John Elway caught some flack this past week after an interview where he described his vision for the Broncos offense.
When introducing Joe Flacco at the team’s introductory press conference for the new Denver quarterback, Elway said this about their approach: “we’ll try to run the football, play-action and throw the ball down the field.”
Seems harmless enough, and makes sense after the Broncos boasted a top five rushing offense in yards per carry last year, led by electric rookie, Philip Lindsay.
However, it was how the team planned to run the ball, play action, and throw the ball down the field that had Twitter and the media abuzz.
