As we hit the truly quiet period of the NFL offseason, figured the three of you (thank you by the way) that read this weekend column would enjoy some quick thoughts on the upcoming season. So without more ado…
The Denver Broncos will be defined by Mark Sanchez next season
While this sounds three degrees of crazy, one must remember just how awful the Broncos offense was with Peyton Manning. For some fans evaluating the Broncos this off season, the name is bigger then the production.
Mark Sanchez may very well be a better quarterback for the Broncos this upcoming season then Manning was last season. The degree of difference will go a long way in determining just how their season goes.
The Raiders will be defined by their offensive line
The Raiders dumped a boat load of cash into their fronts this off season, bringing in Kelechi Osemele from the Ravens and retaining Donald Penn, along with bringing in pass rusher Bruce Irvin and cornerback Sean Smith.
How the offensive line meshes and works will determine how well the Raiders offense functions, and that will go along way in determining just how well the Raiders do this season.
