Honestly Woody I'm not sure I would believe a football coach if he told me the sun set in the west. But I always have hope when a new guy is brought in. You have to believe that some where down the road the Gator offense can climb from the abyss.

Only five days into spring practice, it's far too early to know who the starting quarterback is going to be, how things are going to play out at wide receiver and whether the Gators will have a dominant tailback and the downhill running game they're seeking in 2012.
But new offensive coordinator Brent Pease does seem to have an early feel for the Florida offense. And he likes what he's feeling.
"The kids have been great," Pease said Wednesday. "They're encouraged, they're buying in. We've all got to buy in more and trust each other and we've got to develop some fundamentals and ball security and physicality. We're all buying in.
"They've all been good. They want to win. I know what they came here for, the same thing I came here for, to be successful playing for a great institution and coach (Will) Muschamp. They're eager. They're very coachable.
"Five days in, I'm like, I'm excited. I'm excited."
Even though it is early, Pease said he thinks he's got the talent to do the things he wants to do on offense — basically the same things his Boise offense did so effectively.
"We have it," he said. "The more (talent) you get, the better. But, yeah, we've got it. We have those things in place.
"How much you can do? … The more skill guys you have then you can always really start to attack people. The more you get, the better, obviously."
Of course, the No. 1 focus this spring (at least for the fans and the media) is on the battle at quarterback, where Jacoby Brissett, Jeff Driskel and Tyler Murphy are competing for the starting role.
Again, it's early, but Pease seems encouraged by what he's seen from his QBs.
"As much as there is going in, they've picked up a lot," Pease said. "You're starting to see a little bit of everything. You're seeing some management skills, some huddle control. You're seeing them throw the ball with better anticipation, with more authority.
"They are starting to get a grasp of everything, and it's encouraging. They're more accurate than they've been. They're doing a really good job. There's a long way to go, but as much improvement as you've seen in (five) days, it's encouraging."
Pease was asked if any of the three quarterbacks have stood out.
"No. Five days. Absolutely not," he said. "They're all the same."
At wide receiver, Pease said one player has started to stand out — redshirt sophomore Quinton Dunbar, who received a big build-up from the coaches heading into last season, but did not turn out to be a major player in the passing game.
"I don't know about last year," Pease said. "I've just seen (Dunbar) improve. I've seen him catch the ball better. I've seen him make some big plays in practice.
"He's starting to play the game fast. He's not thinking so much. When kids are thinking, they play slow because they don't know everything. They don't trust, they have no confidence.
"I've seen the pace at how he plays the game every day, and he's getting faster and faster."
Pease said he's also been impressed with senior Frankie Hammond Jr. and true freshman Latroy Pittman. One wide receiver who has not started to emerge yet, he said, is junior Andre Debose, UF's biggest playmaker in the passing game last season.
"I would hope (Debose could be a go-to guy), but I haven't seen that," Pease said. "He's working through some offseason injuries that he's had.
"Frankie Hammond has done some good things. He brings a lot to the table for us. I think Latroy is going to be all right. Trey Burton adds to the picture being able to be in some of those spots. Debose will be fine."
Pease also seems encouraged by the possibilities in the ground game. He said the Gators have some depth and talent at tailback (Mike Gillislee, Mack Brown, Omarius Hines and Chris Johnson). And he said the offensive linemen have made a favorable early impression.
"I think they can be pretty good," Pease said of the linemen. "The one thing I've seen is their bodies. Their bodies are changing. I think they've done some great things in the weight room. Coach (Jeff) Dillman, what he's done with those guys, they've done some really good things.
"We're a long ways from where we really want to be, but they're in pretty good shape with the tempo we've been going. It's kind of encouraging to see what they've done and really how smart they are and communication-wise. Now, we've got to get more consistent."
That's sort of the early assessment of the entire offense only a few days into the spring. The Gators have some talent, they have a chance to do what Pease wants to do, but they still have a long, long way to go.

Former UF football players unite to give back

Once a Gator, always a Gator.
