30 Rushing TD's? - It's possible!

In 1983 Eric Dickerson put his mark on the NFL with 1808 yards in his rookie season. Dickerson was given the ball 390 times that season and was clearly the work horse that L.A. Rams needed. Dickerson finished that season with 18 Rushing TD's and 2 receiving TD's. Can Knowshon Moreno make his mark on the NFL in a similar way?
Today the NFL is a different game. The speed, size and strength of the defenses makes it almost impossible to have one back carry the entire load. Teams are clearly taking more running backs and adding first rounders when they have selected a first rounder not too long ago. To wit, the Colts selected J. Addai then this year selected Donald Brown. The Panthers selected Johnathan Stewart after selecting DeAngelo Williams just a few years before. Indeed teams are realizing that in order to keep their running backs fresh they need to have more than one. Enter Hillis and Moreno.
One thing that I eagerly await to see is how a Running Back with Moreno's petigree and talent will fit into the Denver Broncos' Zone Blocking Scheme. In my post Tale of Two Systems, I show the differences in the Patriots version of the Erhardt - Perkins System and the Broncos version of the Bill Walsh West Coast Offense and some of the things that we might be able to expect. The madness of Alex Gibbs is still strong in Mile High Country and I believe that Rick Dennison and Bobby Turner have to be salivating to work with a talent like Knowshon and masher like Hillis.
Rather than focus on yards, which the stat guys will tell you is a foolish measure of success, let's focus instead on Rushing Touchdowns.
In the tenure of Mike Shanahan the stats show that when the Broncos had the highest rushing TD's, they won the most games -
Shanahans top 5 seasons in Denver (Record - Year - Rushing TD's)
14-2 1998 - 26 td's
13-3 96',05' - 20,25
12-4 1997 - 18
11-5 2000 - 21
The worst 5
6-10 1999 - 13 td's
7-9 2007 - 10
8-8 '95,'01,'08 - 14,7,15
Here are the top single season Rushing Touchdown marks -
| 1. | LaDainian Tomlinson | 28 | 2006 | SDG |
| 2. | Shaun Alexander | 27 | 2005 | SEA |
| Priest Holmes | 27 | 2003 | KAN | |
| 4. | Emmitt Smith | 25 | 1995 | DAL |
| 5. | John Riggins | 24 | 1983 | WAS |
Here are the team records for that season -
2006 Chargers - 14-2
2005 Seahawks - 13-3
2003 Chiefs - 13-3
1995 Cowboys - 12-4 (Super Bowl Champs)
1983 Redskins - 14-2
If the Broncos are to reach lofty heights in 2010, I believe it will be sparked by the running game and better red zone efficiency.
It has been noted that Kyle Orton has a better Red Zone efficiency that Jay Cutler did. Couple this with the fact that Hillis and Moreno have the potential in Denver to become scoring machines that add a potent weapon around the goal line. While yards are great, the score is the only thing that matters.
Knowshon Moreno has an uncanny ability to make defenders miss in tight spaces, Peyton Hillis can make you miss with brute force and power. So I ask you, do the Broncos go over the 30 rushing TD mark this year? If the answer is yes, than the Broncos are poised for a drastic improvement and should be in position to make a deep run in the playoffs.
Go Broncos!

Of course
running the football won’t be as easy with a defense stacked against the run with Orton at QB vs. Cutler at QB..

Hey Trabotta
why don’t you stay over at your teams blog and give them your “expert” anaylsis of every situation. You have your own problems with Jay Cutler that you should be worring about. Also the Defense can not stack the box when you have Marshall, Royal, Stokley, Graham, and Scheffler to throw to. If they stack the box they will get burned by the other offensive weapons we have. Orton is going for a non talented offense in Chicago to one of the most talented offensive teams in the league. Orton will by far have better numbers then Cutler this year becuase he has a better talent around him. Cutler will have fun in Chicago throwing to a wannabe WR in devin hester and his college teammate that has yet to catch a pass in the NFL. Cutler will also have fun getting sacked 25+ times will the OLine you have up there while Orton will most likely be sacked less than 15 times. Here is another stat for you. Orton had better numbers than Cutler did for the 1st 8 weeks of the season before he got injured. The coaching staff forced him back too soon and he was never the same.

dont make fun of the time just cause he posted a critical comment
based on the past season, teams have more reason to stack the box against orton than against cutler. while that might only be true for the first game (if orton tears it up), he still has a point.

