In a game that the fans of Mile High Denver has been waiting for since the schedules were released. The Saints are a team that are well respected in the NFC, in which some say is the toughest conference in FNG..So can we say opening week STATEMENT?? Yep.
The Broncos played the game plan that they wanted to, a well balanced run attack with enough passing to keep the Saints honest on D, "We were happy with the way we played today, we played well and didn't give up any big plays to the Saints big play offense.", said the Broncos Defensive Captain, Von Miller. The Broncos defensive unit gave Saints QB Johnson issues all day trying to get the ball in the air. Pressure of often and hard. CB K.Webster opened the season with 2 picks, which both came in key situations. "I just tryed to be where I needed to be at all times, it just worked out."
Next on the schedule....the Ravens, who beat the Broncos last season, so expect Denver to turn it on..
The Denver Broncos didn't have many holes to fill, but had several question marks coming out of last season. "We lost several games that we should of won last year," said Coach Nation at todays pre-season press conference, "We made the playoffs, but lost to a scrappy Jets team, and let the game slip away in the 4th. That game has set hard all off-season." The Broncos had the 4th rated defense going into that game and gave up almost 300 yards rushing, which this off-season, they have added the peices for that not to repeat itself.
"We are excited and can't wait to get this thing started, the competition in FNG is tough, but we have only missed the playoffs 3 times in 23 seasons, and won 18 divison titles, so we are ready to take back the West!", said Brock Osweiler.
This season schedule is going to be tough, but if it were easy, we would be playing in the AFC East...This is not the East, its the AFC West. Texans aren't going to their 6th SB in a row this season, its the Broncos time, and that time is now! Saddle up, the Broncos are rolling!