Some former Florida football players are bringing new meaning to the long-standing unofficial loyalty oath among Gator Nation.
In a move designed to make the Florida football family closer and stronger than ever — and give it a collective voice — a new group called Florida Players Network has been established to unite and support former UF football players and give back to the Gainesville community.
"We have a couple of main goals," said former All-SEC wide receiver Chris Doering, the president of FPN. "One is the networking aspect of bringing former players together. Many of us have had success. We hope to develop a fund where we can help support some former players who are not doing so well, some destitute former players and their families.
"Second, we want to give back to the community. Down through the years, we have been supported so much by the people in the community. We want to give back."
Doering said FPN is the brainchild of former UF running back Terry Jackson. Jackson, Doering and some other former players in the area, including Mark Campbell and Aubrey Hill, began putting together the organization last fall.
Doering said more than 100 former players have already joined, including Percy Harvin, Nat Moore, Emmitt Smith, Larry Kennedy, Errict Rhett, Fred Taylor, Lito Sheppard, Andra Davis, Maurkice and Mike Pouncey, Ahmad Black and others.
"There are some other groups around the country that are similar," Doering said. "There is such a lack of joint participation among former Florida football players. There are about 2,500 of us out there. This is a chance to come together and do some good for some former players in need and do something positive in the community.
"Helping out some former players and their families — like Harold Monk's family (Monk recently died, leaving behind a wife and children) — that's one of the things the former players have been most excited about."
As for having an impact in the community, FPN will select a charitable cause in Gainesville each year and host networking events to raise money for the designated charity. Shands Hospital for Children at the University of Florida has been selected this year.
The FPN events will take place during the Orange and Blue Debut weekend of April 5-7. Some of the activities will include a tour of Shands Hospital for Children, a golf tournament, flag football game, tailgate party and a blue carpet event at the Ben Hill Griffin Stadium Champions Club, with guest of honor, UF coach Will Muschamp.
"We want to create positive opportunities for any football player who is part of the Gator Nation," said Emmitt Smith, the Hall of Fame running back who is a member of the FPN board. "Together we can make a difference in Gainesville and in the lives of so many who made a difference for this community. We want FPN to be another shining example of how strong UF's football program really is for its players."
Former UF football players can register for FPN's Spring Spectacular events (many of which are free) at www.floridaplayersnetwork.org. Events are also open to FPN sponsors.To become a sponsor go to: www.floridaplayersnetwork.org.
UF baseball visits Gamecocks

In Omaha last June, the South Carolina Gamecocks became more than just an SEC rival for the Florida Gators. They became a nemesis.
Thursday's game
Who: No. 1 Florida (20-1, 3-0 SEC) at No. 8 South Carolina (16-5, 0-3)
When: 7:30 p.m.
TV: ESPNU
Radio: AM-850
Notes: Florida begins an eight-game road trip. … Florida has not allowed an opponent to score more than five runs in 17 straight games. … South Carolina opened its SEC schedule with three losses at Kentucky last weekend.Just when it looked like UF was in a position to gain the upper hand on winning the 2011 College World Series, the Gamecocks somehow snatched it away from the Gators and went on to win their second national title in a row.
The Gators remember.
"Yeah, it's obviously left a sour taste in our mouth," senior UF outfielder Preston Tucker said. "A lot of the guys still remember the game like it was yesterday. I know I do."
Top-ranked UF's current school-record 18-game winning streak has done nothing to erase or soothe the bitter memories of Omaha.
In the first game of the best-of-three championship series, the Gators appeared on the verge of pulling out a victory after loading the bases with no outs in the bottom of the ninth inning in a 1-1 game.
But an almost sure victory turned into an agonizing defeat.
Tyler Thompson hit a grounder and Mike Zunino was forced out at home. Then Daniel Pigott grounded into an inning-ending double play.
In the 11th inning, two Florida throwing errors led to the game-winning run for the Gamecocks.
It was a devastating loss for UF — and a series changer. After the way the first game went down, it seemed inevitable that USC would win the series the next night — and that's just what the Gamecocks did, beating the Gators 5-2.
