Now, i don't think this is a major part of the offense. But i do think this will be used in 2 ways:
1. Change up - if the offense is going 3 & out, this can give them a diff look for a play or two, to manufacture some yards.
2. RedZone - I don't think this will be a big part of their RZ pkg, but it will be there. Again, if the defense has our O's #, this is like throwing a change-up.

Tebow said it the other day that his main role was '4th down quarterback.' Just being on the field with the punt team forces the receiving team into a compromised position. And if the distance to go and area of the field are right, expect a fake. Not many backup TEs, LBs and DBs are going to be able to stop him on 4th and 2.
