The Denver Broncos are preparing to play the Cardinals on Sunday at home, and fans are looking for the most recent updates.
Check out the latest buzz below.
Tough Choices in Pass Defense Against Cardinals
The Broncos face some tough choices against the improved Cardinals.
For one, they don’t know whether Carson Palmer, who has missed two of the first three games with a shoulder injury, will be out there--or his backup Drew Stanton, who is 2-0 this year.
And star receiver Larry Fitzgerald has been joined by rookie wideout John Brown, who leads the team with three touchdown receptions.
“For the Broncos it means giving Fitzgerald the attention he warrants and still finding a way to handle the rest,” noted ESPN.
“Beyond Fitzgerald, the Broncos will have keep Michael Floyd from the big play -- he leads the league in yards per catch at 22.9 -- and match Brown’s speed.”
The Broncos have readied the lineup for this kind of threat, adding Aqib Talib and rookie Bradley Roby. The team had Roby cover Reggie Wayne basically by himself in the season opener while putting Chris Harris Jr. against Percy Harvin in week 2.
The Broncos, who have played out of their nickel package (five defensive backs) just under 60 percent of the time thus far, figure to keep to that schedule in Sunday’s game. The Broncos have even used it in some run-first, down-and-distance situations because they like the speed it gives them in the formation,” ESPN reported.
“I went back in the slot (against the Seahawks) and I don’t think many people thought I would be back in the slot all time against somebody,” said Harris Jr. “But we can line up a lot of ways and we have to because we’re going to play teams with good receivers looking to move them around. But I think we can do more things this year against that.”
