2. New pieces at center and right guard.

The center position is an important piece along the offensive line. In the case of the Broncos, they are likely rolling with rookie Lloyd Cushenberry following five years with Matt Paradis, and then one year with Connor McGovern.

At right guard is Graham Glasgow, formerly of the Detroit Lions.

As is the case for any new pieces on the team, it is very difficult to build chemistry if you are not able to get together and practice. With five players on the offensive line, it becomes more of a concern because they all need to be on the same page with each other.

The center is tasked with making offensive line calls and letting the other four guys know who they are supposed to block and if there are blitzers coming at them. They have to identify the Mike linebacker.

As for when they face other teams, they will have to go against guys like Vic Beasley, Frank Clark, Joey Bosa, and Melvin Ingram.

Regardless of the fact that they can’t get together right now, the players I just mentioned will be very difficult to play against.
