ENGLEWOOD, Colo. -- Amid all the talk of two-tight end sets and the potential use of I, offset I and pistol formations, with one tight end and two wide receivers, don't forget that the slot receiver still matters in the Broncos' offense.
Three-wide sets are unlikely to be used to the same degree as during the last three seasons, but that doesn't mean they won't be relevant -- especially when Emmanuel Sanders returns to the gameday lineup and moves over to the slot, as he noted as far back as April when he met the media after he began to learn about his role in the tweaked offensive scheme.
