Hello again guys!
Of course this is another huge game against Denver. There are more than a few keys to come out with a win against the Broncos. The most important will be the offensive line vs the Denver pass rush. They have to keep Ben upright not only to win, but for his health.
I hate to sound like captain obvious but Ben is a huge key. I feel that he will need to play his best game of the season. It doesn't have to be statisticaly, but he will have to be more accurate and efficient than he has been all year. He will need to get rid of the ball more quickly in this game due to their rush. This will be the game to throw the ball away if absolutely nothing is there.
They also argueably have the best secondary in football. Ben can still take his deep shots to loosen them up, but he will have to be much more patient in this one. Watching Denver's game vs Oakland, there was alot of mugging going on by their corners that wasn't called. Ben will have to be aware of this. With Talib, Harris, Robie, and Ward our receivers will win some and lose some.
I expect Denver to put high detail on our receivers as Seattle did, so I feel that the X- factors in the passing game will be Wheaton and Miller. It will come down to if Wheaton can win his matchup with Robie. I also see Miller being key in exploiting the middle as I expect Ward to give the corners safety help.
D.Williams will also be key. We will have to make Denver respect the run as we don't want Ben throwing it 50 times or more putting him more at risk for sacks or injury. On defense we will need our pass rush to show up and rattle Osweiler. We have to make him get rid of it before he wants to cause errant passes.
I know that Denver has not scored much, but in this game the very well can. They have a nice array of weapons with Thomas, Sanders, and Davis. The secondary will have to make changes for this one. There is no way at no time should they have Blake lined up on the outside vs Thomas or Sanders. Thomas is too big and strong for Blake, and Sanders will absolutely abuse him with his route running all day.
Cockrell should be matched up against Thomas. Cockrell has the height and speed to matchup with Thomas. Even though Thomas is too strong for him, Sanders isn't a good matchup for Cockrell because of Sanders' precise route running. Cockrell is still rather raw and Sanders will take advantage of that.
I would then rotate Gay and Boykin from the outside to the slot on Sanders to give him different looks. Sanders knows this defense and he knows Gay and his tendencies as well. I know Gay knows Sanders and his tendancies as well, but I still would rotate Gay and Boykin on Sanders to change things up on him.
Here's hoping we get the win!
