Why Josh McDaniels' Insider Info Could Spell Doom for Tebow, Broncos

Former Denver Broncos head coach Josh McDaniels has returned to the New England Patriots as offensive coordinator and will begin to help the team as soon as this week. According to Patriots quarterback Tom Brady, McDaniels has inside information on the Broncos, who face New England on Saturday at Gillette Stadium in the Divisional round of the playoffs.

McDaniels could certainly give New England's defense a helping hand by divulging the strengths and weaknesses of certain players on Denver's offense. He could also provide insight into the best ways to prepare for and stop quarterback Tim Tebow.

In addition to that, McDaniels is also likely to have information on Denver's defense, since many of the players on the team were there during his brief tenure as head coach.

While I don't think anything McDaniels provides would lead directly to a New England win on Saturday, it certainly can't hurt the Patriots to have as much inside information as possible. 

If anything, McDaniels being involved with the Patriots will provide a psychological edge over the Broncos. A lot of the players on Denver's roster, including Tebow, were brought on board during McDaniels' tenure, so seeing their former head coach on the opposing sideline will certainly be unsettling for the Broncos.

The Patriots are overwhelming favorites to win on Saturday night, and adding McDaniels to the mix with his unique insight into the Broncos should only make New England stronger.
