Montee Ball attributes his 2013 late-season improvement and increased playing time to being able to anticipate Peyton Manning's pre-snap audibles at the line of scrimmage.
Audible anticipation is critical for running backs in a Peyton offense because Manning changes to run plays to "exploit off-balance defensive fronts," and will often check into pass plays that require the back to identify and pick up a blitzer. "I started playing better then," said Ball. "I wish that it had happened earlier. I always tell myself, imagine what it would have been like had I begun like this." Ball piled up 337 yards on 52 carries (6.48 YPC) over Denver's final six regular season games, adding 15 receptions. He's looking to build on that momentum in 2014 as the Broncos' clear-cut bellcow back.
