Turner Lauds Tebow, Miller

Week 12 presents Norv Turner with the same two challenges every opposing head coach now faces when preparing to play the Broncos.

On defense, limit quarterback Tim Tebow’s ability to extend plays.

On offense, keep linebacker Von Miller out of your backfield.

Easier said than done.

“We’ve played against (Tebow) twice now, and the impression he’s made I think with our guys is that you have to work to get him and then get him on the ground,” Turner said in a conference call Wednesday. “He’s an elusive runner, and he’s a very big, strong guy, so you have to do a good job of staying alive, and everyone’s got to rally to the ball.”

Rivers, Turner Talk Trip to Denver

After preparing for an uncommon opponent in the Packers — a team they hadn’t faced in 4 years –- the Denver Broncos are now getting set for a meeting with a squad they’re very familiar with.

The division-rival San Diego Chargers travel to Denver Sunday and they enter the contest off to a hot start, boasting a 3-1 record.

“It’s definitely a better first quarter than we’ve had in the past years,” quarterback Philip Rivers said in a conference call earlier. “We still have to keep getting better. We certainly haven’t played our best yet, but it is nice to be winning as we are improving.”

Tim Tebow attracts a crowd wherever he goes.

Whether he’s in Arizona — where the away crowd chanted his name even though he spent the game on the sidelines holding a clipboard — or at INVESCO Field at Mile High, you can bet the eyes of thousands are trained on the rookie quarterback.

With two NFL starts under his belt, Tebow will have another group of observers leading up to this weekend’s home game against the Chargers. San Diego’s coaching staff will devote a fair share of their week dissecting game tape of Tebow as they develop their game plan.

“I think we have an advantage over what Houston had,” Chargers Head Coach Norv Turner said in a Wednesday conference call.
