<p>Who got more playing time? Who got less?</p> <p>The <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.milehighreport.com/">Denver Broncos</a> in their third game saw a bunch of big swings in snap counts mainly due to injury. They still defeated the <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.cincyjungle.com/">Cincinnati Bengals</a>, so the depth really came through for them.</p>

<p><span>Darian Stewart</span> was an ironman again playing every defensive snap - all 67, but our entire defensive backfield played 91% or more snaps against the Bengals. Will Parks got the majority of the extra safety snaps this game seeing a huge increase with <span>Justin Simmons</span> sidelined. The only real surprise on the defensive side of the ball was <span>Kayvon Webster</span> getting exactly one defensive snap in Cincy after getting significantly more than that during the first two games.</p>

<p>Warning: Foul language contained within this video.</p> <p><a target="_blank" href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCew5br5cO1ZKO7Z_F1WA8Bg">Brandon Perna of That's Good Broncos</a> pumps some brakes on the <a href="https://www.milehighreport.com/" class="sbn-auto-link">Denver Broncos</a> quarterback of the future talk with Trevor Siemian and Paxton Lynch. It is clearly too early to know anything about anyone.</p>
<p><span>Trevor Siemian</span> is coming off his best half of football of his short three game career, but as Brandon noted it came right after his worst half of football of his short three game career. Pundits are proclaiming either Siemian as quarterback of the future or Lynch as the future and Perna's point is no one freaking knows the future.</p>
<p>If Siemian keeps playing well and improving and the Broncos do things in the playoffs, then John Elway would be crazy to roll with Lynch with the unknown.</p>
<p>Nice video, Brandon! This only <a href="http://www.milehighreport.com/2016/9/29/13102170/horse-tracks-trevor-siemian-vs-paxton-lynch-patience-and-perspective">builds on the message our team covered in Horse Tracks today</a>. We all just need to let this play out an enjoy the ride.</p>

<p>His recent play is reminiscent of the best Broncos center in history.</p> <p id="mI0DIz">Comparisons are always a throw of the dice. </p>
<p id="Mx1ctD">You never know if people will embrace or toss them to the side like moldy cheese. Part of the fascination is in making that connection to either a person or place in the past. Whether for nostalgia or just because it’s what we know, you see it a lot in sports. </p>
<p id="vExoRp">Heck, just this week <span>Carson Wentz</span> was compared to both <span>Peyton Manning</span> and <span>Aaron Rodgers</span> by NFL Network analyst Brian Baldinger. After three games, that’s a bit of a reach. But you get the point. In the wide of world sports, people love them some comparisons. They get fans fired up - in more ways than one. </p>
<p id="UtEypH">I made one a few weeks ago on social media, and for the most part, people got it. After yet another spectacular week, I had to write about it. </p>
<p id="sri1F5"><span>Matt Paradis</span> is proving himself as one of the best centers in the NFL. Whether you base that on your eye test, Pro Football Focus grades or both, you cannot deny that fact the first three weeks of the season. <a href="https://go.redirectingat.com?id=66960X1641777&xs=1&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.profootballfocus.com%2Fpro-best-player-at-every-position-in-nfl-week-2%2F&referrer=sbnation.com&sref=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.milehighreport.com%2F2016%2F9%2F28%2F13082634%2Fmatt-paradis-is-emerging-as-one-of-the-best-centers-in-the-nfl" rel="sponsored nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Two of those first three weeks Paradis was PFF’s highest graded center,</a> and he was right behind <a href="https://www.bloggingtheboys.com/">Dallas Cowboys</a> center <span>Travis Frederick</span> this week. </p>
<p id="0iDQo9">Paradis, along with <span>Russell Okung</span> and even (gasp) <span>Michael Schofield</span>, is a huge reason why the <a href="https://www.milehighreport.com/">Denver Broncos</a> offensive line is light years ahead of where it was a season ago. There are some issues with run blocking the last two weeks that must improve. What will help loosen up the run game is the air attack the Broncos put forth against the <a href="https://www.cincyjungle.com/">Cincinnati Bengals</a>. On the list of issues for Denver right now, the running game isn’t one of them - at least not right now. </p>

