The Denver Broncos conclude their preseason tonight when they host the Minnesota Vikings. They are coming off a total ass whooping by the Buffalo Bills so we will get to see how they bounce back from that and finish their preseason strong. We will also see the conclusion of some positional battles and a handful of players on the roster bubble making their final case for a roster spot. <\/p>\n
I am going to give you five things to watch during the Broncos preseason finale against the Minnesota Vikings. <\/p>\n
After a week one performance that had the Broncos fans, media, and team hyped up for their potential, they were seriously humbled a week later. The Buffalo Bills dominated them in the trenches and outplayed them throughout the game. Sure, it was the Bills 1’s vs. the Broncos 2’s and the Bills 2’s against the Broncos 3rd team, so the result was expected. However, it is still not what you wanted to see. <\/p>\n
During the week, Head Coach Nathaniel Hackett was asked what bothered him the most from the Bills loss and he told reporters it was the Broncos’ lack of physcial play.<\/p>\n
\n\u201cThere was, obviously, a lot of stuff when you have a game like that. One thing I’ll tell you [that] I liked is that the offense kept battling [and] the defense finally got a couple of stops there at the end. In the end, that’s not what we want to be about when it comes to physicality across the board. I think everybody can be more physical, but it looked like they were thinking too much. There was too much on their minds. There were just simple things that when we come out here, I wish we would get some of those looks and there were just some misalignments. The starting point is always alignment and assignment for defense [and] for offense. It’s just hearing the call, knowing where to line up, and then execute. Those basic things, for whatever reason, didn’t work. So, we have to evaluate all those guys. Those guys have to evaluate their process to get ready for that game, because we can’t put that stuff on tape. That’s not what we’re about.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
I want to see the Broncos’ defense tackle better, make some stops, pressure the quarterback, and create some turnovers. Get that confidence back and continue it through the week leading up to the season opener and into week one when they head to Seattle. <\/p>\n
On offense, I want to see them score some points, get movement in the run game, make some plays downfield, and block well. Just a solid all-around game. Move past the sloppy practices and execute on game day. <\/p>\n
2. KJ Hamler returns!<\/strong><\/h3>\n
After a long rehab process, Broncos explosive wide receiver KJ Hamler will take the field and return to action. Head Coach Nathaniel Hackett said that Hamler will play a \u201cfew snaps\u201d tonight so it will be exciting to see him on the field.<\/p>\n
\n\nNathaniel Hackett says WR KJ Hamler will get \u201ca couple snaps\u201d Saturday against the Vikings in the final preseason game. #Broncos<\/a><\/p>\n
