Olandis Gary, Mike Anderson, Reuben Droughns, Quentin Griffin.
These are just some of the guys that were made to look like Gods in the Broncos running game. Was it a product of creative blocking? Or was it Mike Shanahan?
After watching all 0f these guys disappear into the oblivion after leaving Denver, it had to be one or the other. The Broncos have employed a zone blocking scheme for as long as can be remembered, but will it have the same impact with new coach Josh McDaniels?
McDaniels will start fresh this year, as the Broncos have signed no less than three RBs. LaMont Jordan, J.J. Arrington and Correll Buckhalter join the fold, with the likes of Selvin Young and the youngster Peyton Hillis already back there.
It's time to see if the Broncos can run the football or not. Unfortunetly, the trio they signed aren't going to cut it. The only one who has had any success is Jordan, and he is fat and slow. Buckhalter is injury-prone, and Arrington is a straight up bust.
I think the Broncos should stick with what they had a season ago, but contracts have hampered them now, and I expect them to struggle on the ground this year.
In other news...
- Mike Peterson has signed with the Falcons. This is a great move for a young team that has lost two of it's starters from a year ago. Peterson has struggled for a few years, but he wasn't happy with his situation.
- The Jags have signed OT William "Tra" Thomas. This should prove to be a good move for the Jags, as they lost former starter Khalif Barnes. Thomas has been a rock for the Eagles for a long time, and he is as solid as they come.
