Top of the Town 2012

It’s slim pickin’s these days in the ol’ coaching category. There are new coaches at Folsom Field, Hughes Stadium, Moby Arena, and Dick’s Sporting Goods Park. Plus, the Rox have been a little, um, less than stellar this season. But there is one guy who surprised us all despite some unusual circumstances: John Fox was handed a quarterback controversy that pitted Kyle “I Can’t Buy a Touchdown” Orton against Tim “I Can’t Pass for a Touchdown” Tebow. But Fox didn’t throw up his hands; instead, he switched up the playbook to match Tebow’s strengths and made sure his defense kept the Broncos in the game. And it worked. We’re looking forward to seeing how a defensively minded Fox—who has favored the run on offense in the past—will adapt to Peyton Manning’s laser-rocket arm.