<p id="8z4hOU">That brings us back to Paradis. There’s something about his game that should connect Broncos fans to a player of the past. It doesn’t stop there. They work in the same system with the same coaches (for the most part), they have a similar build (both are 6-foot-3 and about 300 pounds) and they even look alike. Not to mention both have a penchant to not groom themselves. </p>
<p id="6EYyTB">That player is, of course, one of the most underrated centers in the history of the NFL, Tom Nalen. How he is not in the Pro Football of Hall of Fame, or even considered a viable contender ... isn’t all that surprising when you look at the history. Broncos fans know that all too well at this point. </p>
<p id="G0vUzy">We’re to the point now that when Paradis takes the field, your mind travels back to when Nalen did so. When Paradis dominates the interior of the offensive line as he has, one is of reminded of Nalen. Throw in the red bushy air and scraggly beard to the mix and it stops one in their tracks. </p>
<p id="PEVKT1">Paradis still has a lot to prove. The most difficult aspect is to remain as consistent as Nalen was over the course of his career in Denver. That’s the toughest challenge of all in the NFL. That’s on top of staying healthy, which is completely out of a player’s control. </p>
<div id="S2r8wP">

<p id="HmVTYr">But a season and three games into his career, Paradis is off to a great start. And that might be an understatement. He’s become one of the best in the NFL and he can get even better. In this system, there’s no limit to how good Paradis can become. Just as we saw with Nalen. One thing is clear: Paradis wants to get better. His success is not enough. He wants even more. The same is true for his teammates on the offensive line and the Broncos as a whole. </p>
<p id="g8HToN">That shows the character Paradis possesses. In his second year as a starter, he’s a team leader. As former Denver teammate <span>Tyler Polumbus</span> has pointed out numerous times, it’s only a matter of a time before Paradis is a captain. </p>
<p id="7jHLMn">That was on full display in training camp when he was given veteran days off and still coached up his teammates. That impressed me more than anything that Paradis has done on the field because those moments showed it wasn’t about him. It was about the Broncos. That selflessness shows a lot to not only teammates but coaches. It demonstrates Paradis will do whatever it takes to help Denver win. </p>
<p id="JU5XZq">That’s also the type of player John Elway needs to keep. As if Paradis’ play hasn’t warranted a new contract in the near future by itself, that leadership sealed it. He is set to become a restricted free agent in 2017 since he was an ERFA this past offseason. </p>
<p id="bRkpUL">Comparisons are always a throw of the dice. That is especially true when it comes to Denver. Fans are serious about this stuff. </p>
<p id="HK2tQm">But right now, the Broncos have the modern-day Nalen at center. If Paradis stops talking to the media, it’s sealed. </p>

<p>For his performance against the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 3, Trevor Siemian was named AFC offensive player of the week.</p> <p id="JNDbSL">In just his third start, <span>Trevor Siemian</span> is <a href="http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000000711287/article/carson-wentz-siemian-highlight-players-of-the-week">named AFC player of the week</a>. On the road, against a very strong <a href="https://www.cincyjungle.com/">Cincinnati Bengals</a> team, Siemian led the <a href="https://www.milehighreport.com/">Denver Broncos</a> to a second half comeback to move the team to 3-0.</p>

<p id="JFoAC2">His stat line was 23/35, 65.7% completion percentage for 312 yards and four touchdowns. Two of those were beautiful long bombs, one each to Emmanuel Sanders and Demaryius Thomas. You can <a href="http://www.milehighreport.com/2016/9/27/13069756/trevor-siemian-film-breakdown-bengals-broncos">review a breakdown of each of his touchdowns passes</a>. All four were impressive reads and throws for a young quarterback.</p>
<p id="fjIap3">Winning on the road against a playoff team is always a great win, but to do it in your first road start of a career is quite a different story.

<p id="4MTbkC">“It was loud, and it’s a tough place to play against a tough team,” Siemian said of his first road test of his career. “The environment, we anticipated that going in. So hats off to our guys. They limited the noise. It was a good team win for us.”</p>
<p id="Ch5Nn3">This is the kind of confidence-building performance that can catapult a young quarterback to the next level in his development. </p>
<p id="XmovVX">According to Broncos PR, Siemian is the eighth Broncos quarterback to be named AFC Offensive Player of the Week since the award was initiated by the NFL in 1984, joining John Elway(15x), Peyton Manning (6x), Jake Plummer (3x), Brian Griese (2x), Gary Kubiak (1x), Jay Cutler (1x) and Kyle Orton (1x) with that distinction.</p>

