Tim is still nursing some bruised ribs he received on a last minute touchdown run in the previous preseason game. Tebow missed a lot of practices last week, so it was pretty clear the coaches weren’t going to risk playing him. Had this of been a real game, Tim may have been out there.

Hopefully he continues to ice down the ribs and gets back onto the practice field this week. Tim likely wouldn’t play much in week 3 of the preseason anyway – this is the weekend the coaches let the starters go for 3 full quarters – but they would still probably run him out there for a few special plays. Plus, it’s great experience for Tim to be on the sideline in pads rather than street clothes.

We’ll keep you updated.

Recap of Tim Tebow’s Preseason Game 1 http://www.tebowzone.com/2010/08/recap-of-tim-tebows-preseason-game-1/ http://www.tebowzone.com/2010/08/recap-of-tim-tebows-preseason-game-1/#comments Mon, 16 Aug 2010 10:12:58 +0000 David http://www.tebowzone.com/?p=952 The Denver Broncos played the Cincinnati Bengals last night in what was Tim Tebow‘s first NFL game. The Broncos lost by a final score of 33-24, but as we said before – it doesn’t matter who wins or loses in preseason, all we hope for is no injuries. Tim played OK for a rookie in his first game. He definitely made some mistakes, but he also made some good throws.

Tim took the field at the 4:39 mark of the 3rd quarter. The game was in Cincinnati but you could see quite a few Tebow jerseys in the crowd, but for the most part it was a lot of boo’s. “Yeah, I heard it,” he said, chuckling. “It got me more excited to go out there and play.” Tim is used to hearing a lot of boos from every opposing stadium he’s gone to.

On Tim’s opening drive he made a great 35 yard pass down the sideline to Willis, but the open wide receiver couldn’t pull the ball in. That’s one thing that sucks about playing with the 3rd string – you have a bad offensive line protecting you and receivers who can’t catch / won’t make the team. Speaking of bad offensive line play, with about 3:40 left in the 4th quarter a rusher came unblocked from Tim’s blindside and just clocked him – forcing the ball loose in the process. It was picked up and return for a touchdown. Tim has to be aware of his surroundings, but the running back completely missed his block so the blame is on him.

Tebow scored his first NFL (preseason) touchdown on the last play of the game. It was a scramble from about 7 yards out. He got stuck in the gut as he crossed the goal line but it looked like he wasn’t phased. “I saw an opening, so I went to go get it and thankfully got in there,” Tebow said. This is one of the reasons the Broncos drafted Tim Tebow. Defenses will have to stay honest knowing they have a QB who can run back there.

Here are the Tim Tebow highlights in case you missed it.
