Harris…we need you man. Get well!
I thaught it interesting to delve into the mind of the enemy.
It seems as if they may think our staunch run defense is a mirage.
As they make a good argument, watching tape shows that Denver clogs the middle with the best of them and forces inside runs to the outside edge. The defense also has the speed to get there. Foster is one of the best so I know he will get yardage but he is going to have to work really hard at it.
