Dude was a hoops player, he had to develop. Looks like he has. But you're right, it's only one game.

Welker no doubt makes the team better. But their defense is still a fraud. Good offenses are going to be able to shoot it out with Denver. And their lack of a running game will catch up to them. It always catches up to Manning.

When Miller comes back, they'll have the best pass-rushing LB in the league and Woodyard is an excellent coverage linebacker. DRC is a great cover corner and Harris is probably the best NCB in the league. Moore, despite his idiocy in the playoffs, is still a good safety and is young enough that he will continue to improve. They have a hole or two for sure, but so does everyone else. In a shootout situation, the Broncos are equipped as well or better than any other team in the NFL on defense. The defense is built to play from ahead. The Broncos are a very good team, provided Manning stays healthy. If he gets hurt and they have to rely on a crap running game, then the defenses problems on the interior will get exposed. With a healthy Manning, however, that defense is pretty outstanding for them.

So it appears. Good point.

Maybe their defense wouldn't work well for our offensive personnel, but it works perfectly for theirs. It's built to stop teams from passing when they get behind. The only question was whether or not DRC could hold fast against top-tier #2 WRs. Well that's about what Smith qualifies as and DRC absolutely owned Smith last night. That defense, while not 'traditionally' dominant, is absolutely perfect for their team. It's most certainly not a fraud.

Exactly.
If you have an inconsistent QB, go get a burner or two, maybe a jump ball guy, and get to chucking downfield. Tebow throwing short made no sense - the guy was as likely to miss a 10 yard pass as he was to miss a 30 yarder. So increase the reward so that it's commensurate with the risk and suddenly your offense actually makes sense. The Ravens have the running game to keep secondaries honest, as did the Broncos when Tebow/McGahee were making noise. When the Giants are at their best, they have guys like Jacobs/Bradshaw forcing the safeties to respect the run. Inconsistent QBs need to fire downfield. It's the opposite of how things are historically done and I think the common wisdom here is just wrong.

Totally. The last thing a puncher wants to do is get involved in a boxing match. Conversely, Jamaal and Bowe can take a ten yard pass to the house about as easily as a forty yarder. So with Smith you have an offense where the reward is the same but you greatly reduce the risk. |
