I enjoyed Woody Paige‘s Sherlock Holmes piece on the Broncos‘ gameplan, right up til the end.  Keep things simple on offense, but employ more Tim Tebow.  That is a mystery.

“The past is behind, learn from it. The future is ahead, prepare for it.” One of the many questions the Broncos face entering 2010, is can the “old” defensive line play at a high level, and not wear down?
