The BIG question: Can we stop Tim Tebow?

[oldunclemark]

Lets get right down on it.. Mark Sanchez may be booed off the field Sunday..

..and then we face Tim Tebow... and his 'Good Book' playbook.....something we have never seen

...does anyone know the Pagano-style 'D's history against Tebow if any......

..We havent stopped the run well since the turn of the century........

....who's confident we can shackle the Lord's field general and his read option brand of religon?

[Nobody]

They don't have weapons for him to throw or hand off to. Stack the box, make him throw.

Can we do that succesfully....others have tried

[WSO]

Just hope it doesn't come down to a last drive for the Jets...

[Imped]

Yes we can.

[JoKeR]

You mean we haven't had a entire season in which we had a high ranking run D? Because there's been plenty of games over the years where the run D was decent to very good. A 1 dimensional running QB does not scare me, especially when we have a QB that can run just as well but can throw 10x better. Yes we can stop Tebow or we can just out produce him.

[Slick_Rick]

I think we could match up quite well against Tim. He hasn't really proven that he can be a threat with his arm. If it were up to me, I would run more contain on the edges. With Mathis out, I wouldn't want to straight blitz Tebow. I think the Kavell Conner should blitz, with Angerer or Freeman spying. As long as we set the edges and plug up the holes, I think we could stop him. Defenses against Tebow require discipline. Don't over run things, play what you see. The CBs can contain their receivers. The wild card to me is Dustin Keller.

[JoKeR]

Just create a half circle around the LOS and dare him to throw or run.

[SLILLINGTON10]

if tebow comes in it will be with very little reps/preperation during the week. and if its close i think the jets don't want the ball in luck's hands more than we don't want the ball in tebows.

[Indyfan4life]

Tebow made some good throws Monday that should of been caught. If he has time to throw the ball, then he will.

[Tark The Shark]

we have stopped Vince Young when he was with the Titans, we can do it against Tebow

[The Lucky Neck Beard]

well lets break down the "Tebow" teams...

On one hand you have the Broncos last year... Strong Defense, Okay Recievers, and an above average RB, and an above average Oline. They also had a redesigned play book to play to Tebows strengths.

On the other hand you have the Jets... Their D is hurting, their WR are below average or green, their running situation is poor. Who know if they could use him as well as the Broncos did...

I just hope that either QB brings their <50% accuracy with them...

[Gonzo]

We haven't blocked any punts this year anyway. I don't see the Jets top punt protector making much of a difference.

[BleedingBlue]

Yes. Teebow only

..and then we face Tim Tebow... and his 'Good Book' playbook.....something we have never seen

His good book playbook only fills one column on his wristband (theres room for three)

So don't count on him coming in and taking over. They need to start him and get him reps before he comes in. When they start him they'll do it right.

try 1000000000x better

[JoKeR]

try 1000000000x better

Lol, well put it this way, it's a fullback that can barely pass vs a very good QB that can run like the fullback.

[ColtsFTW]

They don't have weapons for him to throw or hand off to. Stack the box, make him throw.

I have a new formation against Tebow. Sit your CBs and add 2 more DTs or LBs. lol

[BOTT]

tebow is a turd

[Warhawk]

Yes.

Next question?

[Qwiz]

No...probably not.

[Nobody]

Can we do that succesfully....others have tried

When he was in Denver with Demarius Thomas and Decker. Now he has a worse OL, running game, and receivers.

[Andy]

Stop a backup QB, who plays 10 times a game.... yeah, we'll stop him.

[Jason_]

Stop a backup QB, who plays 10 times a game.... yeah, we'll stop him.

well will wonders never cease...i agree lol

[oldunclemark]

I hope you're right....because Sanchez.....just isnt playing well at all and except for Keller..he doesn't have quality receivers to help him break out

[oldunclemark]

Stop a backup QB, who plays 10 times a game.... yeah, we'll stop him.

Can you guarantee me he will play only 10 plays...??

Call Rex.

[oldunclemark]

tebow is a turd

You must have missed last year's Pitt-Denver playoff game.

You have to take Tebow seriously or God will strike you down..

[oldunclemark]

Yes we can.

Thank you, President Obama...

Stick with the Colts. Mr. President. We got our stimulus package in the last draft.

[SilentHill]

Tebow and Sanchez can throw at the same level, which is poor. I'm not worried unless they have the 3rd string QB under center.

[oldunclemark]

But Tebow can run.....and stopping the run is not our specialty...

..you must prepare for the read option like its the Gospel according to Urban Meyer

[chad72]

Do not stack the box. Play him like the Pats did. Have your front seven play good containment to the outside of the D-line on either side, and force him to make reads to throw inside zones, which is when he makes a gazillion mistakes or runs into a bunch of coverage sacks. Give him one-on-one coverage and he thrives throwing against it more. Give him different zone looks.

Get a lead by 2 TDs and play zone, that will make life real difficult for Tebow.

[USAFHoosier]

As many have said their line, backs, and receivers are worse than what he had in denver. Im more worried about sanchez playing well and beating us than Tebow. Dont get me worng he is a good football player just not a QB.

[GoColts8818]

We may not have too the Jets may do it for us they see determined to make Sanchez their QB no matter what.

[Qwiz]

Yes, unfortunately. If they lose this week they will learn their lesson.

sounds good to me

[Poster X]

I hope the Jets keep doing what they have been doing, and using both Mark "don't call me dirty" Sanchez and Tim Tebow. That way we won't have to worry about stopping them... they will do that themselves.

[Duolian]

The Jets are very much like Denver was when he took over. Beaten down, insecure, lacking confidence. It's the kind of situation he excels at. If he gets the keys, I would expect him to give the entire team a burst of energy. For that reason alone, I wouldn't laugh his presence off as some kind of joke.

[Corndog]

Can the Colts stop Tebow from scoring TDs? Yeah. Can the Colts actually stop Tebowmania? No.

That's what I'm saying' duo.....tell 'em

Up here../.we laughed when Tebow faced the Bears last year...

...we werent laughing after 4 quarters.

He's a freak....and when a team has no hope and is fumbling and stumbling....

........he can make a crazy play .....fire up the crowd....and help that team

[BOTT]

yeah, i saw a pitt team decimated by injuries and demaryius thomas win the game for denver. trust me, if there was a god he would have struck me down a long time ago...

[Gonzo]

Can the Colts stop Tebow from scoring TDs? Yeah. Can the Colts actually stop Tebowmania? No.

When the nuclear holocaust finally arrives the only survivors will be the cockroaches and Tebowmania.