<p>Breaking down all four touchdowns by Trevor Siemian versus the Bengals</p> <p id="m4NIu1">What. A. Game! </p>
<p id="tvbtd7">We’ve been asking for <a href="http://www.milehighreport.com/2016/9/20/12983550/offensive-players-not-satisfied">more offense</a>. Well, today we got more offense. Without further ado, let’s get into the tape on each of these touchdown throws.</p>
<h2 id="WXRyF1">Touchdown #1 - 41 yards to Emmanuel Sanders</h2>
<p id="ojqz6P">This first touchdown is probably the most impressive one to me, for a couple of reasons that we’ll get into.</p>
<p id="P6HQZ6">If you were watching the game, here’s what you saw on the broadcast.</p>
<figure class="e-image">
<img alt=" " data-mask-text="false" src="https://cdn.vox-cdn.com/thumbor/hZlEfhX8IJIRM-y3JJ8K8ti7BPo=/400x0/filters:no_upscale()/cdn.vox-cdn.com/uploads/chorus_asset/file/7172279/TD%201%20gif%202.gif">
</figure>
<p id="1XMuOu">Here’s a look at the coaches All-22 film. This is a deep, 7-step drop with no play action, as it is 3rd and 5. </p>
<p id="kfIpC0">We are in 11 personnel, and will end up sending only three men out in a pattern, going max protect with the RB and TE staying in to block. This is almost a must for such a long developing play.</p>
<figure class="e-image">
<img alt=" " data-mask-text="false" src="https://cdn.vox-cdn.com/thumbor/CtpuLHds3RKgUYkERVhbrugU8x8=/400x0/filters:no_upscale()/cdn.vox-cdn.com/uploads/chorus_asset/file/7172285/TD%201A.JPG">
</figure>
<p id="ZwZcYT">The <a href="https://www.cincyjungle.com/">Bengals</a> are in man coverage and are going to be blitzing both linebackers and have a safety in the box as well at the bottom of the formation. They have only three men in man coverage, and one safety deep.</p>
<p id="Mw4AAt">Sanders is going to run a double move on the outside with an out-and-up, and Thomas and Norwood are going to come across the field.</p>
<p id="xz6LH0">There are a couple keys to making this play work. First is protection. Second is the middle safety. It is 1-v-1 on the outside if Siemian can get Iloka to cheat towards the right, or freeze in place.</p>
<p id="rdY1s5">This is the first reason I really like this play and am very impressed with Siemian. He stares down the safety while Sanders’ route is developing, and only at the very last second does he slide to his left to launch it in Sanders’ direction. By then it’s too late.</p>

</figure>
<p id="PJat7E">The other key I mentioned was protection. Take a look below. This is right before the ball is released and Siemian has plenty of room and isn’t feeling any heat. </p>
<p id="SEOIRD">The Bengals’ defensive coordinator will likely be livid when looking at this tape because they are committing seven men to the line of scrimmage and no one gets home. </p>
<p id="hQtVKq">A few guys were in man coverage on the TE and RB and essentially were standing around with nothing to do. The ones that did blitz were slow to start their rush and pick their gap.</p>
<p id="BCJaiO">Notice too, the safety has just now stopped and re-started running in the right direction. That’s a lot of ground to cover.</p>

</figure>
<p id="DeRLhT">This last image below is why I’m even more pleased with this play from Siemian. This is right before the throw. Look at DT circled in red. </p>

</figure>
<p id="VtKsjv">This is 3rd and 5. Siemian could have had DT on a crossing route for an easy first down. Instead, he trusts his guy on the outside, and trusts the coverage he’s seeing that he’ll be open for the touchdown, and lets it fly. </p>
<p id="PKaUsk">These are the kind of plays I have been waiting to see from him. Your team needs a spark and the play is there to be made. Yes there is a “safer” throw, but you have the best WRs in the game. Give ‘em a shot. And he did.</p>

<h2 id="E1ytDw">Touchdown #2 - 7 yards to Emmanuel Sanders</h2>

<p id="tynoQr">Nothing fancy outside. Just a combo route at the top of your screen with Sanders and Latimer. Sanders comes under with an out route, and Latimer comes over the top with a slant/dig. </p>
<p id="FYMbGy">Sometimes teams will try to get a natural pick or screen of the defender with these combos, but Denver doesn’t really even try that. It’s just our guy against your guy.</p>

</figure>
<p id="r5kSUC">Again, Siemian had DT on a shallow cross if he wanted him. This is 1st and goal, so picking up a few yards is good play. At the time of the throw, DT is actually more open than Sanders.</p>
<figure class="e-image">

