2. The Dallas offensive line will surprise Denver’s defense.
Let’s be real for a moment here. The Dallas Cowboys’ offensive line is unreal.
Are the Broncos ready for that defensively?
The Broncos’ defense has had to go up against the best offensive lines in football over the past year’s time, playing against Oakland twice and facing off against Tennessee last year, but they may not face an offensive line as good as the one in Dallas.
Dallas has three first-team All-Pro selections on its offensive line. That’s borderline unfair. How will the Broncos’ defense attack that?
I think at least in the initial stages of the game, the Broncos’ defense will be surprised at how good these guys, led by left tackle Tyron Smith, actually are.
That doesn’t mean the Broncos won’t ultimately make adjustments, but it’s one thing to watch these guys on tape and see them at work. It’s another entirely to try and stop their running game or get pressure on when they have such a balanced attack.
