X-Factors for the Denver Broncos

Ty: Speaking of Phillip Lindsay and Melvin Gordon, do you believe they will be the ones that make a huge impact on the game or is there someone else that you have your eye on that will help?

Romi: I think the other player to keep an eye on is Tim Patrick. He had a big game last week. Patrick has always been there behind Courtland Sutton. With Sutton hurt, he is seizing the opportunity. The Broncos drafted Jerry Jeudy and KJ Hamler as a compliment to Sutton, not a replacement.

When Sutton got hurt, it changed the dynamic. Let’s face it. Jeudy and Hamler are fast, but they do not instill fear in a safety running downhill to make a tackle. But Patrick has that big body. He is a big able blocker. A guy is going to think twice before hitting him.

He is going to be a key, especially since Noah Fant is likely going to be out. So, Patrick comes in as that big wide receiver, small tight end role. He is willing to block, is a good blocker. He fills both roles in helping the run game and has made some great catches.

I think Tim Patrick is a little bit of a gem. He could find himself getting a starting job out of this season. He will be a big key for the Broncos. Defense’s have to respect that guy. They can’t ignore him. You throw the 50-50 ball and Patrick is going to get it hopefully.

That can also help Jeudy have a bigger game, because he will not be watched as much because you have to keep an eye on Tim Patrick.
