The Denver Broncos Strong Start
Who would have thought that the Denver Broncos would open up the season with two wins? I mean, there was a lot of drama and changes with the Broncos during the off-season. Following a disappointing finish last season, it looks like Denver football is back.
Ironically, it’s all happening without their long standing coach, Mike Shanahan. New head coach Josh McDaniel has overcome adversity when you consider the fact that the team lost its top quarterback and wide receiver.
Denver Broncos Coach McDaniel is the youngest coach in the NFL, and his lack of experience hasn’t seemed to matter so far. The Broncos have looked great through two weeks. Even Broncos fans weren’t happy with the new coach in town.
WR Brandon Marshall was very close to leaving the team as well. While Marshall may be immature to an extent, there is no denying his on-field ability. No coach wants to lose their best two players before the team even takes the field.
Maybe this team is better than people let on, and maybe the Broncos’ win in Cincinnati was more difficult than people believed it to be. The Bengals looked pretty legit to me with Carson Palmer, Ochocinco and Cedric Benson running the offense.
QB Kyle Orton is the prototypical “game manager”, while he won’t put up the tremendous statistical performances like Drew Brees or Peyton Manning, Orton won’t lose many games either.
The team’s 27-6 win against the Cleveland Browns on Sunday was highlighted by a franchise-high four sacks in one half by Elvis Dumervil.
Now that’s serious. If Denver can keep this level of play up on defense, they’re going to surprise a lot of fans. We all know that defense wins championships!