There's no title on the line in a three-game series between the two rivals in Columbia this weekend. But UF's winning streak is on the line. And this is a chance for the Gators to move past last June's heartbreak at the hands of the Gamecocks.
"It's going to be a lot tougher this time, playing at South Carolina," Tucker said. "We know what we're going to get. I played there my sophomore year, and it was extremely tough to come away with a few wins.
"We're just going to give it our best and try to put a few runs across early, and hopefully our bullpen will take care of things."
The Gators have experienced a championship feeling in Columbia before. Two years ago, UF clinched its first SEC title since 2005 by winning the first two games of a three-game series with USC.
But Zunino said UF's recent past with South Carolina — the good and the bad — will be no factor this weekend.
"It's another three-game SEC series we have to go play," said UF's star catcher. "It's a new year. Both teams have worked hard (since last season). They're out there trying to get better every game and so are we.
"It's a great place to play. Great atmosphere. Great road trip. We're ready to go up there and have a good weekend."
Jets, Broncos complete trade for QB Tim Tebow

NEW YORK — Tim Tebow is coming to New York. Really.
After a big false start, the New York Jets pulled off a Tebow-like comeback Wednesday night, getting the quarterback who turned the Denver Broncos from an also-ran into a playoff team last season and became the NFL's most talked-about player — for a fourth- and sixth-round draft pick.
Now, Tebowmania is opening on Broadway.
And, there's sure to be plenty of drama — just as there was from the moment the Jets pulled off the deal. Or thought they did, that is.
"I'm thankful they stuck with me through this whole crazy process," Tebow said during a call late Wednesday night, repeating several times that he was "excited" to be a member of the Jets.
Eight hours after initially agreeing to a trade, the teams completed it after it was hung up when the Jets balked at repaying Denver more than $5 million for a salary advance due Tebow. The two sides agreed to split that cost, and Jets general manager Mike Tannenbaum said the team was "comfortable with the compensation."
He said there was a disagreement about how to handle the salary advance after Denver received the papers.
"We knew what the contract was," he said. "We had read it. ... We felt it was one way; they felt it was another. Based on that, they were well within their rights to assess their different possibilities of what to do and their alternatives. And they did so throughout the day."
So the Jets waited and waited — and looked as if they had botched the big deal. Despite ultimately pulling off the trade, it's just another bizarre moment for the Jets, a team that has had its share of them over the years, conjuring memories of Bill Belichick's hiring as coach and his resignation one day later.
The deal also raised questions about the Jets' commitment to Mark Sanchez, who received a $40.5 million contract extension, with $20.5 million guaranteed, earlier this month.
During a call late Wednesday night, Tannenbaum repeatedly referred to Sanchez as "our guy" and the team's unquestioned starting quarterback.
"Mark Sanchez is, has been and will be our starting quarterback," he said.
But the Jets have opened themselves — and Sanchez — to what could be a season of added criticism from restless fans who are sure to call for Tebow to play at the first sign of struggles.
"We obviously know that Tim has a magnetic following," Tannenbaum said. "We understand the popularity of the backup quarterback, and this one is more unique than others."
Tebow said he had a "great conversation" on Wednesday with Sanchez, adding that they've been friends for several years.
"My goal is to push him to get better, and to push myself to get better every day," Tebow said. "But I think we'll have a great working relationship. We'll have a great relationship off the field, and we've had that the last few years. He's such a classy guy and handles himself so well, and I'll be very honored to call him my teammate."
Just a few weeks after "Linsanity" swept the area and the rest of the NBA with the Knicks' sensational Jeremy Lin, "Timsanity" now will take over New York.
"I'm just excited for him and to see what he does," Lin said in Philadelphia, where the Knicks beat the 76ers. "We'll see what happens next year. But I'm excited, obviously, that he's going to be in New York."
So was defensive end Mike DeVito, who likes the intangible qualities Tebow will offer.
