Steve Spagnuolo

it.

The reason why, and hear me out on this, because Steve Spagnuolo is notoriously known as one of the most highly effective adjusters in his game plan.

He does such a great job of adjusting what he brought in with his game plan.

Not necessarily halftime adjustments.

It's little things from, running like a true four down defensive line to getting two guys standing up on the edge and like changing up the pass rushers and stuff like that changing the coverage scheme from primarily man to like match three he does a lot of like really cool and intricate things defensively and it's really difficult to kind of like diagnose that i want to know exactly what davis webb does to kind of counter punch that counter punch if you if you understand what i'm getting at like How exactly are you like to me? I think it's going to be a lot of quick passing game trying to get the ball into Jalen Waddle's hands early.

I think that he's going to have a gigantic game first and foremost.

But what does Steve Spagnuolo do to counteract that? Like how is he going to start playing some more press coverage with it with a man sort of lane who plays really well in press coverage like Jerry Steve really well in press coverage? what do they do to counteract that? Are we going to see more, you know, motion screenplays? Like how do they get away from that password? It's like, to me, I think that the way that, that Davis Webb in his first game, real game as a professional play caller, what does he do to counteract the counterpunch and to continue to keep this offense clicking? That's the biggest thing.

Well, and she missed the keyword there.

Is this a trend to tail with under 43.5 points or a trap to fade with over 43.5 points? Now, this is where it's really important to understand the matchups, not only on the field, but with the coaching staffs.

New Broncos offensive coordinator Davis Webb is gonna be calling plays for the first time versus Chiefs defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo.

Yes, the Steve Spagnuolo that has won Super Bowls as a defensive [chuckles] coordinator, who...

Advantage Spagnuolo, in my opinion, in terms of play calling.

Broncos defensive coordinator Vance Josephs, like I mentioned...

And not because they're at home, even though at home in Arrowhead Stadium, they just play like a completely different team than when they are on the road.

Like it is hard being the Steve Spagnuolo defense when they're at home.

The Broncos have a great defense, too.

I just also feel like there's just too much doubt with Patrick Mahomes, and I'm fearful of that.

Exactly.

I don't know either.

But I do know Steve Spagnuolo has a proven track record with Kansas City.

And yes, I understand what you're saying, too, that they traded away Trent McDuffie.

He provides the explosive variance that counteracts the close game regression you are so concerned about.

And that assumes Bo Nix has the consistent mechanical base to drive the ball down the field and that Davis Webb doesn't buckle under the pressure of calling plays against Steve Spagnuolo in week two.

Webb is prepared for this.

There are simply too many fragile variables.

And in this case, you've got two divisional rivals.

I think when you talked about Steve Spagnuolo and how creative he has been and how he's not afraid to pressure in any given situation – I don't imagine that will change, but I think he'd be – I would believe he'll look at this Broncos team a little bit differently now because of Jalen Waddell.

If you're going to pressure and you're going to lock up – That's, I mean, that's feast or famine.

You better make sure you get there, right? One, you've got one of the fastest receivers in football to deal with.

They have a lot of playmakers on offense, so finding a way to get them involved will be a challenge, but in my opinion, that's a good one to have.

How Webb goes about drafting up a game plan to battle Steve Spagnuolo's defense will be a fascinating one to watch unfold.

And this is a huge benefit because fortunately for us, they've never seen, you know, Jalen Waddell on the Broncos besides like a very brief stint.

in the preseason against the Packers, where it looked pretty dang good to us.
