OL adjustments
Coaching staff is opting to start Khalil Benson at left tackle and Jaylen Moore at right tackle, potentially prioritizing a scheme-heavy approach to minimize protection weaknesses.
Defensive transition
Youth in the secondary and the absence of key personnel like Shamari Connor force defensive staff to rely on less proven players to anchor the unit against Denver.
Bolton's role
Defensive schemes will center heavily on linebacker Nick Bolton, who faces increased responsibility to anchor a unit undergoing significant roster turnover.
Predictions
Expectations lean toward heavy involvement for Xavier Worthy and a strategic reliance on multiple running backs to maintain offensive rhythm against Denver.
