im thinking brantely starts and tebow comes in for short yardage or if brantely starts throwing bad passes

I can see that too, however it can make Urban look like he's putting Tebow's health at risk.

why would he do that if anything it would be the opposite....why would he put him at risk...i would think moody would take short yardage situations or a hernandez shovel...

The problem with using someone other than Tebow in short yardage situations is that they're not a passing threat like Tebow has been. This is one reason why Tebow is so effective running - defenses have to respect his arm. As far as I know Moody can't pass the ball.

That may be true....but Im pretty sure they would take that hit rather than let tebow take those short yardage hits...

Tebow's being monotired on a daily basis by the UF medical staff, so if it's in his best interests not to play, they'll recommend to Coach Meyer that he sit out.

On the other hand, the UF coaching staff may be keeping things under wraps so as not to reveal too much to the other side - keep in mind that Coach Meyer has an undergraduate degree in Psych and knows how to play "mind games".
