In regard to the Denver Broncos' defense, I'm still not concerned about the defense
overall. They played very aggressively. With aggressiveness -- what was the Spiderman line.
With great power comes great responsibility.
With great aggressiveness comes bad penalties. And great risks.
And they were over-aggressive. They went offsides. There was the penalty on the field goal. I'm
not as concerned about that. That was stupid human tricks at the very end.
But from a scheme standpoint, they get a good pass rush from four guys. They were consistently
blitzing the Indianapolis Colts. Five, six guys. And they kept getting burned and Andrew
Luck -- although he hasn't played well at the beginning of the season -- yesterday,
he looked like Andrew Luck.
Andrew Luck knew exactly where his hot receiver was. He was hitting them on crossing routes.
He was hitting guys in the flat. The linebackers were nowhere to be seen because they were
blitzing much of the time.
I think the Denver Broncos got outcoached by the Indianapolis Colts. I thought they
were too aggressive yesterday and they should have kept the linebackers and the safeties
at home and should have rushed four and make Andrew Luck work for those pass completions
instead of giving him wide open running backs and wide open tight ends and wide open wide
receivers.
