NFL Play of the week: Broncos running wild. Tebow vs. Oakland Raiders

In an article last week we talked about Tim Tebow and the issues surrounding him and the Broncos. In their Week 9 game vs the Oakland Raiders we saw the Broncos adapt the offence to their opinion polarising QB and run a lot more of the zone read and option style offence he ran at the University of Florida.

An interesting twist the Broncos added was running the zone read from the Quads formation, leaving the backside defensive end isolated by himself. Check out a video of the play and then read on after the page break for our breakdown of the first play from Quads.

Play of the Week: Eagles vs. Cowboys. Vick to Maclin, Check Mate

One of the more interesting stories last season was the development of Mike Vick as an NFL QB in Andy Reids offence. A challenge facing any QB running a NFL offence is the ability to pick up blitzes and check to the correct play or protection to counter the defence. 

During the 1^st drive of the game the Eagles found themselves on the Cowboys 13 yard line with 3^rd and 9 to go. On the previous play the Cowboys had blitzed strong safety Gerald Sensabaugh, who had nearly broken up the play.
