Tonight at 8:00 the Denver Broncos will take the field in Minneapolis to face the Vikings in the final preseason game of 2010. You are going to see a lot of Tim Tebow tonight. The final preseason game is pretty much played for the guys at the bottom of the depth chart who are fighting for a spot. Now, Tim Tebow isn’t fighting for a spot on the Broncos … but the starters are typically only going to play 1-2 series in the game … leaving over 3 full quarters or work for the backups.
“You’re going to get a full dose of Tim Tebow,” Ryan Harris (Broncos’ offensive lineman) said of tonight’s Vikings-Denver Broncos exhibition game at the Metrodome. “He’ll be playing a lot.” I expect Brady Quinn (who is on the hot seat in Denver) to get a few series in the first quarter, then it will be all Tim the rest of the game. The Broncos will have special plays for him in the regular season and need to get him as much game work as possible.
“He’s a gamer, man,” Harris said of Tebow. “You can see why he was successful in college. And he’s a very good guy — what you see is what you get. He’s as true as you see on TV. That’s how he is every day. He’s got good leadership. But I think he’s learning that leadership is a little different in the NFL than in college. He’s doing a good job. He’ll help us win.”
The Vikings have one of the best defenses in the NFL, including a top pass rush from guys like Jared Allen. Thankfully, the Vikings defensive starters won’t be playing much (if at all) tonight either. Tim shouldn’t have a hard time lighting up the Vikings secondary. I expect Tim to take a lot of snaps from under the center and work on this short game passes – the ones in the 5-10 yard range. By the end of the game, I’m predicting Tim Tebow will have 250 yards, 2 touchdowns and 1 interception. The Broncos are going to throw the ball a lot tonight.
What do you predict for Tim Tebow’s performance tonight? Post a comment and let me know.
