Tebow and the "Moving Pocket" in 2012?

It sounds like the goal is similar to running a naked bootleg, something I wish Denver would do more of. Get Tebow on the move and let him throw. Maybe this would be something to get him to be more effective in the pocket.

A term that was once used for an OLine movement was a ‘trey’ move where the OLine moved in unison in one direction kind of like a ‘power’ run move. But, I’m not sure about the moving pocket term. Suggestion? You might try and email the guy if you can locate his email address. Maybe on facebook…

Part of the problem with moving the QB out of the middle of the field is in practice you’re limiting the amount of ground the secondary has to cover. The throw-back play works occasionally, but generally you’re cutting the field in half, which with the speed of today’s defenders makes the windows incredibly tight.

And sure, it’s a viable option. The key would be synchronizing Tebow and the O-Line. Tim likes to improvise though and that is what keeps getting him Sacked. Well, a combination of that and decision-making/holding on to the ball. The O-Line never knows what he is going to do, because Tebow doesn’t either. For something like this to work, it would take discipline from Tim. Of course it also means that a level of trust between him and the receivers as well as the receivers catching more passes consistently. That part can be remedied with more practice time. Tim needs to trust his passing too.
The only negative I can see from the moving pocket, is taking away approximately half of the field. It worked with Elway because he could throw a frozen rope 60 across the field.

I’ve been calling for exactly this all season long except the termination has been “rolling pocket”. Until Tebow evolves as a pocket passer (ala Elway) this is the way to go. It gets him out in space and opens up the field to see his receivers better. The play action naked bootleg was used against Pittsburgh with great success and it was great to see a “blast from the past” as this was an Elway staple.

Another intriguing idea is to designate at least one receiver as a zone read, meaning running to the open zones as a play develops (much like a motion offense in basketball), which I believe Shannon Sharpe was excellent at. This is a great way to involve the TEs on the short to medium routes which gives our QBs kinda of an automatic hot route.

and I believe it was an outgrowth of the veer offense. The idea being to add an additional threat to the veer by having a “moving pocket” that stayed in front of the QB, sold the defense that it would be a run, and allowed the QB to throw a short or intermediate range pass.

but cabbage is running 3rd. always vote cabbage, never a bad idea.

mccoy called a great game against the steelers. use that stuff next season, and expand on it. rollouts, bootlegs, play-action…we need to blitz protect much better and shore up tim’s blindside before we can even think about a passing attack in 2012. or a pocket. our pocket has holes, we need to think beyond the pocket.

who will be our new oc? i like jim fassell, who fox worked under as dc on the giants. time to return the favor. who out there is creative enough to call the zone-read et all, and a strong pass attack? better yet, who wants this job with tebow? who believes? wants the pressure? hmmm…
