Broncos' Run Game: Building Flexibility for Next Season

0:00On March 13th, the Denver Broncos finished last season with a middle of the pack ground attack, averaging 118.7 rushing. Yards per game to rank 16th in the league. They looked poised for a stronger finish early on, but that changed when starting back, JK Dobbins suffered a season ending foot injury after just. Ten games. Head coach Sean Payton has been reflecting on the issue, noting that while run pass options from the shotgun have worked okay, the team needs more. Success running under center to truly control games. Losing Dobbins hurt, not just on the field, but in the locker room too. And Payton stressed evaluating the right roles for their runners moving forward. This offseason, expect a heavy focus on building that flexibility, blending shotgun sets with two back formations, and extra tight ends to boost the run game next year.
