Our DL is very inconsistent. There were drives where our DL got great penetration and pushed them back, and then there were the 20 yard runs where the linemen where nowhere to be found, and the LBs had one or two linemen sealing them off.
Before these last two games I was hoping we would get an ILB and a RT with the 1st two picks, either order. Now I am not sure that we dont need more help up front than one lineman. I hope we look into FA for some help on the line. Problem is I dont know where the biggest weakness is on offense to know where to start looking!
I re-watched Bronco's game and our D-line wasn't that bad, I even say that was one of the best (or less bad) games in this season. But when it came to LB, was awful. Added to safeties against run, even worse.
DJ play below what he has done in recent games, Hali didn't know what to do, Houston was inconsistent as all season he has been. They where the best among LB+safeties. The others just sucked.
Broncos always sent in route their WR so our CB weren't a factor in the running game, and they are good against run.
With this personnel, I don't know what I've done different to stop the running attack. But I know that if Berry and Siller were in the game, things would be different.
