Denver always had good power backs who offset the small lineman down near the goal line (davis, anderson, droughns, etc...).
Either way, as suprising as it is to me...we really missed Ahman Green today.

I really, really hope the team doesn't fall in love with Slaton's numbers (good as they are) and ignore the team's wretched performance in the red zone. They need a bruiser, a guy who can pick up two yards running behind a FB when everyone knows what play you're going to run. Green was great at that role when healthy. I desperately hoped that Chris Taylor would grow into that role.
