Tim Tebow, Mic'd Up: An Instant Classic

For those of you that were able to watch tonight's NFL Replay, followed by Sound FX, on NFL Network, well you were in for a treat. If you missed it, Sound FX can be seen over at NFL.Com. IF you saw it, or end up watching it, what were YOUR favorite parts?
My favorite part had to be Jeremiah Johnson, screaming like a schoolgirl after the Marion Barber fumble in Overtime. He slapped Tebow on the shoulder pad and screamed,
"I told you Tebow, I told ya!"
Tebow, calm and cool as a cucumber, grabs his helmet and walks onto the field, prepared to crush the playoff hopes of the Bears.
Another thing that impressed me was Tebow's calming influence in the huddle. At one point, during the first half, Tebow comes into the huddle and tells his offense,
"Let's just focus on one first down, find a way to get one first down, we'll get the MO goin."
That was great.
After a hard shot from Brian Urlacher, Tebow is asked by quarterback coach Adam Gase if he is OK. Tebow's answer -
"I'm fine, it didn't phase me at all. I'm fine. He's hurtin' more than I am."
There are plenty of great parts - what were your favorites?

I liked when he told the QB coach not to worry, they'd figure it out.
I like the SoundFX from the Houston game last year better though. That one still gets me jacked up.

That Texans mic job will be hard to live up to, for sure.
What I’ve noticed all year and esp. with all the hype building with every game, TT is much calmer.
I want the Cheerleader-in-your-face Tebow back ! :)
GB 2
I understand the external desire for TT's cheerleading
But I’m really glad to see him becoming more of a silent killer — reigning in his emotions and letting them rip at the right moments. It’s a long season and learning to manage one’s energy output is a skill — one of the many TT is doing a great job of developing.

This year, there are plenty of cheerleaders on the sidelines among the men!

Well said
This, again, reflects a team shift — this is about everyone doing their part rather than any individual having to “put the team on his back”. Much more difficult to defend when you don’t know which direction the attack is coming from.

agree on the "it's alright... we'll figure it out" thing.
great stuff. mic’d up is just good.

yea, the kid consoling his coach. Speaking of which,
Tebow’d make a great college coach some day.
GB 2
I loved it all.
His obvious leadership, his calm presence. I loved him joking around with the Bears defenders. Jeremiah jumping up and down like a bullfrog and screaming like a schoolgirl was amazing! His comments to DT & Goose. His heartfelt prayers to keep his strength and protect him and his teammates. Even his terrible, terrible, terrible singing.

Right before the GWD
you can hear him singing again.
I’m not an idiot, but his faith def helps him on the field. Not in a divine intervention way, but in a calming “my lord has a plan for me, and I trust him” way.
Just my thoughts.

Absolutely...
As a fellow Christian I don’t think God is manipulating the plays or the game so much, but you can’t deny the effect that it has on Tebow mentally and emotionally. It’s hard to state that without people thinking that you’re somehow convinced that God is making the Broncos win.
Go-Go Gadget Tebow!!!!
You didn't like Tebow's singing?
Then you probably don’t want to get his album coming out soon with such treasures as:

Take one down, spin it around, 19 NFL Teams on the wall

I found it interesting that before it started, the guy said the bears dominated for 3 quarters.
After watching the game again, this game should have been over by the third quarter—in favor of the broncos. Tebow was having his way with the bears defense for most of the game.

I have to agree
This offense is still coming together but growing by the week. After watching this I came away thinking I have been too hard on McCoy. Tebow’s growth has been amazing over such a short period and it will be VERY interesting to see what this kid does with an off-season and full training camp. Overall, I have not been this optimistic for over a decade. EFX are building the roots of a perennial contender with some young a and high quality/character personnel coming on board.

