Take another look at Tim Tebow's stunning 20-yard touchdown run that knocked off the Jets on Thursday night. Watch the play of New York's Antonio Cromartie, No. 31, and Kyle Wilson, No. 20. As Tebow barrels downfield, Cromartie and Wilson tangle with Broncos blockers in the end zone. Cromartie, especially, appears disinterested in shedding wideout Eric Decker to confront the bulldozing (possibly magical) quarterback head-on. Rex Ryan's entire defense seemed to be under a spell during Tebow's 95-yard march. "I'm shocked. This is crazy. I'm just so shocked right now," Darrelle Revis told the New York Daily News. "Don't get me wrong. I'm not doubting Tim Tebow's skills. He's a great football player. We felt like we had him where we wanted him. Those legs he's got brought the Denver Broncos home. He did it. Tim Tebow did it." Source: NFL.com

yes. there had been a lot of discussion leading up to this game that one of the reasons tebow is having so much success running the ball is because he is SO big and isn't afraid to deal blows and a lot of guys on oppossing defenses simply aren't challening him. I would say the bigger and more mentally 'tough' defenses in the league will have more success containing tebow.
