If you were coaching the Broncos, what would be your game plan against the Seahawks?
If I were to be coaching the Broncos Sunday afternoon, you would have to look at exploiting the Seahawks linebacking core like the San Diego Chargers did last Sunday. Philip Rivers diced them up with veteran Pro-Bowl tight-end, Antonio Gates, who had seven receptions for 96 yards; including three touchdown receptions.
The Broncos can do the same with up-and-coming star Julius Thomas who currently leads the team in touchdown receptions with four. Not to mention, getting slot receiver Wes Welker back after suspension can be pivotal once a red-zone opportunity arises — that’s if Denver uses Welker enough to do so.