The only criticism for McCoy are the number of QB draws.
McCoy needs to save those for when the broncos get inside the redzone.
by tiderfootball09 on Dec 14, 2011 9:41 PM MST up reply actions
Nah...
They were needed. The Bears were pinching the ends to contain Tebow and sometimes leaving themselves weak up the middle. By pushing that weakness it was taking the edge off the outside pressure.

by Alan_Smithee on Dec 14, 2011 10:25 PM MST up reply actions
I disagree.
There was a point in the game where Johnson—the announcer— said it’s time scrape that draw play and the other guys agreed. Which is true because the ones I saw Tebow got maybe a yard, if that. Brian Urlacher stopped it everytime. McCoy should just use the QB drawn in the redzone rather than on 3rd and 5.
To take advantage of the ends pinching down, I would have gone back to the pitch to Jermiah Johnson.
by tiderfootball09 on Dec 14, 2011 11:34 PM MST up reply actions
I have a theory
By showing this play a couple times a game, much like the option, which we have run only a couple times the last two games, Defenses are forced to work on defending it A LOT. You notice Urlacher was glued to Tim most of the game, spying on him almost every play. That definitely opens up other options. If we had gotten the backside blocked on one of those, Urlacher took off when Tim stuttered Left and when he came back right, the only thing between Tim and daylight was the right defensive end.
Depends on the foe and their scheme and personnel
Urlacher was spying on TT very well. Some other MLB might not be so good at that.

by Schwerepunkt on Dec 15, 2011 8:00 AM MST up reply actions
In an 8 man front
like the Bears were playing, with Urlacher the “QB shadow” , and a disciplined line rush (ends up the field 5-7 yds and pinch in) DT’s push straight up field, while the the rest of the LB’s filled interior gaps and a safety in outside contain, the Bears played a whale of a game defensively for 55 mins. Disciplined and effective! With their team speed pitches would have only lost us yardage. The fact that our receivers kept dropping passes (chain moving passes) we couldn’t push the Bears out of this system. They had very effectively stunted our run game. Our receivers are young as well as most of O, they are still learning / improving also. If we continue to improve in the passing game… I definately would NOT want to be an opposing DC playing the Broncos :)
".....Im the waiting beast....Im the twisted nerve..."
Screens?
Wonder why we didn’t throw more . . . perhaps with ER in the game, we’ll see the screens that were so successful, getting the ball to him in open space.
depends on what you mean by "screen"
Traditional, slow developing RB and TE screens intended to make DEF’s pay for blitzing or passrushing to strongly are highly unlikely to be effective vs. most the fronts we see.
Because DEFs are so keyed on TT with shadows, etc., there are always LBs and Safeties hanging out in the middle of the field, and the DLs are also hesitant to come tearing into the backfield. As such, it is very likely that a traditional “screen” pass would be blown up or even potentially picked off.
Now, if you mean the quick 1/3-step WR “smoke” routes, etc., that could be a good way to stretch the DEF horizantally… but those are more just variations on the quick outs, slants, comebacks, etc. that get the ball outside quickly… and we do run a bunch of those.
Agreed
Small miscues stalled the O (esp. dropped passes) in ways that would have had points on the board otherwise.

Yeah.
That is one of my all time favorite songs, but that was painful to listen too. God surely gifted Tim with football talent, but zero singing talent. I cannot carry a tune in a bucket, so I am pretty sure that is about how I would sound too…
I know the song, good song. It reassured
me though that we don’t have to worry about losing TT to a singing career!

Haven’t heard the audio, have seen the prior comments about the singing… Got on a plane, and downloaded this comments page to read. Got to altitude, got a drink, took a sip and get your comment near the top…
Yeah, I recognize your transcription of classic Rich Mullins; and if Tim sounds anything like what’s in my head now, it will be a spectacle. Kind of like me wiping the apple juice off the seat back in front of me. Still burning my lungs too… Wow. Just wow.

When was the last time you heard a QB tell a teammate
“Hey, I’m proud of you.” Consider me converted.
That was awesome!
it makes me wish I could hear what was cut out.
When he talked to Thomas after the dropped pass.
he kept telling Thomas he was going to catch the game willing TD and he (Thomas) would be the hero.Great encouragement from a true leader. I also enjoyed his exchange with Kuper.

