Colorado is a glass cannon. They have 2 elite wideouts and an elite QB. They run a extremely imbalanced offense. Their top RB has 20 total yards.

Travis Hunter has the most TDs but Horn is also a beast. Oline is garbage.

Our linebackers are going to do a lot of coverage so curious if anyone thinks that means a change up of personnel or base defense.

If we can't get pressure with 4 early I would take the risk and bring a blitzer in early to get Shadeur out of rhythm or force a turnover. I just don't think any secondary can neutralize Horn and Hunter for very long.

I am hoping we can run the ball a ton and take a bunch of time off the clock as well. I don't want to get in a shootout.

I can see us wearing them down in the second half but we need to avoid giving up huge plays early.

Shadeur can hurt you with his feet too so will be interesting to see how that staff tries to manage that.