"You've got a tough player on the field, a leader in the locker room and a guy who shares the faith that I share," DeVito said. "So, I'm very grateful to have him on our team, and I feel it's going to really benefit us as a whole."
But not everyone's a fan.
Another teammate, cornerback Antonio Cromartie, took to Twitter on Wednesday to express his confidence in Sanchez and the offense as structured before the deal was finalized.
"Y bring Tebow in when we need to bring in more Weapons for (at)Mark—Sanchez," Cromartie tweeted. "Let's build the team around him. We already signed to 3 year ext."
The Jets signed Drew Stanton last week to be their No. 2 quarterback, ahead of Greg McElroy, the team's seventh-round draft pick last year. Tannenbaum said Tuesday that he was confident in the trio, but on Wednesday acknowledged that the team would assess that situation.
Hall of Fame quarterback Joe Namath, who led the Jets to their only Super Bowl title in 1969, was also among those who were unhappy.
"I'm just sorry that I can't agree with this situation. I think it's just a publicity stunt. I can't go with it. I think it's wrong," Namath told 1050 ESPN Radio on Wednesday. "I don't think they know what they're doing over there."
Two minutes after the Jets initially posted the trade —in which they'll get a seventh-round pick in 2012 — on its Facebook page, there were 874 "likes," 366 comments and 247 shares. Most of the comments ran along the lines of: "I might cry" and "He is not welcome here, another terrible decision."
Regardless, the Jets sure got the headlines and were the talk of sports radio — even on a day when the New Orleans Saints received unprecedented punishment from the NFL for a bounty system that rocked the football world. Head coach Sean Payton was suspended without pay for next season, and former defensive coordinator Greg Williams, now with St. Louis, was banned indefinitely.
But even all that couldn't overshadow another embarrassing episode for a franchise that has had to explain away several missteps in recent years.
The Jets are hoping Tebow can help change all that.
He led the Broncos to the playoffs last season — along the way beating Sanchez and the Jets, who missed the postseason. But Denver executive John Elway believed Manning gave the team a better chance at winning a championship now.
For the Jets, Tebow adds a unique dimension to the offense, including running the team's wildcat package — something new offensive coordinator Tony Sparano enjoys using.
"It is very clear: They want me to come in and compete and get better, and get better as a quarterback and to help the team any way possible," Tebow said. "Whatever that role is, I will do my best."
Tebow also provides a solid presence in a locker room that was rife with infighting last season — particularly between Sanchez and wide receiver Santonio Holmes. He also brings with him a flock of fervent fans for reasons that have to do as much with his faith as his football skills. A devout Christian, he's been a role model since his days at Florida, when he led the Gators to two national titles and captured the Heisman Trophy.
Denver started shopping Tebow after signing Peyton Manning, and the Jets were considered a long shot as late as Tuesday night. But New York went hard after Tebow, envisioning him as a versatile complement to starter Sanchez. The Jets also had pursued Manning, but fell out of that race early when there wasn't mutual interest.
As part of Tebow's $11.25 million, five-year contract he signed as a rookie in 2010, he had a $6.277 million advance due 29 days after the start of the 2011 league year. That money was paid to him in August after the NFL lockout ended. The trade stalled over the payment the Jets would owe the Broncos from that advance.
That allowed Jacksonville to get back into the hunt, and it came down to the Jaguars and Jets.
"I think we have a duty to consider all avenues of improving the Jaguars on and off the field, especially given the unique circumstances involving the player," Jaguars owner Shad Khan said in a statement. "I am very satisfied with the outcome."
Tebow said, contrary to some reports, he didn't have final say in where he was going.
"Ultimately, I really didn't have any because the Broncos had all that power," Tebow said, adding that Denver was "gracious" in the way it handled the process. "I was just kind of watching and waiting — kind of like everybody else. It was an interesting day."
On Tuesday, Sanchez spoke highly of both Tebow and Manning on Fox Sports Radio in Los Angeles.
"I think Peyton is going to do great, and I think Tim is going to do great no matter what happens," Sanchez said on "The Petros & Money Show." "He can learn from one of the best quarterbacks to ever play or he moves on somewhere else and uses his skills at another ball club. He definitely has talent. He knows how to win. He knows how to impact players, so both guys are really in a good situation. It'll work out for both of them."
