And also coach Mickey (Marotti), my strength coach at Florida, is here as well. To just be able to hang with someone that I am very close with – a father figure. "(I went) to dinner with him last night and (he was) at both practices to watch me and to also encourage me and hangout.
"It was fun having him here," said Tebow. The Jets' new backup signal caller was happy to see his former mentor.
Ohio State head football coach Urban Meyer was on hand where he had the chance to take a look and visit with Tim Tebow, his former quarterback at the University of Florida. There was a special guest at Jets OTAs on Wednesday and Thursday. We need that extra emphasis on the little things." He puts a lot of pressure on the coaches, he puts a lot of pressure on his players to do it right. But he's tough on us, he's fair, he's an old school guy and he wants things done right and that's exactly what we need. Sometimes it's not a smile, it's a smirk. "He doesn't smile too often," said Sanchez. It's quite the change from former offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer, so it takes a little getting used to. "Break the god darn huddle," said Sparano. He also took his offense to task early in the session when they had some issues getting things going. He was all business during Thursday's OTA session as he gave Tebow the business after both interceptions. The former Dolphins head coach is a passionate and loud presence on the practice field. Speaking of that new offense, it's being run by new offensive coordinator Tony Sparano. You see a lot of smiles on faces, and guys are excited. They're flying around, enjoying it, and going against each other. I just love the temperament our guys are playing with. "Here you put in a brand new system on offense, sometimes there are growing pains, just like there was when we put a brand new system in on defense, and you kind of slow things down. "The tempo is the first thing that jumps out at me," said Ryan. Sure, there were plenty of mistakes, but for the first week of OTAs, a new offensive system being implemented, and a bunch of new players, I was impressed with what I saw. Until his return, assistant Ben Kotwica will run the special teams.Īt Thursday's OTA session, I was a little surprised how crisp the play was on both sides of the ball. He is expected to return before the start of training camp. While he was coaching with the Dolphins, he was diagnosed with bone cancer back in 1988. During a recent trip to Indiana to visit his son, the graph in Westhoff's left leg broke and had to be replaced. You'll help make it the highest selling jersey ever for a backup quarterback/wildcat specialist/special teamer.īest wishes go out to Jets special teams coach Mike Westhoff, who is recovering from surgery on his leg.
It's also okay to buy a Tim Tebow jersey. I think we have great competition going on offense and defense, it's good for us." It was good to see that vibe and talking to guys, guys were pushing and competing to the very last second with everything they have and then they pull up at the last second to protect the other guy on the other side of the ball. "Everybody's demeanor today was competitive. In fact, I thought - and remember these were just OTAs - that he was pretty sharp on Thursday, especially on that 75-yard touchdown pass to second-round pick Stephen Hill. If you're a Jets fan, don't be afraid to go out and buy a Sanchez jersey. I'd have more confidence in the team's seventh-round pick from 2011, Greg McElroy, who is back after missing all of last season with an injured thumb. But if you're looking for someone to be a threat to Sanchez, it's not going to be Tebow. He may not be a good backup either.īut to be fair, he's a great athlete and his abilities will help the Jets win games. Tebow is NOT an NFL starting quarterback. I went out there the next team period and felt like I did OK." When you make a bad play, just put it behind you and move on. Both of those plays, (it) was the first time I ran them. "It is definitely frustrating," said Tebow.
