There's a world between biting too early (and giving reasons to future opponents to call trick plays) and back pedaling several seconds after it has become clear it's a plain run.

Again, great signing, great addition. Just saying he's not gonna make plays against the run and it might create some frustrating situations, like conceding a 3rd and 9 on an outside run. That's something guys like Kyle Fuller or Moreland at very good at.

That’s a pretty long reach based off of one play.

That's actually 2 full games where he consistently was not going for any kind of frontal contact and consistently looked hesitant when he was in position to make the tackle.
Granted, not a full season, not his full career, can't tell how much of it is coaching, but that's something to keep an eye on, and from what I saw so far that's the only knock on him.

I don't think anybody has every questioned Tebow's drive or ability to lift heavy weights and put them down.

I would bet plenty of corners shy away from contact at times. They're not the biggest dudes out there and they don't get paid for hitting.

They also often don't reach contract incentives sitting on sidelines injured from trying to be LBs. A corner has to tackle, he doesn't have to hit. Huge difference.

Accurate. Just something I've never been a fan of. And, one of the reasons I liked Breeland, agressive against screens and outside runs.
Don't care about big hits. But love to see a DB dive underneath a block and wrap a RB's ankles. I'm aware this is not their main job, and not the most important though.

And how do we know Tebow won't be a good ST player? Don't think anyone expects him to be #1 TE, but nothing says he can't make the team as depth.

If he makes the team as a starter at TE that would be an indictment on all the other natural TE's on the roster.

You guys are acting like age isn't a thing. His ceiling as a 34yo player is lower than the ceilings of the younger TE's.

Sure he doesn't have the wear and tear most 34 yo's do, but rare is the player who gets better in their 30's.

I dont think Tebow would make an NFL roster but Jaguars are a bit differently run.

I could see a package where he is in for 10 or so snaps a game.

Short yardage and 2 pt conversions = he could be wildcat, QB or decoy .. move him from outside to inside and see if D shifts etc

Im convinced a coach soon will come up with a specialized short yardage/2 pt conversions unit with someone like Tebow or Saints Hill and go for it every single time for 2 points.

They will have a 85% or so conversions rate for short yard and 2 pts tries.

20 years from now all teams will have a special short yardage unit.

Here is a 20 minute interview with Terry McLaurin. Love this guy's attitude, intelligence and savvy answers. There was as little fluff as you can get in an off season interview with some nuggets, like Fitz texting him about routes, that make it well worth the watch, especially when insomnia kicks

This was an excellent interview. Terry McLaurin is a very impressive young man. I"m glad he's on our side.

Definitely

[Ohioskins]

While Haskins has left an understandably bitter taste in the mouth of Skins fans, most of the OSU players are pretty high caliber persons as demonstrated by Terry and Chase and, soon to be, Chris Samuels..

[Ohioskins]

Woops, wrong Samuels.

[FrenchSkin]

Lot of speculation, but still a good read IMO.
Didn't know part of the money loaned to Dan for the buy out came directly from the NFL.

Catchy title, but good column : Dan Snyder could be forced out by NFL if no stadium deal is reached