He is a special one of a kind talent
Leadership just pours from him. Watching him encourage DT is exactly what he should do, but so many don’t.
And the toughness. Wow. I remember my coach saying, “they knock you to the ground—no matter how hard they hit you—you help them up. After the third or fourth time you do that, your in their head—‘how tough is this guy, I don’t stand a chance.” I see that with Tim. You chase him around all day, finally catch him, and he’s asking you about how often you get back to Florida. I love it.
it’s a beautiful thing, isn’t it? he’s gaming those all-pros on the other side just by being himself. “what’s up lance briggs? hey, lance briggs!…”

My favorite part is after he fumble with less than 9 minutes left in the 4th
When that happened, my thought was all is lost, no miracle this week. But then I saw a shot of Tebow on the sideline, acting as if nothing happened,I knew we still had a chance. He didn’t let that defeat him as most QB’s would have after 31/2 Qt. with nothing to show for it
Perspective
Tebow has it in spades.
I may not agree with the method in which he acquires that perspective.
But he’s got it.
However you choose to get it, it’s a damn good thing to have.
On the DT touchdown
I love the way he looked off the defender, by staring down the checkdown option in the flat.
Stuff like that shows that Teebs is more savvy than people give him credit for.

On the 19-yarder to Matt Willis to set up the tying FG
Tebow took a quick glance and saw Urlacher bearing down on him.
Stands strong until the last moment and lets it fly, takes the hit.

And how fast was that release on that play?
Didn’t see a slow long wind up there. Which tells me that when he needs to he can unload it PDQ.

by asinsoin on Dec 14, 2011 10:22 PM MST up reply actions 1 recs
Well,
the slowmo was just to confirm that it was still a LONG windup, long compared to a prototype QB. If that’s gonna change, it will take about 2 offseasons worth of work, like it did with Aaron Rodgers out of college.
It’s still fast enough to get the job done.
On the motion
Word is that no one is going to change that. It’s all about footwork. Wrong move to try to change a motion this late in the game. He was high percentage completion in college, and the ball didn’t know that the receivers were college as opposed to pro defenders. It’s all about anticipation, and with Tebow’s delivery he just needs to start sooner and throw to the spot where the receiver will be open like any qb would. No qb waits until the receiver is open and then throws the ball—they look at how the receiver is covered, know the route, and put the ball where the receiver will be.
Ok, just finished watching the whole thing.
That. Was. Awesome.
If that was a movie script, even Walt Disney wouldn’t touch it. “Nah, too Disney,” he would say.

Favorite part has to be his dealing with DT after dropping a would-be TD catch. Let’s him know it was serious but also doesn’t get angry.

I think DT knew it was serious.
Probably more about letting him know that he still trusted him, and would still be looking his way with the game on the line.

And then he delievered
It was not all talk. When he saw DT, he threw it to him for the TD.
That was the play where he could have run it for at LEAST a first down, but he pulled up short of the LoS and delivered to DT.
I wonder if that was a case of wanting to make good on his promise that DT would catch the game winner? DT was open…. and Tebow’s showing he might run helped him GET open, but for Tebow to throw a strike to DT in that situation to give him a TD and show his trust was awesome.

Pain is temporary. Pride is forever.

