1. Tyler Polumbus/Michael Schofield
I don’t know why I’m still having to say Michael Schofield’s name, but apparently, he’s still contributing something to this team.
Kubiak won't name starter at RT. Says he still has confidence in Michael Schofield.

I’m not sure what tape Gary Kubiak has been watching, but from what I can tell, I might be better at anchoring down the right side of that line, and I can barely crack 140 pounds. If Polumbus isn’t starting come kickoff on Sunday, Schofield better have taken some of Russell Wilson’s “miracle water.”
Either way, all that matters is that whoever is at right tackle is doing their job to a competent degree. I’m not asking for brilliance; I’m just asking for him not to be the worst offensive lineman in the NFL, which is exactly what Schofield has been.
The sad truth is that the Broncos offensive line hasn’t been as miserable as they’ve been made out to be this season; Schofield has just been so bad that he’s dragged the rest of the unit down with him, especially Louis Vasquez. If that position can just be okay, then maybe the Broncos line can start playing a little more like they did during the second half of the at Chargers game when, oh yeah, Polumbus was put in the game.
But if that right side of the line continues to be a revolving door for pass rushers, it doesn’t matter who’s at quarterback, this offense is going nowhere.