</figure>
<p id="Ptpwss">But no, Siemian goes right for the throat. He’s heard all week about the team’s inability to score in the red zone. He rifles one in to a spot where his receiver isn’t even at yet, and where only he can get it, and trusts his guy to make a play.</p>
<p id="Qcmj3T">Our guy, against your guy.</p>

</figure>
<p id="7Dro9s">I wanted to add this angle to just to show what a great throw this was. Siemian struggled a little bit in the first half with his accuracy and ball placement, but this throw was about as impressive as I’ve seen him make.</p>

</figure>
<p id="8f84It">We’re in a jumbo package with Weems in as a TE on the far right. DT is going to move in motion and the line moves with him which sucks all the linebackers in towards him. </p>
<p id="BuFxvr">This is almost like a fake shovel pass or jet sweep that I would like to see us try coming back to and actually getting the ball to DT.</p>

</figure>
<p id="mtkdW0">It’s a great playcall in this situation because it’s an unscouted look and serves the purpose of distracting all the defenders towards the right, while the play happens behind them on the left.</p>

<p id="8IiRpj">Siemian does exactly that by opening up his body and looking towards Janovich. This gets #57 moving out towards the flat and Phillips literally goes right in behind him.</p>

<p id="XArhdf">By the time the ball is released, he is way too far to do anything, and Adam Jones realizes DT is a decoy too late. You don’t get much more wide open in the NFL. </p>

<p id="sAn8Tx">Great playcall by the coaches, but also great execution by Trevor once again manipulating a defender with his eyes. This is big time quarterbacking being done right here. You have to be able to consistently do this if you want to last in this league.</p>
<p id="ulkNWT">We wanted more deep balls. Check.</p>
<p id="aRsmXH">We wanted more red zone scoring. Check.</p>
<h2 id="5C5dhy">Touchdown #4 - 55 yards to Demaryius Thomas</h2>
<p id="zm8Xz0">This one is about as easy as it gets and is great recognition by Coach Kubiak.</p>
<p id="BgZThC">On the previous play, starting CB, Adam Jones, had to come off the field for a play as he was cramping up. Kubiak recognizes this and goes right at his replacement.</p>

</figure>
<p id="fvDYcJ">Almost the exact same concept here as the big play to Sanders. Again, the Bengals are going to look at this film and kick themselves. At the time of the snap guys were still getting lined up and the defense looked confused.</p>
<p id="ZBSKCn">Then, the lone deep safety immediately floats to the other side of the field to help their best corner double Sanders. So Lewis-Harris is left completely on an island.</p>

<p id="2DCTPC">Meanwhile, three Bengal defenders are huddling together, trying to use their Jedi mind powers to sack Siemian instead of rushing him, and the left side of the line has no one to block.</p>

</figure>
<p id="lVnCFL">Now here’s my one critique on this play. Siemian has got to put that ball a little further out. He should be throwing to the red mark above, while the yellow mark is where DT catches it. </p>
<p id="zY8XLI">Now I get that you don’t want to overshoot your target and want to at least give him a chance at the ball. But this is underthrown, and against a better cornerback, this might not be a catch.</p>
<p id="Hp917J">This one was such a layup. With the defense being all out of whack, they served it up on a silver platter. You gotta hit that in stride.</p>

<p id="62FIRd">I wanted to finish with this angle because it shows what a nice job DT did boxing out for this ball. He has taken a lot of heat from fans for not using his size enough to his advantage. </p>

<p id="sSOsCm">He had also been talking before this game about wanting more opportunities. Well, he put his money where his mouth was and went up and made the play in a big moment. Nicely done, DT.</p>

<p id="ksJATr">I really came away impressed by Siemian’s ability to move defenders with his eyes, and trust his guys for the big play, and not always play it safe. </p>

