Some notes on the team

[HPF Bob]

Denver's offense has often utilized FB/TE hybrids for wham blocking and short routes. One of their favorite stunts is to put the back in motion, then have him move towards the line, then flare out along the LOS for a short pass. It's hoped the receiver gets lost by the defense who won't send anyone out to cover him because they are selling out to stop the run or get to the QB. This is used in goalline and short yardage packages.

It would not shock me at all if Kubiak intends to use Casey this way.

Good to hear that Rashad Butler is over that medical problem that was causing him to lose weight. If both Butler and Caldwell do well, that will really flesh out the O'line for us. Great news for a long season.

Yep. It's unlikely all 5 of those Oline starters will remain healthy and start all 16 regular season games this year just as they did in 2008. But with Butler at
swing-tackle & Caldwell able to play any of the 3 interior line positions, that's some serious insurance.
