Broncos Journal: In search of speed, Denver should push pace with RB Jaleel McLaughlin, LB Drew Sanders

Win or lose, Week 1 in the NFL provides the first batch of data for teams to begin figuring out out who they really are.

The Broncos in Week 1 looked like a team that lacks explosiveness on both sides of the ball.

They have some — cornerback Pat Surtain II, receiver Jerry Jeudy once he’s back on the field, left guard Ben Powers in the run game – but not enough.

Coach Sean Payton isn’t going to throw out his entire blueprint and re-write it because of 60 minutes, nor should he. In fact, Week 1’s dink-and-dunk style suggests he suspected his team might struggle to run past Las Vegas.
