After reading today's article in the post (http://www.denverpost.com/broncos/ci_20335178/tight-ends-could-be-hot-commodity-upcoming-nfl) I'm even more convinced the NFL is becoming a game of physical mismatches, much like the NBA. Signing two FA tight ends coupled with the two we drafted last year there is a strong suspicion that Manning will be seeing multiple bigs on the field most of the game. McDaniels tried to do much the same with hybrid linebackers in terms of creating physical mismatches. Even McCoy added an extra Big on the O-line at times last year for the same reason. The NFL appears to be on the cusp of a paradigm shift that may change the face of football if this writer's guess is right. To put this concept in perspective picture yourself as a 6 ft. 190 lb. defensive back being forced to cover players a half a foot and 60 lbs. heavier all over the field, including deep. Times, they are a changing.
