New York Jets 2012 Schedule: Opponents Tim Tebow Will Make an Impact Against

The New York Jets 2012 schedule isn’t completed just yet, but their opponents are set and just the weeks need to be figured out. A full list of the teams they will be playing can be found here.

With that in mind, let’s take a look at which opponents Tim Tebow has a strong chance to make his mark against, either as a traditional QB, Wildcat facilitator or any other capacity.

St. Louis Rams

The Rams gave up a second-worst in the league 152.1 rushing yards per game last year and will be extremely susceptible to the Jets and their running game.

Remember, Rex Ryan said he is going to turn the focus back to the ground attack, and Tebow is an extremely dangerous weapon when carrying the ball.

The young man averaged 5.4 yards per carry during the 2011-12 season and punched in six touchdowns on the ground.

Tebow will definitely get some snaps and help New York to a W.  

New England Patriots

Mark Sanchez and Tebow both struggled mightily against the Pats last year, but perhaps constantly changing looks and switching things up on offense could help the team conquer its division nemesis.

It certainly wouldn’t hurt to vary packages and personnel against the master of that, Bill Belichick, and try to throw him off his game.

Everyone remembers when the Miami Dolphins brought the Wildcat into the NFL against the Pats to pick up a win, and the Jets could do something similar with Tebow.

Indianapolis Colts

The Colts stunk against the run last year, and they won’t be addressing that in the first round of the draft, since they will be taking a QB.

They have a rebuilding project going on in Indy, and the Colts won’t be able to shore up their ground defense that gave up 143.9 yards per game in time to face the Jets.

Expect Tebow to run wild.
