Reasons To Be Scared

 

-Ryan Mathews:  He had a pretty good day for preseason.  He seems to be very hard to take down.  He rushed 9 times and gained 50 yards.  He is nowhere near LT but if he stays healthy will get plenty of carries.

 

-Philip Rivers:  In 4 completed passes out of 6 Rivers threw for 62 yards and a touchdown.  Although, I hate him I can't deny how on form he was.

 

-Defense:  The defense had 3 forced fumbles, 6 sacks, and an interception.

 

Reasons Not To Be Scared

 

-Most of the big plays on defense seemed to come from 2nd and 3rd stringers.

 

-I'm still not sold on their WR Unit.

 

-They played the Bears.

Reasons To Be Scared

 

-Running Game:  Their running game looked pretty strong.  Bennett averaged 5.7 yards per carry.  Bush still looks hard to take down.

 

-Lamarr Houston:  He looks fast and can get to the QB.  He recorded 2 sacks against the Cowboys.

 

Reasons Not To Be Scared

 

-Wide Receivers:  Outside of their tight end there is no real threat here.  A lot of speed just not a lot of talent as of yet.

 

-Quarterback Play:  Jason Campbell needs more time with this team.  He gained 49 yards on 7 completed passes.


 

Denver Broncos

Reasons To Be Scared

 

-Kyle Orton:  As much as it sickens me to say this he was very solid last year.  He also looked decent the first preseason game.  He threw for 84 yards and 2 touchdowns.

 

-Secondary:  Their first team secondary looked very sharp.  They were flying to the ball and making their tackles.  Champ was on form tonight.

 

Reasons Not To Be Scared

 

-Wide Receivers:  They didn't have their two rookies Thomas and Decker out there.  Royal and Gaffney were ok when they did get looks.

 

-Short Passes:  Denver tried to air it out but were unsuccessful.  They are still sticking to those WR screens and short passes.  Although, these can hurt over the course of a game it can be keyed into and predictable.

 

-Running Game:  Moreno wasn't out there and it showed.  Out of 15 runs the Broncos got 36 yards total.
