The Broncos have literally tipped the scales on offense.

In an era around the league when defensive coordinators have been forced — by pass-happy offenses and an offense-friendly rulebook — to lean toward smaller, faster defensive schemes, the Broncos have pumped things up.

Sunday they used seven offensive linemen in what was essentially a three-tight end formation. They often used the 305-pound Chris Clark and the 304-pound Tony Hills as two of the three tight ends.

Thanks Carol I hadn't realized that they used the heavy formations as much as they did. People complain about our offensive coordinator lacking imagination. I don't think so.

Yup. If theyre going to criticize mccoy for TT's failures, he needs to get the accolades as well. Especially for this playoff win.

I like the play calling much more. There were several 1st down passes, TEs were running routes and lots of play action.
