The key to the Broncos running game clicking is the offensive line

offense with a shiny new quarterback in Russell Wilson taking the snaps. We also are all very excited to see some continuity in our running game with Javonte Williams and Melvin Gordon III looking to improve on their 900+ yard season from 2022.

But for the run game to make a real impact, the offensive line has to really be dialed in. The zone running system is something many of us here in Broncos Country (especially those of us that geek out all the things our team does and is known for) are quite familiar with.

Some rules have changed over the years (especially regarding chop blocks or any type of block below the waist in the tight end box) that make it more difficult for the zone run system to really blow your hair back like the Broncos teams from the late 90’s did.