Tebow's days were numbered in Denver when Manning chose the Broncos as his next destination. They are two entirely different quarterbacks and it made little sense to keep Tebow as a backup because the Broncos were going to have a vastly different offense under Manning, one of the most precise passers in league history.
Elway and Fox called Tebow on Monday night to tell him it was possible he would be traded.
Elway said he wanted to do right by Tebow, who took over a 1-4 team and led the Broncos to the AFC West title and a playoff win over Pittsburgh.
"As a former player, I know the last two weeks were not easy for Tim," Elway said in a statement. "He was put in a difficult situation, and I commend him for how he handled it with the same first-class manner he displayed throughout his career in Denver."
Gators Gone Pro
Jets had lots of reasons for wanting to add Tebow
Wednesday, March 21, 2012 at 6:54 by Talal Elmasry (Gainesville SUN)
Quarterback Tim Tebow runs for a touchdown against the New York Jets after breaking the tackle of free safety Eric Smith on Nov. 17, 2011, in Denver. (The Associated Press).
Last Nov. 17, Tebowmania was early in its process of becoming a must-see Sunday spectacle. That day, Mark Sanchez had a front-row seat to its explosion.
He witnessed it from the sidelines as it marched 95 yards for the late, game-winning touchdown against his team in Denver. He watched Tim Tebow dodge an all-out blitz and rumble 20 yards into the end zone before screaming at a Mile-High crowd instantly infected with the phenomenon. Little did he know, Tebowmania would find a new home in his Big Apple backyard four months later.
The fact that it spread to New York is surprising, especially since it caused head coach Rex Ryan to get treatment from the paramedics that day. Ryan was suffering from indigestion brought on by a post-game meal. Once the paramedics arrived at the airport, one of them asked Ryan how he was doing.
"I was doing fine until (bleep-bleep) Tebow had that (bleeping) 95-yard drive," Ryan said, according to sources.
Granted, Sanchez has had the same effect on his coach at times. And yes, the Jets did sign quarterback Mark Sanchez to a three-year extension a little less than two weeks ago. However, the deal — which seemingly commits to Sanchez through 2016 — only looks that way on the surface. In reality, the contract didn't provide him with that much more money or that much security. At the end of the day, Sanchez has $20.5 million guaranteed as opposed to $17.75 million over the next two years, giving him a less-than-modest raise of $2.75M. Since the rest of the money in his agreement is non-guaranteed, it only ends up being a two-year commitment to Sanchez.
And it's not like the fans, media or even his own teammates are committed to the former USC quarterback. Last season, a rift between Sanchez and receiver Santonio Holmes was at the heart of tension that was apparent in the Jets' locker room. Running back LaDainian Tomlinson said the division was "as bad as I've ever been around, honestly." In the week leading up to the team's season-ending loss to the Dolphins, Holmes took a verbal jab at Sanchez during a players only film session organized by Sanchez. Holmes was benched for the last two minutes of the game after having an altercation with an offensive lineman in the huddle and not listening to Sanchez.
At first, one might think Tebow could help calm and even unify the Jets' volatile locker room. That may be the case eventually, but cornerback Antonio Cromartie, Hall of Fame quarterback Joe Namath and even Sanchez himself didn't like the idea of signing Tebow.
Cromartie tweeted Tuesday that he didn't want Tebow as a teammate. "We don't need (Tim) Tebow," Cromartie said on Twitter. "We sell out every home game let him go to Jacksonville Tampa or Miami. Our wildcat offense can b ran by J. Kerley or Joe McKnight we straight."
The signing also stirred strong feelings in Namath, who implied on Twitter that Tebow could be Ryan's latest weapon in his interstate war against the Giants, who are fresh off their fourth Super Bowl title.
"I'm just sorry that I can't agree with this situation. I think it's just a publicity stunt. I can't go with it. I think it's wrong," Namath told 1050 ESPN Radio on Wednesday. "I don't think they know what they're doing over there."
