Do they though? If I remember correctly, Cole is usually the first one down the field making tackles for the Jets. I don't recall Eric Smith on many tackles and he was the PP. Maybe I just don't remember punts well. Also it can be combatted by coffin cornering a punt or putting high hangtime on it. I don't think the Jets would keep their the punt coverage exactly the same with Tebow there.
Yes, Brad Smith used to make a lot of them. Tebow will have to be a tackler if he's playing that position.
Honestly I don't know where rational people get the idea that Tim Tebow can block, catch or tackle at an NFL level. Usually the people pushing these ideas do it more as a means of denigrating his abilities as a QB rather than because they've seen any evidence to support those crazy ideas.
This. Would make sense on 4th and short. Fake punts or even just the thought of faking it requires a different ST coverage.
Stupid really for Ryan to publicize this. Obviously he is not doing it bc he thinks Tebow is a great blocker. The point is to run some fake punts. This is the kind of ploy where you shouldn't tell teams you're doing it. Just do it.
Tebow’s glad his mom didn’t abort’em So he’ll preach all in earshot to boredom His ilk forbids you screw And would use his fame to Write the constitution’s post mortem
