Friday night was the much anticipated debut of Tim
Tebow in a New York Jets uniform as the
J-E-T-S, Jets, Jets, Jets opened
the NFL pre-season against the Cincinnati Bengals.
Here’s the highlights of Tebow’s first possession at
quarterback. (Thanks NFL/WCBS-TV)
Not a bad first act as a Jet quarterback leading the
offense to a field goal. For those of us
who have watched Tebow since his days as the Florida Gators quarterback it appeared
to be the same ole Tim Tebow.
His 14 yard gain avoiding the Bengal rush is classic
Tim Tebow. He did it again later in the possession.
Tebow’s numbers in his Jet debut, 4-8 passing for 27
yards and an interception while gaining 34 yards in four rushing attempts.
“I liked the poise he showed,” Jets head
coach Rex Ryan said. “Obviously, [Tebow] made some big runs and that’s what we
say he can do. If you want to come after him, you better get to him. In time,
he’ll kill you running and that’s what he did. I think we did some good things
and I saw some guys finishing some blocks down the field.”
New York fans who are not as intimately familiar
with Tebow’s game seem to be impressed with the way he can make positive plays
with his legs. Those same fans are not that impressed with his passing skills.
This
Tebow-mania in the Big Apple soap opera is going to be good drama.
