Jets game thoughts

Despite a game that got away, there were plenty of notables that shed a positive light on Denver's future

 

A)  Rushing offense sighting.  Denver ran for 145 yards (were avg 51 yds/game).  Knowshon ran fair, but overall the team ran pretty well - which is about 10x better than they had this season. Oh and against the 4th best rushing defense in the league.

 

B) Rush defense did a solid job against the top rushing team in the league - 36 yds less than their avg.  This w/o Ayers and Dawkins.

 

C) Hunter played great.  Nice run stopping and INT.  Got some pressure also

 

D) Cox is growing up nicely.  Sure he gave up some catches but he played a very good game/

 

E) Defensive and Offensive schemes for most of the game were very good.  There were several excellent drives that ate up clock.  The defense had one bad drive and one bad call that hurt them (14 pts). I even liked the Tebow sets to come in and pick up yards on the ground.  I see a couple of passes out of those in future games.  Orton is master of this offense, I would like more games with no huddle in it.  Glad to see it early.

 

**F) Late add:  the O-line played extremely well and DT looks healthy.    Both will get even better against the softer competition coming up.

 

Frustrating loss? yes.  Do I still think we can make the playoffs? thanks to KC and SD, yes.  10 games to go.  Looking forward to them.
