[quote=Bubba305-ST21-;1007474]I think Tanard Jackson will be back and I think he will start at free safety for us. The guy can play, makes plays and has a nose for the ball. His problems are off the field, I think he will be back and starting.

Much much better than Madieu, our corners suffered from having madieu and reed at safety, whoever the safeties will be, I think our coverage will be much better overall whoever is back there. I think the starter at Free will be Madieu or Rambo with Merriweater at Strong.[/quote]

Being that we were so limited in FA because of the penalty, he is our best option at FS imo. Bring the young guys along, hell Rambo and Thomas probably could challenge Merriweather at SS.

Re: Secondary is a Primary
 

Why on earth would we want to take Gryphon, our best player, out of a game so that we can play Tebow instead? I say keep your best player in the game and let Tebow play elsewhere.

Re: Secondary is a Primary
 

^Rambo is a true FS imo, but I can see Thomas at Strong. Overall I like Rambo better, that being said Tanard is better than both for now.

[quote=Monkeydad;1007470]Ehh who cares. Griffin brings in the reporters too and we can handle it fine.


If we lose games because of what idiots write in newspapers and say on ESPN, we don't deserve to win.

He and Griffin are basically the same person OFF the field with their religious and political beliefs yet one gets hated for what he believes in.


Heard on NFLN this morning that New England is considering Tebow. He wouldn't fit there. Running the option 3 times a game won't work, ask the Jets. Here, we already have the perfect scheme in place for him.

This is the attitude I don't get...looking at his personality and beliefs before what he does on the field. None of the media talk/hype/obsession is his fault. Robert's an outspoken, open Christian and Conservative and no one in the media focuses on that. Tebow's nowhere near the QB that Griffin is BUT he is a great all-around athlete with a drive to win. He could help us more than he could help any other team in the league.

Just watch, Seattle will take a chance on him and beat us in the playoffs again, with Tebow's help.[/quote]

I really don't care about his beliefs or views. I'm not even talking about that. He's just a lightening rod for the media which isn't needed for a 3rd string QB.

I just don't see the benefit of bringing him in to be inactive every week. We're better off with Rex for many reasons.

I'd like to sign Tebow and let him play TE. We could have a lot of fun with him and Jordan Reed on the field at the same time, both being athletic and able to throw the ball. And like someone else said, he could even run the option some.

Re: Secondary is a Primary
 

Didn't we just see last year with Paul how difficult it can be moving to TE? I don't think Tebow is even that great of a fit there. They put him out on some routes last year in NY and he looked totally lost.

Re: Secondary is a Primary
 

What makes you think that Tebow have better hands than Davis's, and even Paul's? Tebow is simply overhyped and overrated, wayyyyy overrated. He could not even beat out Sanchez and Jets' 3rd QB last season. If Tebow had a chance to play good as TE then I'm pretty sure Jets coaches would have thought of that when Keller went down with the injury.

We wouldn't necessarily have to put him at TE, maybe we could line him up in the backfield. Or maybe we could put him and Griffin side by side about 5 yards behind center, with Morris lined up behind them. Then with Jordan Reed at TE you'd have 3 athletic guys on the field who could run, catch, or throw. The defense would have no idea what to expect.

I don't know, just a thought.

Re: Secondary is a Primary
 

How does a thread about the secondary turn into a dicussion about Tebow? Stop Thread Jacking!

I like what we have done with the secondary. If the pass rush can get home we have a secondary full of ballhawks with good hands. I honestly think half way through the season Rambo needs to become our starting FS and Thomas our starting SS. The more opportunity that they have to work together in the new role the better chance both player have of success.

If Jackson can be anything like the player he was before suspension the combo of Merriweather and Jackson will knock some heads as well.

I'll never understand the fascination with this guy.

Hatred is a little overboard, and it's certainly not what I think of him.

I just don't see how he's worth a roster spot with us.

The hatred for him is from the media. The media constantly talks about him. He's a backup and gets more talk than most playoff teams.

I'm a huge Florida gator fan, I loved the college version of tebow. But the nfl version I hate. And that's solely because of the media talking about him.
