Re: Thursday Night Football, San Diego Chargers at Denver Broncos: preview and predic
Interesting how the Broncos got the TD. They took advantage of the Chargers not treating Decker with the respect they'd give Welker, and giving him just pure single coverage. Instead of going pass, they put Decker in position to lock onto his single coverage opponent in the run game, and that allowed Caldwell to pretty much walk into the endzone.
That was a good job of taking a weakness (Decker's lesser ability to get open quick against coverage) and making it a (blocking) strength. Had Welker been in there, there probably would have been a LB in the area.
