    While I despise this RBBC crap, I don't believe Lindsay should be used more than he already is as a runner. You are correct when you say they should get him more involved in the passing game.
    I had hoped that Musgrave would be good as OC, but I've not been impressed. Agreed that he doesn't seem to utilize the strength of his talent (arguably the best offensive talent the Broncos have had across the board in a long time), and he seems too focused on trying to do the unexpected.

    I think Lindsey needs more touches, but those should be in the passing game, not just more rushes.

    Fortunately, the defense has been a bend, don't break, type of defense (25th in yards, 12th in points allowed), but the schemes he runs just don't seem anywhere as effective as Wade, and the drop off was immediate with nearly the same players on defense.

    We were 28th in rushing defense the last year Wade was here.

    The problem is Harris is the only corner who is exceptional at press coverage.

    The 6 yard TD was almost more impressive than his 65 yard TD.

    You aren't lying.

    That change of directions on a dime and then the BURST that he hit the hole with immediately following the change in directions. That was freaking nuts.

    True. Making matters worse is Woods and VJ to some extent don't like press coverage. Look how thay had both CHJ and Talib playing off man the majority of the time last year.

    I think Jano had something to do with that too. Jano lit him up HARD at one point in the game and had him seeing stars.

    Also true, however it may have been due to how poor our pass rush was last year. Press man results in a lot of big plays if it takes 3.5 seconds to get to the quarterback.

    You have to remember that the yardage stat is probably a bit skewed based on the offenses we've faced: Chiefs x2, Steelers, Chargers, Rams. I don't think there's a defense in the league that would be ranked very high after facing that gauntlet.

    Absolutely, the fact that he went right, it was completely stacked up and he was able to see the huge hole to the left, make the lateral move, and then use his burst before anyone could fill it, was massively impressive.

    You can understand why he's so pissed that he wasn't invited to the combine or drafted.

    Good point, and the fact that we've kept the score under control facing them as been impressive. We also what gave up 300 yards rushing to the Jets or something like that.

    Right. Upon reflection, I wish I wouldn't have used the word "almost". It WAS more impressive. The little delay, then the burst to his left through the hole. Most backs would have followed the lead blocker into a no gain.

    He had a couple change of directions on the 65 yarder that were pretty impressive. Not many guys could have done what he did:

    His change of direction and burst remind me of Ladanian Thomlinson.