Sanchez certainly didn't like the idea of Tebow taking snaps at quarterback, even if Sanchez was still the starter.
"I don't know if I'm very good splitting out like that," a laughing Sanchez told "The Petros Money Show" on FoxSports Radio in Southern California. "I don't like coming off the field."
But that's bound to happen. The Jets have made it clear that they want to be a smashmouth offense. Tebow can certainly provide that, especially with new offensive coordinator Tony Sparano sure to run the Wildcat just as he did with the Jets' AFC East rival, the Dolphins.
Another thought is that Tebow could spur Sanchez to become the quarterback they want him to be.
But what happens when Sanchez has a bad game? Sanchez threw 18 interceptions last year, which was the fifth most in the NFL. One of those was a critical pick-six in the second half of last year's loss to Tebow and the Broncos.
And what happens when Tebow makes something happen, whether it's with his arm or legs, out of the packages sure to be designed for him in Sparano's new offense? Tebowmania would once again sweep over the Big Apple, possibly dealing Sanchez another heartbreaking loss. But giving Broadway its biggest show in years.

Tebow, et al
by Pat Dooley (Gainesville SUN)
PHOENIX — This week is a good example of why the NFL is The King.
Here we are at the Sweet 16 of the NCAA Tournament. Major League Baseball is about to crank up. The NBA is in high gear. Tiger will tee off at Bay Hill tomorrow.
And all anyone can talk about is the NFL.
Peyton Manning signs with Denver. Tim Tebow is traded to the New York Jets. Sean Peyton is suspended for a year.
Oh well, I might as well jump in, too.
1. Like I said earlier, I'd have made the move if I was the Broncos. But if I was Manning, I'd have gone to San Francisco. Denver was awful before Tebow took over and, to be honest, not much better with him. He willed them to a bunch of wins, but there were certain teams they could not even dream of beating. Denver has a lot more moves to make if it thinks it will be in the Super Bowl again.
2. Tebow to the Jets makes no sense. They already have a quarterback who needs constant pats on the back. And the locker room was a mess before Tebow was acquired. Does anyone believe this is going to be a good fit? It's good for Timmy off the field in terms of his marketability. But I just don't get why Rex Ryan would make this move. At the same time, it's low risk because of what they gave up.
3. I was surprised at the length of the suspension for Peyton, but not that the NFL came down hard on him. It was a message they felt needed to be sent. I wrote two weeks ago that the people of New Orleans could not care less about the SEC Tourney because of all the news floating around about their football team. The Final Four is there next weekend.

Would like to see the NFL come down on Greg Williams the D-Coordinator as well.
by Dennis
NFL's penalties, which seem excessive, are related to its problem with concussions. Bounty hunting's long been a part of the NFL. Anyone doubt Buddy Ryan wanted some players taken out when he was D coordinator with Bears?
by 76gator
Gregg Williams is suspended indefinately, my guess is the NFL wants him to walk away. I do not think he will be coaching again for at least 2 to 3 years. Manning to the 49ers would have been a terrible move and Manning was smart not to pursue it. He is both a QB and OC on the field at the same time and no way Harbaugh would have given him any leash…those two would have never gotten along. Tebow going to the Jets makes absolutely no sense…would be like Justin Bieber joining Metallica. I am Tebowing for a snag before the trade is complete.
by JM
I can't see Tebow working with foul-mouthed Ryan.
by Mark
The interesting question is where was Jax when the bids for Tebow came in. Could it be that the Jaguars owner really doesn't want to improve interest and attendance that Tebow could provide because he really wants to move the team to LA. To do that, he has to be able to prove poverty in North Florida (or at least what passes for poverty among the NFL's ownership) to get the Commishes approval for a move.
by william
It's also what drives me crazy about the NFL. They promote themselves 365 days a year. Here actual sports are being played this week- the NCAA tournament, for goodness' sake- and all of the news is about who is going to be on what team for a season that won't start for almost six months.
