The Denver Broncos’ plan to beat the New York Jets: Two areas to dominate

The Denver Broncos are still on the move and preparing for the challenge New York Jets. The Broncos are the underdogs of the 2-1 Jets, as they were against them Tampa Bay Buccaneers on the road where the Broncos got their first win.

It’s another difficult defense for the Broncos’ offense. The Jets represent the fourth major defense Denver has faced to start the season.

This has led to some difficult times for Bo Nix and the Broncos offense. The Broncos defense has been great, especially in pass defense, as their run defense has been one of the worst in the NFL to date.

Today we’ll look at what the Broncos will focus on in Week 4.

Given the struggles the Broncos had in the first three games, the Jets are a strong team to attack. The Broncos must identify and attack these areas of focus as they are determined to get their record to even 2-2 with a third road game before returning home at an even .500 instead of 1-3 for the next two games. because that puts them in a good position for the rest of the season.

Offensively, the Broncos’ wide receivers have to find ways to get into the offense. The Jets allow the lowest average yardage for a defense at 2.8 yards, with the second lowest being 3.1 yards.

On an individual level, the three-year NFL average was 2.8 yards of separation. Sauce Garnder and DJ Reed are 2.1 and 1.9 yards apart, while Brandin Echols and Michael Carter II are 1.9 and 3.1 yards apart, respectively. Carter, the nickel corner, is the only one who gives up a little more distance than average.

Among Broncos receivers, Courtland Suttin has an average yardage of 2.2 yards, the lowest on the team, while Josh Reynolds has the second-lowest yardage at 2.6. Lil’Jordan Humphrey is at 3.2 and Devaughn Vele is at 4.4, the only two receivers to qualify.

It’s worth noting that all eight of Vele’s targets came on passes under the 10-yard mark, with an average air yard of 2.1, so those short routes at or behind the line of scrimmage increase his separation, especially when outside of it hit cover.

The Jets are known for their tight coverage and the Broncos’ receivers found it difficult to create separation. Although Gardner has struggled in coverage this season, he continues to play strong and could bounce back at any moment.

The Broncos understand the urgency of finding ways to get out of the Jets’ tight coverage. This is an important area that Denver needs to address to improve its offensive performance.

The defense’s job is clear and strategic: prevent Breece Hall from dominating the game. The Broncos will need to step up their game against the run as the Jets will likely rely on Hall’s speed and agility to win.

It’s important to note that the threat doesn’t just come from Hall, as rookie Braelon Allen is also off to a strong start. The Broncos are focused on containing both of these threats to improve their defensive performance.

While the Broncos have done well against power defenders like Allen, they have struggled with Hall’s quickness, quickness and agility. Meanwhile, Allen has been the Jets’ more successful back with a positive 2.2 rushing EPA, while Hall has a negative 9.2 and averages 3.7 yards per carry.

The Broncos can’t let Hall play his catch-up game and find a way to slow him down. The task of achieving this became even more difficult when it was announced that Alex Singleton had suffered a torn ACL and would be out for the remainder of the season.

Despite being tied for the NFL’s lead in missed tackles in 2023, Singleton is a capable run defender, and the rest of the Broncos’ linebacker corps has concerns in that regard.

This is a battle of weakness against weakness, as the Jets have the 14th-worst success rate running the ball and the Broncos’ boom-or-bust run defense ranks 13th in most runs allowed over 10 yards, but also fifth – highest run stuff rate. Again, Hall’s style is similar to the other defenders the Broncos struggled with more in the first three games, while Allen’s style was more boom.

Offensively, the Broncos will have to find a way to get past the Jets’ tight coverage. This is due to individual talent and the defensive system.

The Broncos defense is tasked with being consistent against the run and slowing it down, regardless of the type of back they play. They want to force the Jets to throw the ball, as the Broncos have had one of the best pass defenses in the NFL this season.
