God see all things its not over tell god say its over god is god and broncos is broncos the broncos is going to win the next 10 games god have the last say AMEM.

Am I the only one that thinks it is possible (especially for a QB) to be too big? I think TT needs to cut some weight, on that TD run he was running standing straight up and looked pretty slow, he ran kinda awkwardly – I think because he's so big … and did you see the picture of him flexing in the endzone? He's as big as linebackers! I bet he is bigger than Wesley Woodyard, and I think that kinda hurts his mobility. Maybe I'm wrong though, anybody else have any thoughts on this?

Tebow is one of the fastest guys on the Broncos, he doesnt need to lose weight.

The run game’s lanes shrank as every series passed without exploiting the deep middle. This, in turn, allowed Jim Leonhard to cheat up like a smaller version of LeRoy Butler (whom Shannon Sharpe’s presence in the Super Bowl kept 12 yards from the line-of-scrimmage).

Tight End’s help running-backs more by their receiving potential than their blocking ability.

This fundamental truth was utterly ignored by McDaniels since he came here (and wanted to show he did something different than his mentor, Belichick).

He chose to make double blocking TE’s his signature and, although I was skeptical, I gave it some time to see how it would do.

Now maybe I’m being unfair to the scheme and under-estimating what two Dwayne Carswell’s would bring as a result? I suppose that’s possible, as I definitely don’t know as much about football as a coach’s son like McDaniels does. However, we’re stuck with who we have at that position and there only seems to be one other option (unless Jeb Putzier is still available somewhere)?

But now that even a relatively-healthy offensive-line and a productive passing-game– albeit to the wide-receivers– isn’t changing the equation…

…. Well, I have to wonder: even if Gronkowski and Quinn never missed a block on every linebacker they were assigned to, would they still not be able to counter-act the half-step of anticipation that defenses get when they see a second TE besides Graham in the game?

You see, a Safety can attack from any direction (and EVERY team also has a pair of outside linebackers that can attack from either side). Thus, we can never know where the added pass-rusher is coming from. So, even hitting the hot-read to an open wide-receiver is no guarantee of moving the chains, if we’re forced to throw four yard passes in the slot to Royal or Gaffney.

A smart and gutsilyy blitzing team like the Jets doesn’t lose their nerve if one blitz is correctly picked up and exploited. No, just like the Eagles, they understand that the benefits ultimately outweigh the cost, and they happily test the concept instead of doing it once or twice a game to appease the 2-3 fans who mention it.

McDaniels, like Shanahan, is not in that category (since, unlike Andy Reid, he believes exclusively that offensive-play calling is his best way to control the contest). Since he sees the players as X’s and O’s– instead of remembering the impact that added pressure can bear on all eleven players– he automatically expects that hitting the “hot-read” is as easy in games as it is on the chalk-board or in practice.

But, even if they pump in high volumes of crowd-noise, outlaw wearing shorts and require full-contact hitting in practice that doesn’t even allow the QB to wear the no-hit red-jersey, it still wouldn’t be the same as the pressure of an actual regular-season contest. Just ask any NFL quarterback what amount of their mistakes are ultimately motivated by oncoming pressure.

But this is more than just the nervous QB afraid to step up into the pocket. This is also the offensive line forever retreating and wondering which gap the pressure will come from (instead of focusing on technique). Which double-team to abandon? What delayed second-level blitzer is more important to worry about? Etc… etc…

It also affects the WR’s, who are coached to chop off a pattern if they read a pre-snap blitz (in order to present an open target facing the QB…. before the pass is even thrown). This takes out half the patterns in the playbook and shortens the remaining ones so the chance that Orton throws an INT to a WR who never turns around is greatly diminished.

Maybe Orton doesn’t have McDaniels’ confidence on not hanging-up passes over-the-deep-middle (or maybe McDaniels simply lacks confidence that Kyle can buy enough time– a la’ Roethlisberger– to uncork a pass to a streaking single-covered or wide-open WR)?

Which is why it was shrewd to draft Tebow. For he will hopefully someday be the kind of big, fast QB that can not only buy time, but also run for first-downs… like Elway used to do.

However, until that happens, we are stuck with a halved playbook and defenses that know how effective added pressure can be on a team with no receivers capable of fighting for passes over the middle.

Or should I say, no receivers capable of fighting for passes down the deep-seam since McDaniels refuses to use Demaryius Thomas as a TE instead of Quinn or Gronkowski.

Yesterday, he tried to throw to Graham with predictably-poor results.

But if Josh had simply traded Alphonso Smith BEFORE THE DRAFT, we could have alleviated this problem altogether (by drafting an Aaron Hernandez, Jimmy Graham or Tony Moeaki-type target at TE).

Unfortunately, Josh was giving another season to proving the wisdom of drafting exclusively-blocking Richard Quinn in the second-round (instead of cutting his losses by adding someone who could catch and, thus, keep defenses honest).

Even an Anthony Fasano would have been good enough. And I was hoping that the trade with Miami could include him to replace Scheffler at receiving TE.

But another training-camp opportunity with Quinn was decided to be more important than a first training camp to prepare a TE (as New England did with both of their rookie TE’s and many teams have successfully done with theirs).

Now we are seeing the inevitable results. So, although not as strong as the Ravens and the Jets, don’t be surprised to see Safety Michael Huff and Tyvon Branch cheating up to exploit their lack of worry across from them.

If only Josh would continue using Tebow more to move the ball AND sert Demaryius Thomas as a second TE, we could really see Bay-Bay out-jump defenders when he doesn’t have to worry about getting both feet inbounds.

As watching Antonio Gates should have taught us Denver fans, this kind of over-the-middle target draws double-teams and opens up man-to-man coverage on the wideouts (without help over the top).

But Josh is apparently set in his mind that Demaryius’s development as a wide-receiver would somehow be forever altered and polluted by this experiment (even though we already have 3-5 other WR’s if he was switched).

Considering that it was his oversight in not giving us anyone besides Quinn and Gronkowski at this vital position, its like he’s conceding the season rather than trying something he never planned nor conceived of.

I’ll like the higher draft-choice that inevitably results from this lapse (and, luckily, I haven’t spent hundreds of dollars paying for game tickets to Invesco).

But shouldn’t he, at least, try it (rather than dismissing it out-of-hand)?

Ex-basketball player Wesley Duke was taught the position by ex-coach Tim Brewster and was making incredible catches his first year as a Bronco (before an injury ended that promising experiment).

And Thomas is clearly big, strong, fast and sure-handed enough.

Too bad, we have a coach who’s unwilling to try.

If he did– and he also allowed Tebow to throw or lateral the ball when he comes in on second-down– defenses would have much more to be concerned about.

Its just too bad that Pat Bowlen can’t propose that the Rules Committe change these restrictively-ancient and out-of-date QB substitution rules.

If we could simply shuttle in Tebow for Orton, we’d have 11-on-11 and not have to ignore Orton being uncovered (as he was against the Jets on the penultimate drive of the game).

we need to find a way to keep Moreno healthy because for some reason everyone is running better now that hes back

I know he has good speed, and I am his biggest fan, but I think he's a little to chunky
