You hope with more time to work with the receivers he has that the chemistry in the red zone clicks. Hell, he hit McClain right in the hands, and McClain dropped it. He hit Bowe right in the numbers, and Bowe dropped it. You hope more timing due to more practice together makes those become catches for scores.
Without doing the research, he was pretty good with the Bronco's early. Then they started getting rid of all of his receivers and bringing in young guys. Red Zone efficiency is going to go down when you get rid of a Brandon Marshall and replace him with a rookie.
