One thing SSOG.. Do you think Den. has a problem with the 3-4 defense? Or is it just that San Diego has a good defense vs. the run... I was looking over last yrs numbers with Droughns, and saw that he had a field day with Oak. who i believe (correct me if i'm wrong) ran the 3-4 def. last year...
Thanks for reminding me! I completely forgot that Oakland played a 3-4 last season.Still, outside of Oakland last season (d'oh!), Denver hasn't once in their last 2 seasons equaled their season average in yards, carries, or yards per carry against a 3-4 defense. Even this preseason, the Broncos got over 200 yards rushing and over 5 yards per carry against every team they faced... except for the Houston Texans who, if you take out a 40 yard scramble by their backup QB, they only rushed for 90 yards and about 3 yards a carry against.
Here, I went a lot more in detail about Denver's struggles against the 3-4
in this thread. Again, I forgot to include the Oakland numbers when discussing Denver's success against the 3-4 (mea culpa), but otherwise the points all still stand.
