How to slow Tebow down........

[Soonermagik]

I'm willing to bet OU puts 7 guys in the box and forces Tebow to beat OU with his arm. He's a talented runner and looks to be a decent passer, but he prefers to run.

After watching several games with the Florida they really like to run Tebow and do quick pitches, really some zone read stuff too.

Tebow is a tank, and it will take a lot of guys up front to discourage him from tucking it or pitching it. I'm hoping OU has the athletes to force Tebow to throw more than they want to. If the corners can play a solid game it should really help the front 7 to contain Tebow. Any thoughts?

I thought you were going to say open up a monster truck t-shirt stand.

our OLBs have been pretty good so far this year

i hope Travis Lewis and Keenan Clayton have saved some licks for Tebow

[PhiDeltBeers]

I say have all our defensive players dress up in Devil uni's.

The obvious answer is someone sees what Shawn Eckhardt is up to these days, and if he's still got access to a night stick.

No way that works because of Harvin, Murphy, Thompson, Cooper, Hernandez...

Maybe put a linebacker on him but if you crowd the front too much and put you d-backs on an island, they will get burned. The mobile QB in this offense creates just this mismatch.

Here's a really good article describing the issues the spread creates for defenses, especially if you have the right personnel package (and UF does).

Wow. Thanks!

We've never faced the spread before, so we're not familiar with it at all.

7 guys in the box...are you serious?

You're welcome. The originator of this thread asked what happens when you try and stuff Tebow. You must have a better understanding.

your retorts are nearly tantamount to me replying "Ask Jake Locker what happens when a big mobile quarterback that likes to run like a fullback faces our defense."

all of it is moot.

Maybe Barry Switzer could get all liquored up and go out for a little drive with something in the glove box...

clearly sarcasm is lost on your part.

They don't have sarcasm in Florida. It's the Sunshine State.

[fadada1]

screw it, put all 11 inside the pro hash marks and blitz every down.

Y'know casting aspersions (go ahead, look it up, we'll wait) on one of our coaching legends when the foundations of your school's success were built by a man who went by the nickname of Cheatin' Charley is pretty ridiculous.

Nah, I get it...just had to take a shot at Barry. Had a good friend from my JO tour that was an OU grad from back in the day...he was an unapologetic Barry fan (as a good fan should be).

My guess is we do it how we have for most of the season. Blitz fairly often with players coming from different directions each time. Let the DE's play contain and pursue the QB. We'll have to scheme a little differently for some of Florida's option looks.

You rush him with a "collapse and control" rush versus a speed rush off the corner. Stray in the run lanes and push the pocket, make him throw in the pocket, he's not John Elway.

Tell me more of this so called "spread offense". It sounds unique and original. Maybe Stoops should invest some time into looking into using this offense. Actually I think all the Big 12 schools should take a look at it.
