Tim Tebow winning over Jets staff http://www.nfl.com/news/story/09000d5d8291db39/article/tim-tebow-winning-over-jets-staff- By Marc Sessler NFL.com Writer Published: May 15, 2012 at 06:03 p.m. Updated: May 15, 2012 at 11:19 p.m. The early returns on Tim Tebow out of Florham Park are positive and gaining steam. Nobody knew what to expect when the New York Jets traded for the former Denver Broncos starter, but Tebow told reporters last week he's played exclusively under center this offseason. "I think he can be very good," Jets quarterbacks coach Matt Cavanaugh told the New York Daily News this week. "I was pleasantly surprised when I saw him over an extended period of time ... not just watching him play on film. I think he's certainly got the arm strength. He has good mechanics. They're getting better every day." Tebow's work ethic is praised everywhere he goes, but his mechanics have been under fire from the minute he was drafted by Denver in 2010. Cavanaugh is focused on improving Tebow's footwork and delivery inside a clean pocket, according to the newspaper, but it's clear the Jets are happy with his play. We lack a clear blueprint for how Tebow will be used in New York's attack. Mark Sanchez is the starter for now, with Tebow expected to be used up to 20 snaps a game in the Wildcat -- but his role could grow. We expect it to if Sanchez rediscovers his troubles from last season. Sanchez is being asked to play the part of good company man, surrendering a large chunk of his role in the offense to make room for Tebow. So far, Sanchez has adapted with poise, at least publicly. "I think any quarterback that plays doesn't want to come off the field," Cavanaugh said. "But that's the head coach's decision. Between (coach) Rex (Ryan) and Tony Sparano, the offense will be totally set and that will be their plan. ... If you're a really good quarterback, you understand that you want to do what's best for the team. So I don't see it being an issue."
Misleading title IMO. Winning them over meant the Jets coaches were down on him when all we heard is we don't know what to expect from Tebow. I guess Tebow is finally a good practice player? Are these practices similar to the ones Tebow supposedly struggled with in Denver against Brady Quinn? BTW Cowboys fan, not directed at you but at nfl.com for the misleading headline.
I don't think we should take anything the Jets say to the public seriously at this point. They pretty much said the same thing for Sanchez his rookie year Sent from my ADR6300 using Tapatalk 2
Cavanaugh doesn't like all the headlines Rex and Tony are getting, decided to take matters into his own hands haha
