The 2016 regular season officially commenced with a back-and-forth match-up between the reigning Super Bowl champions, the Denver Broncos, playing the Carolina Panthers at home. The Panthers were a favorite as Peyton Manning retired and the Broncos had to rely on a new quarterback Trevor Siemian. Instead of throwing their running back to the wolves, Gary Kubiak showed a revamped running game led by C.J. Anderson.
In this video breakdown, I took a look at how the Broncos outside zone stretch and how they paired that with the 22/23 Slam “gap” style play to gain big yards.
