I'm betting Denver gets off to its worst start in years - even though many Donx fans think that this year's team will be better than the past two because VJ is gone. Like I said earlier, NOBODY will be mistaking this Denver team for a playoff team this season due to early season success at home. |
So, I'll say this... I do believe I have more trust in this coaching staff compared to what we had with Vance. Vic is a smart guy and has what appears to be great minds around him and that's what matters.
I like Scangarello's upside and the fact they were able to lure Munchak over to fix the OL, that's one of their biggest needs of correction.
Defensively, we'll see what Donatell and the new staff can do with the defense.
Several new key players that look nice. Will they win 10+ games? Likely not, but is there a reasonable expectation to surpass 5 and 6 wins? I think so.
Fix that OL... and they have a nice set of young RBs, WRs and TEs that they can do a lot with, so that's promising. Consistency with the younger players will be the challenge. Can Munchak fix Bolles? We shall see and will be nice to see what Risner and James can bring.
Lindsay may see a decrease if they changes on offense put Freeman more in a lead or truly dual role and I don't think that's a bad thing. Sutton, Hamilton, Sanders will be a good trio for Flacco and the addition of Fant with a healthy Jake Butt (big question) gives them potentially they're most dynamic set of playmakers in a few years.
Defensively, I think they've addressed some key areas and will be improved.
We'll see what happens as camps open up. Brutal schedule for sure...