The past is over. The future is unwritten. All we can do is affect our own destiny, God willing, and roll with the punches and make the best of our situation. We all know what is right and what is wrong. So we should do what is right.
And the best part
was that he was rolling to his right and the ball was on the money! Not easy to do for a lefty, and looks awkward as h***, but think about how a righty looks rolling left and then throwing across his body. Will not use the Green Bay qb “F” word, but guess what qb was famous for ridiculous throws while scrambling . . .
Matt Schaub, a righty, was doing just what you described
at the end of their game against the Raiders. Rolling left, throws back acroos his body, ball is picked off in the end zone, game over LOL.
After watching Brady rip his rookie receiver early in the day, this was particularly apropos
So far this season I’ve watched Romo yell at his receivers, Rivers do the same, more of that from Brady, more still from Cutler, Sanchez and Newton to keep the list manageable. This sequence was the distillation that makes Tebow who he is. Yes, DT dropped a sure TD. But he still needed him to give the team his all, and the only way to do that was to get past the past. It happened—you know you should have caught it and so do I—and its happening doesn’t help us right now. What are you going to do when I need you to catch the next one? Catch it, right?!
He was almost like a coach not a QB. It was magic. You see him talking to Adam Gase (his QB coach) in that sequence and he’s telling him how “it’s going to be all right,” again like a coach, not the player. The kid is mature way beyond his years.
You mean you wouldn't prefer Cam and.
“The other guys need to play up at my level”?
Go-Go Gadget Tebow!!!!
Speaking of Cam
Notice how well he plays until he messes up— one interception begets bad passes begets a second interception. Anyone talking about how they managed to lose when ahead by three scores last week . . . uh, guess who put the Falcons back in the game.
I like the very end...
Jay Cutler had a smirk on his face when talking to Tebow. That might have just been me though.

Yeah I don't think the 'C' matters that much..
There’s no doubt who is leading this team.

Took you guys long enough
As a Gator Mom I’ve been a Tebow fan through college. I was mentally yelling at the Broncos organization to just give him a chance. My son (who graduated UF in 2010, same year as Tebow) and I had long discussions about Tebow, and the type of play he’s capable of. What you are all seeing now is nothing new to a Gator fan.
I remember telling my son that Tebow has to be ready if/when his chance came, and that he’s not going to be allowed to just win, he’s gonna have to win a playoff game before the naysayers come around. And here they are. Practically in the playoffs.
This weekend will be a win for me no matter which team wins. The Patriots are my team, but I love me some Tebow (paraphrasing T.O.)
GO PATS!! GO TEBOW!!

I lived on campus his (and your son's) freshman year, and watched the stuff on TV from his high shcool days.
That is when I new…………
Glad to have you Caly. But Go Broncos, Go Tebow. lol

AS a fellow Gator
Loved your post. By the way, I “Rec’d” you, I didnt flag you. It looks, to me, like it was a flag but someone said they sometimes have issues like that.
Tim Tebow is Denver's 2012 starting QB. I'm not even a little sorry that offends some of you.
"No trees were harmed in the creation of this message, but a few electrons

Dont worry joe
When you rec’d someone, the flag moves right over the spot of what used to be the rec’d button. So you think you made a mistake, but it is not. You did click rec’d.
Caly, thanks for the comment. You are right that some naysayer will need a long time to change their mind. More then the Pats game or even one playoff games. They will say it is fluke or that the D got it done. Maybe after a few winning seasons and/or a superbowl perhaps.
Destiny
Man, I’ll tell you all what I saw – Tebow and Miller, standing on the sidelines, with Miller looking over at Tebow saying “no worries, man, I got this”…..
Tebow telling Julius Peppers good play when he knocked him out of bounds. The kid has class. That’s another part of his mystique, and reason why defenses can’t keep their eyes off of him.
Tebow telling Demaryious – don’t worry man, you’ll get out and score the winning touchdown – not quite, but without it we’re toast.
The whole team’s belief in itself.
A team of destiny. And a LEADER.
Maybe he is “God’s Quarterback”…..
and the other thing I saw
that just PUMPED ME UP – was seeing Champ on the sidelines yelling “let’s GO!!!”
When Champ is pumped like that, there is NO better CB in the league. Period.
Faith, folks. They believe, and it’s time we all do. 14-5 till we ain’t.

AMEN Brotha!!
"If you went to the Fair with this guy and you played that game where you have to throw the ball through the hole..... HE may never get it through the hole, but he's still gonna be walking away with all the stuffed animals" Prime on Tebow!!!

