He'd be on the field to be an H Back -- for the formations he would be useful in, he needs to only be a threat to catch a wide-open release route.  When Tebow's in the backfield, the defense will put a spy right on him.  So the question is will there be play-action that makes it seem like a straight-ahead run, and instead they screen it out to the flat.  

It will be a "keep 'em honest" type of route.  The other times he's running routes (because the play is not designed to get the ball to him), he'll run a mushy one and the ball will only come his way on a blown coverage.

That might be the biggest positive in this whole adventure - Compare Tebow to any other backup TE on the roster - if any other backup is lined up, is the D gonna key on them?

Heck, if he draws the eyes of a defender or three, that may be the biggest asset we can ask for!
