With Brady entrenched under center, few expect Tebow to play a prominent offensive role, but the former Heisman Trophy winner might carve out a spot in the game plan as a read-option specialist. Of course, putting Brady on the sideline for a play or two wouldn't sit well with the veteran, but I found it interesting that the team had a series of read-option plays ready and available for Tebow during the preseason opener. Of course, the preseason is the perfect opportunity to showcase gimmicks and gadgets with the intention of making future opponents scramble to prepare, but the success of the concept could entice Patriots offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels to sneak in a few tricks to keep opponents on their toes. Given the success of the pistol read option in 2012, I would expect Patriots coach Bill Belichick to flirt with the idea at some point this season.
