Broncos top priority against Panthers isn't what you think

[Kuhndog94]

Another thing that hurt us is getting to the line with less than 5 seconds left on the play clock.

Cam had no time to check out of plays or adjust the protection.

at this point if you still hate shula you are just a bitter person.......

 

he didn't tell tolbert to fumble twice, or ginn to let a ball go through his hands, nor rb's to miss assignments......

establishing the run will slow down the pass rush too. i would love to see some draw plays off guard to take advantage of denver sending speed around the edges.

@Jeremy Igo where else have you seen pieces on blue dog blitzing? i forget where i heard the term from originally (it might've been eugene robinson actually) but i had a hard time finding sources on it.

We should have traded Shula to the Browns alongside Redfern.

How can I pie you twice?

Is blue dog different than green dog?

The other side of this coin is that it's not just that we produced so many rushing yards last year, but that we also PREVENTED so many rushing yards for our opponents. Barring Jared Allen, we've still got the same rushing defense we fielded last year.

Shutting down the opponents rushing game and keeping ours going wins the possession battles, time and ball control. Our team was purposefully built to do this and Rivera had it working like a charm last year. If he can keep it up, we'll be looking at one of the classic teams of the day.

This ought to be fun!

The American Way. Make a decision and never ever learn, evolve, or adjust it over time. Then become more entrenched in that opinion or decision.

After rewatching parts of the game yesterday, there were some times when we did this. I saw Ware go flying by as JStew or Tolbert went past him through the line. They over pursued a few times. But Norwell getting hurt may have had a bigger impact on that aspect than we realize.

I think it's green dog blitzes, actually.

There was an article written just after the SB, at MMQB, where the scheme was first mentioned:

Does the barn have enough room for these

Panthers are a run first team so it shouldn't be a surprise that Denver will try to stop our rushing attack. If we wanna win then we will need to win in the passing game, with Olsen, KB and co. I see no reason why we shouldn't do well.

Bronco have great CB but our WR can use their size or Ginn can use his speed to beat them.

..and that, is the issue with Shula...the 'we do what we do' one trick pony 

I dont understand how people still feel this way.. its so unfair.  One trick pony?  Kubiak and others have talked about how we are the most difficult team to prepare for because we give so many different looks.  Pay attention and you will see that we are not a one trick pony. 

I dont want to talk about SB50... but there were plays to be made and we didnt make them.  At what point does it fall on the players?  At what point do you give some credit to the defense we were playing?  They went to the superbowl for a reason...and the reason was that they had one of the best defenses of all time.  But since that was the last game we played, people are gonna jump back on the Shula hate wagon..
