2. Can the offensive line continue to develop?
One of the biggest changes that John Elway made in the offseason had nothing whatsoever to do with the quarterback position.
After giving up 39 sacks, and averaging just over 100 yards per game in 2016, Elway set out to completely rebuild his offensive front, and it appears that he did.
Gone were Louis Vasquez and Evan Mathis. Offensive tackles Donald Stephenson and Russell Okung were signed. Tyler Polumbus retired. And center Matt Paradis was given a contract extension.
And so far it looks like it’s a little better.
Through three games, Trevor Siemian has been sacked just five times, putting him on track for 27 in 16 games. And the running game is averaging 111 yards per game.
Not top notch, but better, nonetheless.
As the season wears on, this line will need to continue to develop, and show improvement. When the weather gets colder, and the games get bigger, we know that these games will be won or lost in the trenches.
Will this offensive line be up to the task?
