Bucky Brooks: Five part plan for Broncos to beat Panthers


Recommended Posts

http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000000628637/article/super-bowl-50-fivepart-plan-for-broncos-to-beat-panthers

1. Make Cam Newton win from the pocket - because he struggles there
2. Keep the ball in front of the defense - don't allow big passing plays
3. Convince Peyton Manning to be a true game manager - keep score low with long drives
4. Use C.J. Anderson and Ronnie Tillman early and often - run the ball a lot
5. Win the turnover battle - because losing the turnover battle is bad

Apparently next week there will be a similar article from the Panthers perspective.

The fact that we have the best run game AND the #1 scoring offense forces these prognosticators to speak out of both sides of their mouths.  Not only could we win a shoot out, but let's say Denver takes away the deep ball...we can win a 17-10 game too.  This team literally defies all logic when it comes to your typical football analysis. I love it!

1. Well that sounds simple, good thing the other 17 teams we've played didn't do that. And Cam and his 35 TDs from the pocket definitely struggles there.

2. This sounds a bit like a non sequitur. But don't allow big passing plays, good advice there Bucky.

3. This is actually decent advice. I don't think the Broncos have the personnel on offense to do this though.

4. This sort of dovetails into Point 3. I don't think these running backs and their offensive line will be able to do this though.

5. Win the turnover battle: Sounds easy enough, Bucky earning his keep with insightful commentary there!

Honest Opinion.  Our Offense will struggle if they can contain / pressure Cam with just 4 or 5 guys.

 

Cams worst games ( lol not this year)  have come when pressure and contain were one and the same.   If you get pressure but no contain you're screwed.

    • I think everyone says Mike Evans because of size, but really they have different strengths and play styles.  Tmac is better on intermediate routes and not nearly as good at contested catches. 
    • At this point, it is criminal to go into the 2026 training camp/OTA's with XL penciled in as a #2 WR. The team must upgrade, either through free agency or the draft. If he cannot give 100% effort on significantly less snaps as a #4-6 WR(players like Tremayne have done that consistently) then I don't think you have a player worth rostering beyond the trade deadline. Offensively, we eventually have to upgrade to an NFL starting caliber C. It's been almost the length of time from Gross to Ikey since Kalil retired and we have below average to terrible C play. Love Mays as a BC-esque utility backup but he will never be an above average long term starting C.  The TE room is one of the worst in the NFL but it's a low usage position in this offense, so the investments are likely to be small, if any. I would never expect to see an elite TE in a Dave Canales offense. 100% agree on OL depth. We actually aren't bad there but BC will be gone, Mays is a UFA, Corbett is a UFA and Zavala has been both injured and bad. We have to bolster that depth again or resign guys like Mays and Corbett to keep that depth somewhat stable.
    • Bingo. The dude is a baller no doubt and I'd love to have him in a vacuum but like you said he's gonna fetch a haul so the only teams it really makes sense for are teams with an overall good roster who they feel an edge rusher like Crosby would out them over the top in terms of competing for SBs. I'd be looking st teams like the Pats, Bucs, Ravens, Seahawks, etc. It wouldn't be shocking to see him moved. He may be more valuable to a rebuilding team in the form of the draft assets he'd fetch than he is on the field. He should still have several more good years in the tank at 28 but by the time the Raiders can reasonably expect to rebuild he's gonna be on the decline.