Welcome to MHR. I was a bit frustrated with the McJaygate affair and actually did a couple posts at Windy City. I really enjoyed my time there and have actually been invited back by one of Windy’s staffers GeauxBears. All the contributers at Windy seemed to be great fans with a lot of class—therefore I asume you do.
When you visit MHR—try to keep it positive—we try to put a focus on the positive.
I really want Jay to have a great career with your team.

One thing to consider
The Broncos have excellent wide outs. I think Denver would be fortunate to see 8 man fronts so our Pro Bowl receivers get one on one coverage. One thing a strong running game will do is make the safties cheat, if they do Marshall and Royal will make you pay!

why
Why is everyone blasting this guy (trfabotta) just because he made a negative comment. He made a legitimate point, he wasn’t trolling. Ok, disagree with what he said and explain why, but don’t blast this guy and treat him like a troll just because he said something you didn’t like. This is the one and only thing that’s starting to annoy me, is that it seems like anytime someone posts a negative comment everyone jumps on them like they’re trolling or something. Chill, people can have opposing opinions…

I am not blasting him nor do I think he was being negative
I do think however that it is an unfair comparison. The Bears have been lacking a receiving threat, with all due respect to Devin Hester, I don’t think the Bears have the receivers or Oline that Denver does. To assume that Orton will struggle is premature as we have not yet seen him in McDaniels system. If opposing defenses stacked the box against him the past then they dared the receivers in single coverage, I will take Marshall, Royal and Stokely in sinlge coverage all day long.

You are right on
Steve O in that the bronco’s definitely have him surrounded with more talent. But if the team stacks the box against the run and brings up their safeties it make it harder to run as well as complete the short to intermediate throws. It opens up things downfield that KO will have to take advantage of to loosen the defense. But in the past he has struggled with his accuracy on those throws downfield.

Wow
trolling because I bring up a differing opinion? I am stating what he was up against with the bears. I didn’t post the same thing on another thread. The other thread was debating with Broncobear the effectiveness of the bears Oline this year which was stated that they wouldn’t be that good which I differed with. This thread remark is completely different. I appreciated your view of the bears and what they were up against but bascially you are incorrect. I am a Bear season ticket holder, I am at every home game and occaisionally road games. Watch every game. If you don’t think that teams were in the box against the bears game in and game out then you were not paying attention. The defenses challenged us because of multiple things, average OLine, WR who were average, and QB who struggled to complete passes longer than 10 yards. His accuracy was a big issue in the 10-20-30 yrd range. Inside of 10 yards he was much better which helped his effectiveness in the red zone. I will actually be rooting very hard for KO to succeed and wish him well. I just don’t think that defenses that know his weaknesses are going to forget about them because he has a better supporting cast.

I have watched every game and charted a lot of them
We will agree to disagree. The Bears problem was with an offense that had a poor gameplan, consistently. Orton’s accuracy was a very different entity than you are assuming. I’ll tell you what – there is going to be an article, stat heavy, with game film analysis. How about if we talk after that?

False
Orton is a better QB that the player MSM has painted him out to be. With McD’s system, Orton’s abilities, a GREAT pass-blocking line and a stacked group of very versitle recieving targets, I think the Bronco passing game can and will make opposing defenses pay for it if they try to stack the box against us this year.
by bailey disciple on May 7, 2009 3:40 PM MDT reply actions 0 recs
Well
you’ll have to convince the other 31 teams in the league that dared him to beat them week in and week out..A great line is only 5 men blocking against a 6-7 man blitz..
by tfrabotta on May 7, 2009 3:47 PM MDT up reply actions 0 recs
If it was that simple...
Well if ALL you had to do is bring 1 more guy than they have blockers to win then methinks we wouldn’t see anything but the blitz.
Hmm…probably more too it than that. I bet you, just guessing, that having smart receivers who know how to cut routes, running backs who can block, and even TEs that can block or catch… why I bet all that would help too.
Tis better not to throw it to the deep receiver but the open receiver.

