general about rebuilding, but after the decimation that McD has inflicted on our team I personally will give the new regime the patience necessary as long as baby steps in the right direction are taken over and over with emphasis on rebuilding this team from bottom up and in the proper order.
The solid house building/ team building process:
Pick yourself a good general contractor/ Field general QB.
Build a good foundation/ solid trenches both sides of the ball.
Brace up good supporting beams/ solid LB’s and running game.
Put up good frame work around it/ solid safeties and TE’s
Do a nice finishing job/ good CB’s and WR’s
And top it off with a solid roof/ ST, and you got yourself a nice sound place to live in for years to come.
Of course this is easier said than done and not really realistic considering players availibility in the draft and FA and what not but it is a chart that should always be a guideline nonetheless in my opinion. Anyhow if I was lucky enought to own a team that’s how I would want my GM and HC to proceed.
ya, with tebow you know we have an instant vocal leader on offense, and at the most pivotal position. what we need is a few like him on defense!! thats why ive been saying for years now, and i noticed bay made mention also, that we have been missing that leader since the departure of al wilson. starting tebow will be a HUGE step in the right direction IMO. he is the field general we have been missing on offense since elway! and before you all freak out on me, im not comparing him to elway in any sense other than his ability to lead. i personally dont think our offense is going to need a whole lot of revamping for next season. lendale will be back(power back that weve been missing), and our O line will have a year under their belt which i think will go a long way to improving our O on the whole. plus if tebow starts the pass protection doesnt have to be as perfect as it does for kyle…. tebow can scramble remember!
if we can find a pass catching TE we will be dangerous on Offense. it all comes down to the D in my opinion. if we can find a way to get a defense together, and a coordinator that will stick around for more than a season then i believe in 2012 (assuming there isnt a lock out next year) we could be competitive again! thats my hope
TEBOW TEBOW TEBOW…GRUDEN GRUDEN GRUDEN
Offense wins games, Defense wins championships.
ps… all i want for Christmas at this point is to bring back the orange!!
I agree bay but something is very important. The fact that the new regime must above all else conduct itself in a manner representing the Broncos organization. With class, transparent communication and moves that maybe not all of us agree with but make sense towards building that great thing you mentioned in your last post. For example, letting Champ go for draft picks used for defense, that is something not everyone would agree with but makes sense and most of us could get behind. In the end if the general consensus is that what is being done is for the betterment of the TEAM we would all ultimately get behind and understand it will take 2 to 3 years to get out of the acute case of McDanielitis Footballosa we are suffering.
Even if Bowlen asks the league to bring back the orange before April, we won’t be allowed to wear it until 2012, other than twice a year next season. It will be two more navy blue Christmas’s.
Thanks FTR, I remember that as it was yesterday. LMAO even today. The look on her face when she saw the black hole. She really thought those fans are evil because of there costumers. I even told her about Al Davis and how he operates through fear and intimidation. And I also told her about The Al Davis and Shanahan contract conflicts. Her reply, It figures.
McDanielitis, LMAO… It just hurts reading it.
yup.. the orange could be back just in time for our resurgence!!
That’s hopeful thinking that we could assemble a D in just a year to be able to compete in 2012, but I guess hope is what we are left with to ride on…
Luckily it is curable. Just takes time and we are in Intensive Care bordering on dead.
Footballosa……that is great!!!! Lmao
BFE , The Colorado Springs Gazzette wrote that very thing of what Lloyd said. Lloyd also, saying that it`s gonna happen but when on Tim Tebow Starting. And ya Send those FTR`s to BF Egypt! Haha!
well, that would give us the next 2 drafts and free agency periods to add some talent. with a good GM that has an eye for talent that shouldnt be out of the realm of possibility. but i think it all hinges on our next DC. i think its safe to say Wink will prob NOT be our DC at the start of next season.
Sndvl, You hit the nail on the head on rivalries. It`s just not the same today. Big bummer I think.
Radrhadr- that’s what they call proof in the pudding.
The story of your sister at school is just a shame. I mean, I would have to believe at least one of those players was on the roster last season. 50th anniversary throwbacks and all. Eeeesh.
Watching Shanny’s conference about benching McNabb. Man, this dude has class!
Interesting article on nfl.com about Tebow and Orton.
He may have class, but he’s got problems too, I hear Mcnabb’s teammates are p’od saying McNabb is being made a scapegoat, talk about losing your locker room… Grossman the starter, really? Just because Shanny’s son Kyle had him in Houston makes it a better choice than McNabb? I am miffed about this one. Good luck Shanny, Haynesworth suspended for the rest of the season by the team, McNabb benched, he is not making too many friends there, them Redskins fans are a lot tougher with their team than we are, better watch your step or you might be one of the shortest HC job following a 14 year one, just saying.
Did Shanahan say something other than, ” I think it gives us the best chance to win.” Cause that line aint class its a cop out…
yea yea bay…i never said any names…for all you know I coulda been talking about sheffler…tsk tsk bay for you to jump to conclusions…thats so unlike you LOL … I shall never be over it and you shall never agree with me on that topic….yup…all is right in the world lmao…
One thing that has been said here, that i really like, is in regards to the terminology that coaches all seem to be using right now. Damn, how I miss the Parcell style coaches. They told the media off and spoke from the heart not premeditated, HR laced make everyone happy, etc. Listening to Shanahan talk for over 13 years, and then being stuck with McDaniels has made us all a little weak, I believe in regards to hearing the brutal honesty.
I have noticed a trend on here about it and I am glad that I am not the only one, who is tired of it. I already know what the coaches are going to say about the game before they do, including players… Heck at least with Cutler I could make an over/under side bet with my friends about how many uhs and you knows he will say.
RE: Rivalries
Players come and go, but the (real) fans are there forever so the rivalries remain.
GO BRONCOS!!!
“YEAA RIGHT. My boy coulda been a career broncos lol”
You never said any name? Right, haha.
Steve, yeah, on the surface our leadership acts as if we are the most caring and respectful individuals on the planet but that attitude is obviously not winning us many games and was part of my point in my super lenghty 8:14am post.
….I have many boys
lol
I liek how the front page picture for opportunity under center is tebow, but the blogs own is Orton…Home pages own makes more sense…looking like orton might be a game time decision but if he finished a game right after hurting his ribs…dunno why he won’t play sunday, not unless the coach is looking for a reason…a cop out, so he won’t have to “hurt” ortons feelings…. BLAH lol
On a side note, I hear theres gonna be a monsoon in oakland…wowsers…Better reason to play tebow…scramble all day cuz the winds and rain will be trecherous…besides…Tebow has a stronger arm…according to Madden 11 LOL .. which is probably correct cuz orton has a noodle arm…which is more noodle now that its tired from throwing all year…sure we now know he can throw a deep ball…but bombs and bullets are 2 different things…besides..his bombs take their time in the air…wind will just blow it off course lol…PLAY TEBOW!!!! ok, im done lol
The weather report could have a profound effect on the high scores already posted, for once I decided to post mine early this week and it might of been a mistake…
yup…it will have an effect…but luckily i didn’t put too high a score…besides if there are mad turn overs and missed tackles it can get pretty high still lol
Not too high a score? LOL, you have 57 points total, I got 55 and I think mine might be too high, we could both be screwed, LOL.
