During a year of reconstruction, the Denver Broncos Done to the generic round of the playoffs while most of the experts have won them five games or less. Broncos are more than a few steps in the right direction, but there is still work to do to build a championship team worthy of raising the Lombardi trophy.
Unfortunately for country broncos, the Chiefs of Kansas City are back in the Super Bowl in search of the first three peats in the history of the league against ultra talent Philadelphia Eagles. Although it fears that broncos fans will see a revenge match of the Super Bowl a few years ago, Denver would be wise to explain why these two teams were able to defeat the competition of the playoffs and return to the Super Bowl … Another times .
The chiefs and the eagles have a multitude of talents along the offensive and defensive lines, which is essential to dictate each match. The Eagles, in particular, are loaded, with the best classified offensive line and the third best defensive line by Professional football focus.
The offensive interior of Kansas City is the best of NFL, with Creed Humphrey, Joe Thuney and Trey Smith Stonedalling the opposition, allowing the racing game and Patrick Mahomes to flourish. The broncos trench game has improved considerably compared to previous years, in particular on the offensive line, ranked second in total by PFF.
The only place that Denver should try to upgrade is the center, because Luke Wattenberg is at best usable. Zach Strief has done an exceptional job of training this group, granting only 24 bags on the quarter recruit Bo Nix.
Although the racing game was almost nonexistent, this was due to a lack of power in the Broncos stable. Saquan Barkley is an exceptional back which is in consideration for MVP, and the emphasis has placed on the construction of its offensive line and the addition of tight and wide -ended ends with the desire to block it makes it even brighter.
Defensively, the broncos front has also experienced an exceptional year, with six defenders ending with five or more bags: Nik Bonitto (13.5), Jonathon Cooper (10.5), Zach Allen (8.5), John Franklin- Meyers (7.0), Jonah Elliss (5.0) and Dondrea Tillman (5.0). Overall, Denver’s defense established a 63 -bag deductible record, more than even the historic defense No Fly Zone, which had 52 in 2015. Allen is the only defensive line player to be discussed as a real All-Pro or MVP, but it is often overlooked.
However, broncos cannot count on the seconds and the defensive backs to create pressure and obtain bags forever. The Eagles have proven that launching money and draft choices on the defensive line is worth it.
It is probably controversial, but the broncos have no rusher superstar, even with Bonitto reaching the conversation of the defensive player of the year. If he reproduces his production from 2024 and improves considerably as a race defender, he will reach the status of superstar.
Broncos must adjust their philosophy to the way Eagles and Chiefs have built their offensive and defensive lines. The matches are won and lost in the trenches, and Denver discovered it after being intimidated by the Buffalo bills in the playoffs.
If broncos want to be sustainable suitors like the two Super Bowl teams, they will have to start by following a similar approach on their two lines.
