I really think the Broncos will be over 500 this season Here are 10 reasons why.

1.)  The players will like and respect Fox at the end they had lost that for McD (worth 2 wins)

2.)  We will have 2 more pass rushers than last year that can actually get to the QB. ( worth 1 win)

3.)  We are due to  have a year that is not decimated by injuries last year starting the season without your best OL and DE was a huge set back.( worth 1 win )

4) We will run the ball was at last years TC and this year There is a huge difference. Franklin is a huge tackle and from what I see Knoshon is the 4th best RB and Lance Ball 5th. will be fun to see how that plays out but watch the young backs in preason. ( worth 1 win)

5.) Better Defensive scheem and coaching last year we lost to SF and one other game Oakland due partly to totally blown coverages basically TE left uncovered for long range TD's. ( worth 1 Win)

6.) Less pressure on Orton because we can run the ball which leads to less 3rd and long. ( no change)

7.) Much better LB play DJ at his most natural position. Two natural mike backers competing for the job and a future pro-bowler oposite Doom. If you remember my concern was never as much DL as it was LB's obviously EFX feel the same way. ( worth 1 win)

8.) Better safety play Hill already gone the rooks must luck good ( worth .5 a win)

9) OL will be much better biggest improvement comes in a lines 2nd year together plus Clady is healthy. They will protect Franklin with a TE to his side for pass blocking but he wiil pancake some people run blocking. ( worth 1 win)

10.) my predictions are always correct. (worth 1 win)

That's 8 more wins than last year giving the 2011 Broncos a 12- 4 record (that;s what they are until their not)
