Under first-year head coach Nathaniel Hackett, the Broncos are hanging their hat on yet another offshoot of the Kyle Shanahan-Sean McVay offense.
The current renditions of these teams, though, also have overlap. Under first-year head coach Nathaniel Hackett, the Broncos are hanging their hat on yet another offshoot of the Shanahan-Sean McVay offense, which is rooted in the system that Mike Shanahan popularized in Denver in the mid-1990s.
Now they face off against each other, with Hackett and company in the process of trying to put together an offensive system built on the same zone-based run game principles and then tailored to quarterback Russell Wilson’s strong suits. This is the way of the world in the NFL, though Shanahan wishes it wasn’t quite so.
Not only did the Broncos defense get extensive work against its offense during camp, but it also features three regulars who are former 49ers in defensive lineman D.J. Jones, inside linebacker Jonas Griffith and nickel K’Waun Williams. First-year defensive coordinator Ejiro Evero spent the past five seasons with the Los Angeles Rams and now is preparing for Shanahan’s offense for the 12th time in the past five-plus seasons.
“No. 1, do they believe in it?” he said. “And if they believe in it, do you know what you’re talking about? If you believe in it, then you’ve got a chance to start with. If you believe in it, you’re going to run it and you’re not going to give up on it.”
