I was just stating that I think they need more time to get used to eachother before they try something like Z blocking.

They already use some zone schemes. They will just use more now.

Ahhh. How do you think the size will affect the scheme?

Broncos Average: 287.8 lbs.

6'7" 295 Salaam -T
6'4" 283 Hamilton -G
6'3" 286 Nalen -C
6'2" 285 Neil -G
6'4" 290 Lepsis -T

Texans Average: 314.6 lbs.

6'7" 327 Wand -T
6'3" 320 Pitts -G
6'4" 302 McKinney -C
6'5" 309 Weigert -G
6'8" 315 Wade -T

Could a line being a bit slower affect the scheme that much?

J-Man · 06-01-2004

Slower may be a somewhat relative term here...guys we have on the line are for the most part pretty quick on their feet for guys their size (yes, even Pitts and McKinney!). I don't see that it will effect us that much to be honest, as long as the guys are executing as per the scheme they will be OK. I think that if anything they might be able to create more daylight once they engage their individual assignments.

I'm sure we are not 100% emulating the Bronco scheme, and they have been drafting a bit larger lately. 6-5, 338 lb George Foster is penciled in to start for them @ RT this season.

We are definately not emulating the Broncos scheme. There is no thinking about it. I do hope with an open heart and mind that we are not compared with the failures or successes of the Broncos line all year long. That would get me a little frosted.

Who brought up the idea of the Broncos anyway? I hope that it was not Pendry or Palmer.