Are you trying to say other teams always blitzed Orton because he couldn't handle it?
otherwise it doesn’t make sense
by RiG on May 7, 2009 5:52 PM MDT up reply actions 0 recs
You know, around here people use things like reason, stats and logic
I’ve gone over the game film for 2008 multiple times, so I’m not blowing smoke. However – with all due respect, you are. You, as in Chicago, used 2 TE power formations plenty of times, and outside of those used Olsen or Clark on nearly every play, when not using both. That means 6 – 7 blockers. If Forte picks up the blitz properly, that’s 7-8.
On a different thread, you admitted that Tait was terrible, which is true. The line was weak and didn’t block well. Your use of playaction was poor, as I’ve mentioned to you before. Proper use of it is one of the most common defenses against the blitz. The other option, aside from the fact that if your blockers do the job you’re fine, was the use of the no huddle which Orton was running quite well. Your offensive coordinator would inexplicably drop approaches that were working. We had J Bates last year, and we can sympathize, but this pointless attempt to claim that Orton couldn’t throw has gotten old. What you’re saying isn’t accurate. Please either produce some evidence or drop it.

You are proving my point
The Bears had to play alot of double TE because other teams were playing up on the bears and they needed more blocking as well as Forte blocking in the backfield. When the wr were covered he had to throw alot of dump offs to the rb. Here are some stats for you since you asked. 31% of all KO’s completions were to rb on dump offs/screens etc. His completion % without the rb’s was 52% and defenses know this and will play to the QB’s weaknesses. Hopefully surrounding him with more talent will relieve some of this but I have to believe that other teams will watch film on where he struggled and make him prove that he can make the throws first.

Your argument would then have to hold for Denver, who ran a two tight end set constantly because Cutler liked to throw deeper. As you pointed out previously – Chicago had a weak line. That’s why the two tight end set, and it’s a common solution.

As nycbroncosfan just posted:
Jay Cutler completed 33.8% of his throws 21 yards and longer.
Kyle Orton completed 31.6% of his throws 21 yards and longer.
Watching the film, a huge problem is that the Chicago receivers could not get separation. Orton’s longer throws were very similar to Cutlers

A few comments . . .
The first three comments present one of the intriguing angles for the upcoming season, but I wanted to touch on a couple other things. I think it would be great if, as a team, we could score 30 rushing touchdowns. There’s a certain dominance on that side of the ball that a stat like that engenders. However, it will almost assuredly have to be a team stat because as you point out, the days where one guy could do it by themselves may be gone. For some insight into the phenomenon, take a look at the first two carries by Pittman during the game against the Patriots this past season. This was our resident tough guy (besides Hillis) and he got mashed – in fact, he was never the same after this game. Add to this that our current O-line’s strength is pass protection – we got better at the zone blocking as the season progressed, but it’s not where everyone wanted it, where it needs to be and where it was during the TD era.
It's "just" football

No way we score 30 rushing TDs this year
If Shanny wasn’t able to do it then theres no way we are able to this year. I just don’t see it happening. 20 TDs would be a more realistic goal imo.
My prediction for Moreno is 12-1300 yards and 10-12 TDs. Hillis or whoever is our #2 adds another 500-600 yards and 8-10 TDs. Moreno and Hillis are definitely capable of putting up better numbers, I just think there will be a big timeshare between everyone
by purplesocks on May 7, 2009 4:12 PM MDT reply actions 0 recs
I think your rushing predictions are about right
…but what kind of receiving yardage will those two put up?
For comparison, LaDainian Tomlinson’s first year resulted in 1236 rush yards, 367 receiving yds and 10 TDs. Marshall Faulk’s first year gave 1282 rushing yards, 522 receiving and 12 TDs.
It would be wonderful if Moreno was similar to those two, who were both top-five draft choices. But we shouldn’t expect it immediately. Tomlinson flourished in his second year, Faulk about year 5.

Great thought Steve!!
Between Hillis and Moreno we not only could hit thirty rushing TDs…with the improved ST and defense I’m expecting I think it is inevitable. I’m so confident with this that I am thinking of changing my battle cry from:
13-3 Baby !!
to
13-3 rushing 30 TDs !!!

On stacking the box
It might actually be a useful tactic against Denver this year. The Pats system relied a lot on shorter drag routes and picks to get recievers open and allow them then to make yards. Wes Welker last year lead all recievers in yards after catch with nearly 800. Having guys play near the line might shut that down.
It would be amazing to get 30 rushing TDs, but, I still see us using a pass oriented offense. Its what the Pats have used for a majority of seasons now, and its what the NFL is moving towards.

