| |  | DENVER: Heading into 2013, the Broncos brought back Alex Gibbs as an offensive line coach to revitalize the zone-blocking scheme. The running game is obviously aided by the threat of Denver's passing game and Peyton Manning's ability to adjust at the line of scrim- mage, but the front five deserves huge credit for the ground game. A year ago, Denver used a committee approach, and they'll always have to rotate to an extent due to the Broncos' fast pace on offense and Denver's thin air. But Montee Ball should have a big workload with most red-zone touches. C.J. Anderson and Ronnie Hillman, if he stops fumbling, will battle for scraps behind him. Denver runs the ball often inside the red zone, mostly because opponents put extra defensive backs on the field down near the goal line. Ball will almost surely take the bulk of the red zone and goal-line carries.
This is a pick-your-poison, catch-and-run passing game. Their bread-and-butter is dinking and dunking, often underneath with Wes Welker and tight end Julius Thomas and in the screen game with Demaryius Thomas and Ball. They're the best screen team in the NFL, especially when using wideouts. They will take some deep shots, a result of opponents crowding the line of scrimmage as the game goes on, with Demaryius Thomas and Emmanuel Sanders slipping downfield when the opportunity arises. When they throw inside the red zone, they'll use Welker and Sanders for his ability to shake free underneath, or play-action for Julius Thomas.
Denver made plenty of personnel changes on defense with the additions of DE DeMarcus Ware, CB Aqib Talib and SS T.J. Ward, and once OLB Von Miller recovers from his torn ACL, Jack Del Rio's unit will be a nightmare for opposing quarterbacks. | | DALLAS: Offensive line coach Bill Callahan is expected to relinquish play-calling duties to new offensive coordinator Scott Linehan in order to focus on improving the Cowboys' anemic rushing attack. They end up abandoning the run early in many games, as the zone-blocking scheme that Callahan implemented has yet to take hold. DeMarco Murray will take a headlining role again in this backfield, especially in the red zone, and he'll keep that role until his next injury. Joseph Randle and Lance Dunbar will fight for scraps.
Linehan ran a pass-happy offense in Detroit, similar to what the Cowboys have run. He's an Air Coryell disciple with a system that uses a lot of top-down reads, looking to take advantage of the deep ball. Dez Bryant is the obvious No. 1 receiver in this offense, and Linehan will likely move him around more than Dallas has done in the past. Tight end Jason Witten provides another chess piece type of weapon to wreak some havoc. Terrance Williams steps in as the No. 2 and will be used primarily as a deep threat. The Cowboys will use two tight ends as often as they go three-wide, meaning third wideout Cole Beasley and second TE Gavin Escobar will essentially split playing time. Dallas was one of the league's most pass-heavy red zone teams last year, a trend that's likely to continue this season. Bryant is the top target near the goal line, with Witten a close second.
Dallas DL coach Rod Marinelli will take over defensive coordinator duties in 2014, hoping to generate more turnovers like he did with the Bears (44 TO in 2012). But the Cowboys still give up tons of yards and will have much fewer sacks after losing both DE DeMarcus Ware (117 career sacks) and DT Jason Hatcher (11 sacks in 2013). |
