Hopefully the red zone performance this year convinces them otherwise. If not, we'll continue to go for 400 yards and 23 points a game. Running down near the goal line you have to beat people, not misdirect them. Our line is not built for this and that is fine, but you can still have a back who is. 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.
