Bronc24 Posted October 27, 2012 Posted October 27, 2012 The more I look at this team, the more I think we are closer to the playoffs than we think. Honestly, I think if we had a different coaching staff, a QB who was accurate, and a LB corps, we would be damn good. I think the D is handcuffed by scheme and lack of talent at the LB position. We have sent only 3 or 4 rushers on 82% of defensive snaps, with very limited success. When do we put in blitz packages? Our LBs are undersized and brutal vs the run. All of this makes our DBs look terrible, but I think with a consistent effective pass rush and ability to stop the run, the defensive backfield looks much better. Offensively, I think the o line is solid, we have great backs and WRs who are better than many think. Chandler is a decent TE. Of course that brings us to Fitz, who's accuracy and lack of deep arm strength has been chronicled enough on here. Why we continuously put out 5 WR sets and put the onus on Fitz is beyond me. Again, I think this takes away from the strength of our team. There are building blocks there. If we prioritize the coaching staff, QB and LB positions in the offseason, I think we can be very good. Reading that last statement, I see how tall an order this will be.
