    Default Woody Paige: John Elway wants Tim Tebow to "pull the trigger" in NFL playoffs

    I guess John really does want Tebow to fail.

    Woody Paige: John Elway wants Tim Tebow to "pull the trigger" in NFL playoffs
    Posted: 01/04/2012 01:00:00 AM MST


    With Tebow at quarterback, the Broncos won seven of eight. However, they've dropped the last three. Tebow seems to have lost his confidence and has been tentative, or fearful, throwing the football, I suggested to Elway.

    "That's human nature, especially when you're young, to become more cautious," Elway said. "He had a tough week before (the Chiefs game) against Buffalo. The key thing for (Tebow) is to go out, put everything behind him, go through his progressions and pull the trigger.

    Default HP 56 wants McCoy to "help out his young QB"

    Give the guy some confidence throws. Shorten up the routes, use bootlegs and designed rollouts to limit his reads, screens, and play action. That would do worlds for getting his confidence up.

    Tim needs to throw more quickly and like Elway said, "pull the trigger", but giving him a better gameplan and not always putting him behind in down and distance (3rd and long) before you allow him to throw, will help immensely.

    If all they do is eliminate the 15 yard routes on 3rd and 4, it will help immensely. But nevertheless, I still see Tim locking into one receiver and not going through his progressions. My prediction this week...

    10-24, 175 yards, 1 TD, 1 INT

    They do not want him pulling the trigger against the Steelers.

    There's is validity to a better game plan but fact is there were still plenty of times he held onto the ball way to long. He needs throw the ball to a receiver before they makes his break.

    actually, I think elway does. because he knows the gun will be to timmy's head. if TT plays like a gunslinger(farvre0 he will have 5 INTs ! and thats exactly what ELWAY wants so he can dump TEBOW and drfat a legitimate NFL QB and be done with this luidicrous madness..
    as for the roll outs, THE DEFENSES are positioning themselves to take that away. Thjey dont care if he stays in the pocket, they dont care if he tries to escape straight up the middle. those are paths to failkutre.
    and if he tries to scramble to his left, we saw the results against the cheifs... backward progress !
    Tin sucks ,smell the coffee, wake up from your fantasy people! its been a fun season but timmys pocket full of miracxles is EMPTY and the new sherrif in town is REALITY !

    Good article. Woody is a bit of a fan boy though. But the stuff about Elway and the FO is good to know. I am glad for EFX. They took chicken shit and made chicken salad and thats impressive, considering so many ate it up.

    When I helped coach little league a few years ago we had a kid who was a pretty decent hitter. For some reason, about halfway through the season he became deathly afraid of the ball and he stopped swinging the bat. He seemed paralyzed in the batter's box. Finally, after a couple of games before he went to hit I pulled him aside and told him that I didn't care where the first pitch was he had to swing at the first pitch. The ball was way out of the strike zone but he swung anyway - and missed by a mile. The thing was, after that the spell was broken and he went back to swinging the bat.

    Tim has to do the same thing, even if it results in a bad play. After last week he has to break the paralysis. He has to get over the fear of throwing the ball. I think that's what Elway is trying to do here. Just grip it and rip it and live with the results. That's how NFL QBs make their money.

    Great article.

    I want Tebow to fail too. Since I believe that you must first fail to learn to succeed.

    Its the playoffs, let it rip Tim. At least if you fail we know where we stand at QB.

    If they want to win they will have to take the reins off a bit.

    They will have less of a chance of winning if they don't open it up some and allow TT to at least have a chance to succeed.

    Of course, he might fail miserably if they let him throw more on early downs, but I would like to see this team at least go down swinging as opposed to hoping for another unlikely late game miracle.

    Tim needs to set bad outings aside and just play. When you have open receiver on a flee flicker don't hesitate.

    Twenty-eight seasons ago, in his second season with the Broncos, Elway started his first NFL playoff game against, as irony would have it, the Steelers.
    Dang...has it really been that long ago?..Doesn't seem like it.

    Man I'm getting old.
