Just saw Stidham hug Steve Belichick who is on Denver sideline for some reason
 
We haven't faced a full compliment of sizable WR like Sutton, Bryant, Mims, Humphrey.
Our CB's are going to have to be disciplined.
If our Rush gives Stiddy 3sec, he's going to find guys open and sustain drives. That could get back.
 
I'm terrified that Stiddy will come out like a boss and throw some deep strikes to Sutton or Franklin and put us behind early.
If Broncos win, this will be a terrible few weeks that might undo all the success we've had. And that wouldn't be the case at all if it was Nix, but if a backup beats you, there's a ton of "failure" and "choke" talk that happens.
Franklin is inactive and we are going to light up Stiddy.
 
Just approach this like you’re going up against a HOF quarterback. Who cares if Stidham is the quarterback. Make him work hard for everything.
 
Denver OL is an elite pass blocking unit, but…

Lot of conversation about the Broncos line not giving up sacks. My opinion it's Nix not the line. He was only sacked 10 times in 2 years at Oregon. He gets rid of it crazy fast. Pre Nix Russell Wilson was sacked 110 times in two years. Can Stidham process that fast? I'm not sure..

They can try blitzing him early. Or, have a certain look in coverage and change it up immediately before the snap. Like they did in SB 53.
 
This is environment is going to be tough for this young team. It just is. They are in tough today. When they get off the field after warm up I as a coach am closing that door and it’s gonna get real quiet. Tell them to look around, telling them we are all we got and go play for the guy next to you. The hat is in the barn. Buckle your chinstraps cause we are coming….we are coming….

If he could, he would be a starting QB somewhere. He’s a a career backup for a reason.

Noise in Denver & KC is something that is tough to prepare for. As soon as Allen got in the huddle last week, his hands were over his ears.
