Keys to Victory over Denver

i'm going to assume we're gonna get murdered, but be pleasantly surprised if we are competitive and/or actually win.

Oxygen masks? No, I think he was referring to Mile High Stadium altitude.
No Mile High anymore. Errors all over the place!

Likable matchup numbers? Total Offense- Brns. rank 8th.
Den. rank 30th 
. Passing- Brns. rank 6th. 
Den. rank 23rd 
. Rushing- Brns. 28th Den. 30th. TOTAL DEFENSE- Brns. Rank 30th 
. Den. Rank#1. with some key doubts on Talib & Ware. Browns Win 24-21 Coons walk off winner #2. -
My keys:
1) OLB - Bryant and Kruger rotate and rush 90% of their snaps. Mingo plays opposite and played 70% of snaps. He's able to be a 3-down Sam backer. Rotate Orchard on both sides; at this point, in coverage, I trust Mingo and Orchard only.
2) Continue using the quick screen/passes to motion or slot receivers. Pats and the Pack do this and I fully expect the league to make the (eager) downfield blocking an emphasis for next season. We need to use it while we can.
3) Commit to giving Duke 15 carries primarily in late 2nd through the end. Mix in varied runs. Hammer Turbin and Crowell in the 1st - 2nd.
4) Play the ball aggressively on defense. Peyton's arm is shot. Limited power and sporadic accuracy = turnovers. Peyton will still beat us on anticipation, but they need to take advantage on his deficiencies. Also blitz more when Manning is not in his comfort zone (shotgun)
5) Bryant and Bryant need to see the field more than their peers. Those two put forth much higher effort and it shows in their production.

Key #2: Middle O-line Play...
Sure, Mitch vs. Von is a concern, but Schwartz is playing well enough that a chip here and there by Barn/Dray may suffice.
Through Q3 of the Week 5 tape, Mack is not looking good... physically or mentally. And both Bito and Greco had issues anchoring against BLT's NT/DT bull-rushes. We have to hold, or at least redirect, the middle or McC is going to get flushed into waiting hands wide.

yeah well some of us are still stuck in the 80s. hot my yamaha 750 enduro shipped out to me from ohio when i was in AIT at fort lowry air force base, took a ride one night in the rain to denver to check out the stadium. no game. no fans. just the stadium at night with light shining on it. could see the blue bronco from blocks away. gorgeous sight. hated (disliked the team cuz of 'the drives)'. still something to see.
too bad on the way back to base i spun out doing a 180 on some major road cuz of the slick roads and popped up and went as fast as i could back to aurora.
now it's all shit.

The Drive. The Fumble. Your Viewing. Your Spinout. Gilbert's spinout. McCown's Spinout. Yea, most signs point that you may be suffering from the Denver Curse. Ride the Donkey (or Goat) to the game this week & lets "REverse The Curse"

I think our pass rush is one of the biggest disappointments of the season. Kruger looks slow and mostly ineffective to me, and with him not making big plays, we don't have that one guy that can be a difference maker. I do like Armonty Bryant, always have, and I am hoping he can be the guy we need. How badly do we need a sack-fumble for a td? A tipped pass for interception? A huge sack on 3rd down to force a punt, or even a FG? I've never seen a defense worse at blitzing...we seem to just never get there. Now, we appeared to adjust against the Ravens and stopped sending the house every play like against the Bolts, but still. We just don't GET THERE. We absolutely need somebody like Orchard to come out of nowhere and start piling up sacks. He appears to have decent speed, and his college numbers are extremely nice. Maybe some of that transfers.
We had 7 sacks against Tennessee, and most of those were due to a rookie being a rookie. He held the ball and didn't feel pressure well. Take away that one game, and we aren't doing so well in the sack category. And what's with us not getting any picks? Manning has thrown several this season, and he'll give us an opportunity or two. We absolutely MUST catch them, and convert them into points. TD's...not FG'S.
