If you are too off-balance to throw to the right, don't throw into a crowd. Better off to eat it, throw away, or run for position. If you think you can throw, go to the side with 3 wide outs and the under is most likely open quick in a blitz. If the QB can't get the short back side (for a lefty) route in this type situation, it is best to know this and have something called for this, like the screen or slant and have it to be where you have him look for it after giving a look away. The defense knew that Tebow was not going to throw to him, so they left the wideout standing there with his hands open. This player is wasted in that 1. he drew nobody away to open the rest of the field, 2.He is in a position where the QB never sees him open nor will he be able to throw to him in the blitz 3. he can't block anyone to help in any circumstance in the play(well, if Tebow broke the pocket and ran...)

The strong safety is in pack pedal mode and the free safety is too far inside to man up the inside trips receiver. Looks like zone. Try for the corners or throw it away. I would stick with the play.

Check to the slant as a hot by the #1 WR to the right. That slant should be really shallow, right at the LB that is blitzing. The rest of the pro slides to the left. The defender on #2 runs with the corner and vacates the area for the slant. Hit the inside wr to the right side if the safety scitters up and blitzes, thats why he’s running that go down the center.

Sprint right, have the seam receiver run the corner route, have the inside receiver run a quick out, and have the outside receiver cross underneath to clear the out route. You read Out to Corner, or tuck it. I know Tebow’s left-handed, but would a sprint right option not be viable there?

Slant is okay if DB has outside leverage, Fade if inside leverage. One play we run that can work against man is our swing pass, with #1 WR running a post and #2 WR rubbing off him on a swing route. If the DBs are tight enough, it is as close to a pick as you might want and will get you the separation you need to get it out there quick. Truthfully I prefer a runner in the backfield that close to the goaline, just to keep them honest. I know Tebow can run, but not every team has a Tebow. Short field, I check to a 3 step.

Likely the seam from #3 receiver on the right. This seam would be thrown into the endzone. Must be incomplete or TD. Gotta get at least 3 points here.

If he's covered, throw high so only he can catch it or it's out of bounds and kick the field goal. Same result as if the draw doesn't reach the end zone. Depends on the clock, too. Do you want it running, then check to the draw. ~SAS Check left #2 receiver to a middle to a post. If he’s covered, throw high so only he can catch it or it’s out of bounds and kick the field goal.
