Broncos reveal a key trait

[Denver Native (Carol)]

There’s one big reason to believe that this season is going to be special for the Denver Broncos.

It’s not the team’s 3-0 record, although that certainly is a great way to jumpstart a trip to Santa Clara in February. It’s not a swarming defense, but that is definitely a phase of the game that has been far from dominant in recent years. And it’s not even a Peyton Manning-led offense, which showed much-needed signs of life in Week 3.

In 2015, the thing that is going to put the Broncos over the top isn’t a player, coach, system or game plan. Instead, the difference maker this time around is a more aggressive attitude.

To put it more bluntly, this Denver team is better equipped to win it all because they finally have some cojones.

Sometimes, the only way to accomplish bold things is to take bold actions. And on Sunday night in Detroit, that’s what the Broncos did, in every way imaginable.

A lot of good points in this article. Here is one that I like:


But none of those moments were the gutsiest things that happened on Sunday night. Instead, that occurred before the Broncos ever took the field; it occurred during meetings this week at Dove Valley.

From the outset against Detroit, Denver’s offense wasn’t under center, instead letting Manning line up in the pistol or shotgun formations to make him more comfortable. It was an effective move, as the quarterback had his best game of the season, completing 31-of-42 passes for 324 yards and two touchdowns.

That was a ballsy decision by Gary Kubiak, something that not every head coach would do. Far too many football minds are hell bent on running their system, forcing a square peg into a round hole. But the Broncos first-year leader hasn’t shown that stubborn trait; instead, he changed on the fly, adjusting to what works best for his personnel. Kubiak deserves major kudos for checking his ego at the door and making the necessary changes to get Denver’s offense going.

That mindset is what’s going to make 2015 different for the Broncos. This isn’t a team that’s going to play prevent defense, take a knee or stubbornly stick to a system. Instead, they’re going to turn their talented defense loose, go for the win when the opportunity arises and do whatever it takes to move the football.

And that’s refreshing to see. For the first time in a long time, Denver’s coaching staff has some cojones.

Much as I love and respect the guy, this is also one of the big things distinguishing Shanahan from Kubiak. This staffs bare EXISTENCE shows tremendous humility and respect, especially from Wade: This is a former HC working for his former backup QB, in turn working for his former starting QB. In the unlikely event Cutler ever wound up as a GM and hired Orton as his HC, does anyone think McDumbass would accept a job offer from them? Or that either would MAKE such an offer?

Sometimes the fear of failure can be your worst enemy. This staff doesn't operate with that mindset.