I got a little teary. We make it to the SB Im gonna be a Big Bag of Mess….lol

And then in the next moment, I see how pumped up and giddy all the guys were… and I wanted to giggle like a schoolgirl.

My favorite part, because it is the MOST IMPORTANT, is . . .
what Jay Cutler told Tebow at the end: “just stay healthy.” Tebow can’t do his magic if he’s on IR. I see IR in Tebow’s future. Did you hear those hits he took? When I watched the game live it didn’t seem the hits were quite so crunching. But . . . man! How much of that can he take? He’s not a cyborg.

He might be....
I think his toughness is up there with anybody. Add in he’s 235-240 lbs and I think durability could be a concern, but is a very overstated concern. He’s big for a RB, and they take hits 20+ times a game. We’re not dealing with Vick or Young who are small and fragile.
Like any player, he’ll deal with injuries, (and he may not have a 15 yr career) but I don’t see that as something I"m overly worried about. He’s protecting himself more and more (I about lost my voice yelling at him on a certain scramble where he ran OB 2 yds short instead of going for it. sure enough, 2 plays later we were punting). But I should be happy to see that stuff.
Go-Go Gadget Tebow!!!!
It's just the hit were really hard . . .
I know he’s tough and big. He can take a lot, unlike some other running QBs. But the NFL dishes out hits like no other sport on the planet. The physics of an NFL game are awesome.

Yeah I agree
I think he’ll struggle with injuries similar to Bathroom Ben, but Ben has been able to play through a lot, and has still won a SB and many other big games. I agree it’s a concern.
Go-Go Gadget Tebow!!!!
nothing was scarier in that game
then the personal foul call early in the game when his knees got dove at. Even the way he fell, holding his knee as he went down had me squeezing the life out of my football…
All I can say is we need to enjoy every second. Even if he goes on to have a 15 year career, it is hard to ever really appreciate the good times enough while they are happening.
Perseverance, secret of all triumph.

Your argument lost all merit when you said...
“We’re not dealing with Vick or Young who are small and fragile.”
So Vince who has 2 inches on tebow is somehow “Small” now?
Vince Young

Tim Tebow
- QB 6’ 3", 236 lbs
http://espn.go.com/nfl/player/_/id/13200/tim-tebow
Vince young looks skinny,
and nothing like a body builder. He’s not small, but I doubt he could take the his tebow takes.

Meh. Whatever
VY couldn’t stand up to anywhere near the damage Tebow can. Tebow is built like a FB. VY more like a WR.
Go-Go Gadget Tebow!!!!
He's built like Roethlisberger
except he doesnt have a wil ferrel body. If ben can take hits like that all the time, then Tebow can too

Ben has been injured frequently his whole NFL career
He’s played through a lot, but it still has an effect.

Most NFL QBs get injured (and almost always injured when in the pocket not scrambling). TT will probably be no different but he sure seems resiliant early in his career.
Not sure what your point is though. Any QB that enters the league has a trip to the IR in his future (provided he becomes a long time starter).
Like Will Ferrel
am I the only one who sees this? Everyone I mention that to thinks Im crazy

That was just electric......
When Tim told McCoy that it’s too late to wait for opportunities, gotta get it done right now…….Maybe he should do say that to McCoy in the 1st quarter!
W-L record doesn't matter to me.... I just want to see a team on the rise at the end of the year!
yeah - we cannot simply "wait" against the pats
Tebow will have to go Toe-to-toe with Brady. I hope McCoy opens it up early and often.
Q: What will happen if Tom Brady can't make the delivery of his first child with Gisele Bundchen? A: Bill Belichick will tape it!
Not sure if any parents watched it
but before the game he told Colquitt to go say hello to a little kid. Tebow ran over and gave him a hug and a signed football as well.
That was my favorite part.

the one that stood out to me...
is when he consoled DT after those big drops and told him that just keep on going, you might have the winning reception and DT might be the hero… great one for a leader!!!
Go Broncos!!!
In a world where only the strong survives... we just double our strength.