<p>Welcome to week 3 of "Repeating Business". I will review the <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.cincyjungle.com/">Bengals</a> game and take a gander at Sunday's challenger.</p>
<p><b>Cincinnati - </b>The <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.milehighreport.com/">Broncos</a> marched into Paul Brown Stadium for their first road game and early kick off time against last season's AFC North champs. Questions and worries surrounded the offense and many were bracing for a potential loss with <span>Trevor Siemian</span> going against one of the better defenses in the NFL. Denver started out on offense deep in their own territory thanks to <span>Cody Latimer</span> not kneeling in the end zone and made the mistake of running it out only to get swarmed at the 14. <span>Siemian</span> came out throwing, but the drive was a 3 and out. <span>Riley Dixon</span> punted 51 yards to the Bengal 26. The Bengals then proceeded to use <span>Jeremy Hill</span> to batter the defense. He accounted for 65 of the 74 yards including a 50 yard run that gashed the DL to start off the game. Hill plunged in for the TD and <span>Mike Nugent</span> hit the XP for a 7-0 lead.</p>
<p>Denver then took over and marched down the field for 14 plays thanks to a balanced mix of run and pass, assisted by Cincy defensive penalties. The Broncos got to the Bengal 2, but could not capitalize with a TD. <span>Brandon McManus</span> knocked in the FG to cut into the lead 7-3. The teams exchanged punts, but the momentum shifted. Dixon's punt was fielded by <span>Adam Jones</span>. Pacman made one move and was hit, fumbling the ball and <span>Shiloh Keo</span> recovered it giving the Broncos a needed break. Play was stopped to review if it was a fumble and it looked like Jones' knee was down, but the call was upheld. Denver took over at the Bengals 46. <span>C.J. Anderson</span> moved the ball five yards on two rushes and then we saw the unthinkable on third down. Siemian dropped back deep and sailed a pass to the end zone for a 41 yard TD bomb to <span>Emmanuel Sanders</span> over Jones to give the Broncos the lead 10-7. The teams again exchanged punts only to see the Bengals move the ball 62 yards thanks to some short passes and a Bradley Roby DPI on third down. Hill punched in the ball for the score to make it 14-10 Bengals. Denver responded with a 46 yard KO return by Latimer that almost went for a score if he wasn't slightly tripped by the kicker. With great field position, the Broncos marched down the field despite some offensive flags and an assist from the defense with a flag of their own. The drive was capped off with a perfect pass on the outside to Sanders to give Denver the lead. McManus' XP try was blocked and the score was 16-14 at the half.</p>
<p>Cincy started the second half with the ball, but was forced to punt. <span>Jordan Norwood</span> returned the ball to the Bronco 25. Then disaster struck the offense when <span>Demaryius Thomas</span> caught a pass, was flagged for OPI and fumbled in the same play that the Bengals recovered at the Denver 37. Fortunately, the defense forced a punt thanks to <span>Shane Ray</span> sacking <span>Andy Dalton</span> twice and the <span>Brandon LaFell</span> getting flagged for an illegal block. Denver got the ball back, but was forced to punt thanks to a sack. Cincy then took the ball to the Bronco 13 thanks to short passes and Dalton's scrambling. Fortunately, the defense stiffened and the Bengals settled for a FG to take a 17-16 lead early in the fourth quarter.</p>
<p>Denver then responded with a drive that saw a mix of short passes and runs. Thomas made up for his false start penalty by catching a first down to keep the drive going. <span>Bennie Fowler</span> made his 2016 debut with a 13 yard grab and then Sanders got them to the Bengal 3. After an <span>Andy Janovich</span> rush to the 1, Siemian ran a perfect play action that froze the defense long enough to laser a pass to <span>John Phillips</span> for a TD. The Bronco attempt for two failed, but they had the lead 22-17. Cincy was forced into a 3 and out and punted to the Denver 17. With just over six minutes left and a five point lead, what would most of you fans expect? I was expecting some rushes to take time off the clock, but that didn't happen on this day. On first down, Siemain lofted a ball to another Bronco making his debut, <span>Jeff Heuerman</span>. <span>Heuerman</span> snagged the pass for a 29 yard gain to the Bronco 46. After a one yard loss by Anderson and an incomplete pass to Thomas, Broncos Country saw Siemian take a deep drop and toss a deep ball to Thomas. Thomas took the pass and ran it in for the TD. McManus knocked in the XP to make the lead 29-17. The defense got into the act by picking Dalton off on the next play, but the offense couldn't capitalize on the mistake. With just under four minutes left, the Bengals moved the ball deep into Denver territory only to turn the ball over on downs. Siemian knelt down to end the game and Denver moves to 3-0 with a 29-17 road win.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>As for my impressions of the game, the first half was sloppy on both sides of the ball. The defense was getting killed against Hill and Siemian had some passing accuracy issues early in the half. Despite all of that, the Broncos had a halftime lead. The Broncos seemed much more settled and Siemian was accurate at every range after the slow start. His deep TD passes were amazing and a wonderful thing to watch. The adjustments made by the defense was a major reason that this game was a win. Jeremy Hill ran wild in the first half, but after half he was shut down and the Bengals kept passing. With this game, the league too notice that the Broncos have multiple threats and the offense is becoming what we all hoped it would. While the rushing game was stalled at a measly 52 yards, the passing game dominated the game. I would credit the Bengals D for the lack of running success more than the performance. The OL had an OK day with a lot of shuffling going on thanks to <span>Russell Okung</span> getting dinged up and <span>Ty Sambrailo</span> seeing his first action in a year. It was a great surprise to see that outcome against an expected AFC contender. At the end of the day, Denver is 3-0, leads the AFC West and now has an opportunity to get a win streak going. With that out of the way, it's time to take a glance at the next challenger......</p>
<p> </p>
<p><b>Tampa Bay - </b>Denver gets to travel east again, but this time it is the late game. The <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.bucsnation.com/">Buccaneers</a> are coming off a close home loss to the <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.turfshowtimes.com/">Los Angeles Rams</a> 37-32 that included a late thunderstorm delay. Tampa dominated the Rams in every possible stat except the scoreboard. The difference of the game was an early pick six by LA and a defensive stop at the end of the game as time expired. Tampa is led by <span>Jameis Winston</span> and is coming off a 405 yard passing day. He has a trio of receivers in <span>Mike Evans</span>, <span>Adam Humphries</span> and the ageless <span>Vincent Jackson</span>. Evans and <span>Humphries</span> both had over 100 yards receiving against the Rams so the "No Fly Zone" will have a full workload. Doug Martin is their normal starting RB, but he was out with an injury. He might be back this week but he is dealing with a hamstring injury. Charles Sims handled the rushing duties against the Rams.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>For the Broncos to get another win, the offense needs to keep maturing and making plays. The Bucs defense is not the juggernaut that it was in 2002 so this could be a good opportunity to get some good rushing yards on this group. Case Keenum did not have a great stats day, but he did have a long TD pass against this D. As long as the turnovers are not there, this is a winnable game for the offense. Defensively, they need to get to and hit Winston at every chance they get. Despite the Rams having a good front 7, they only hit Winston twice the entire game. He is a bigger QB and he is able to scramble if needed. Even with all of this, he is still a young player and can be rattled easily. While they are not as strong, expect them to give the Broncos their best shot. That is all I have and GO Broncos!!!</p>