30 TD's
That looks good doesn’t it? those initials and that number. We all still love you TD! But yea, I’ve never been more stoked about a teams potential than I am this year with the team we are fielding. And no better way to get back to winning more games than playing smash mouth clock controlling running football. On 1st down out of the shotgun, Hillis and Moreno in the back field, draw to Moreno, he quickly bursts through the line makes a linebacker miss and picks up 7 yards. 2nd down Hillis and Moreno in the back field, Draw to Hillis, same result except this time there’s a helmet rolling around on the field. Teams will get used to tackling Moreno, than Hillis will get the rock, and if they try to tackle him the same way he’s going to knock them in the middle of the numbers backwards. Than when Moreno gets his hand off these guys will have to adjust again and he’ll side step right past em…Defenses are not going to enjoy playing our Broncos…This is going to be some badass football to watch gents. I agree it was fun to watch us airing it out all game. But I prefer pounding the hell out of a team. Because our running game is going to set up some big plays from Eddie and BMarsh, Slants to the house and short passes turned long! We have a very young Offense and we are scary talented. This is a great time to be a Broncos fan!! Oh and talk about underdogs? The MSM has been talking some mad trash about our FO and whats going on here. Everything is definitely going McD’s way, its us VS. the world. and I think everything is panning out perfectly for the man.

Steve O...Great post!
Opposing defenses…pick your poison.
In defense, wheres our strength; DB’s.
McD, Nolan and McCoys strategy is beautiful and brilliant in its simplicity:
Put up points fast and early. This takes the run out of the game for the opposition. Opposition now must throw. We have a back field of interception makers back there. This then allows us to take some chances on D with blitzes. We get turnovers and picks. We then shut the game down with Hillis and Moreno…..they are tired? Bring in Torain.
This takes our front 7 out of the game, allows them to be aggressive.
NOW….everyone get why Orton is so important? Conversion in the red zone! Cutler’s turnover rate and penchant for turnovers in red zone kill this game plan. Why take the gamble Cutler will change when Orton is already a guy with a proven record in the red zone…and the spread offense.
Thoughts guys?

Since he is a free agent he has been non existent from the media. Don’t think he has had any takers but have to believe he would make a capable back up for someone. He will have to accept being a backup because he no longer has the mental makeup to start for someone. He will have to try and rebuild his confidence.

the problem with this strategy is you still have to stop them early in order to gain that big lead
say we score quickly, then they get the ball and run run run which we arent able to stop again. they could be like jax two years ago and take a 10 min drive to score a TD. then we’re still tied. we score again quickly, then they do the same thing.
we need to stop the run. i think that is the most important thing to do on defense

I would not sya that a 7 point lead is racking up points....
and 7 point lead, unles there is only 2 minutes to go, is not a lead that any team will change their strategy on.
I agree with your thoughts, but i think this defense can do this…we get a 14 point lead early that is what we are after. to stop the run we need to make tackles….first and foremsot…I think at least this defense can do that!

One thing tho, whenever Mike Nolan went to a new team, they quickly became an excellent team at stopping the run.
I don’t know if they became that way because of Nolan, or if they were good at that already? I’m expecting a MUCH improved D all around, but especially against the run, imho!!! Maybe someone has already done some of the “looking” at this??? Imho, we’ll be in the top half (13-15) overall, just my opinion tho! GO BRONCOS!!!

I like your optimism and you will be rewarded. When Knowshon was drafted I called a couple of my Colorado friends to let them know that “Knowshon is coming to your town, to help you party down!” Knowshon is special. He will respect the Darrent Williams jersey # 27 with big game.
I’ve written quite a few blog entries for Bulldawg Illustrated regarding Knowshon. As a UGA fan I’m trying to move on, but I’m resigned to the fact that I’m not going to be able to keep from watching Denver games that I otherwise wouldn’t.
If you want a Dawg fan’s perspective on the great Knowshon Moreno, I’d be pleased if you read mine:

Thanks Andrew!
Indeed, Mr. Moreno is a special talent and person. I am more than elated to have him wear Bronco Orange and Blue! Thanks for the links – great stuff.
