I know the Denver D hasn't faced any real lights out offence yet, but they're scheme is solid. I have faith they'll continue to play well throughout the year. Buckhalter and Moreno are an amazing 1-2 punch, and Orton's lack of turnovers will always give them a chance to win.
The Broncos are really just playing basic football. Win the turnover battle, win the field position battle and you will always have a good shot at winning. The only games I see them losing big are if they get into a shootout with someone. Orton is too cautious with the ball to win in a shootout. Ball control, keep it close, trust the D, don't turn it over. I'm much happier with the 09-10 Broncos than the squad last year. I always disliked Cutler for the "gunslinger" mentality, and really do think Orton gives them the best chance to win this year.