<p>The Afternoon Drive was pretty happy with the play of Trevor Siemian. All of Broncos Country was. The question remains, is it time to anoint Siemian the once and future starter?</p> <h4>Good morning, Broncos Country!</h4>
<p>For this morning's Horse Tracks, we will review a conversation between <a href="http://milehighsports.com/afternoon-drive-with-eric-goodman/" style="background-color: #ffffff;">Eric Goodman and Les Shapiro</a> as they looked back at the Broncos game against the Bengals. There is no doubt that Trevor Siemian played his best game of the season. And he certainly did not do it against a cupcake. The Broncos offense was able to push around a solid defense.</p>
<p id="jwag0t">Is that it? Have we come to any conclusions about Siemian and the future of the Broncos’ quarterback? Probably not, but it was nice to see him play so well. <a href="http://www.milehighreport.com/2016/9/25/13050498/trevor-siemian-silences-the-critics-in-huge-broncos-win" target="_blank">Siemian definitely quieted the skeptics.</a> He stepped up big time, but it may be time to temper the excitement.</p>
<p id="vqzcul">There were still questions surrounding Siemian and his abilities heading into the Bengals game. Gary Kubiak put the game on his quarterback’s arm, and in the end it proved to be the biggest move of this young season. As one of those skeptics, I was happy to see Siemian perform so well.</p>
<p id="GjfpHD">However, there were some scary moments in the first half. There were over throws, and close calls on balls that should have been intercepted. The offense struggled. But Siemian did something that showed his poise as a professional quarterback. He came out in the second half, shook off the first half struggles, and shredded the Bengals defense.</p>
<p id="DbmGtx">So, is it time to crown the king? Probably not. Siemian has shown he is the right guy for the job right now. The Broncos seem to be in a great situation, with a first round draft pick growing and learning, while Siemian is doing more than just filling a gap. There is a lot of football left, but according to Von Miller, that’s how you drive.</p>
