Tyler Polumbus Day?

I think it's safe to say the Vikings D will be coming with some heavy artillery on Denver's left side in this game. Yikes! Have a feeling that we will see Manning rolling to his right a bit more in this one.

I would figure the opposite. The untested lineman will be in our right side.

Schofield to Right Tackle - Harris to Left Tackle - per Kubes. This certainly tells you what the Broncos think of Schofield as a potential Left Tackle - as he has had reps on the left side in pre-season, but Harris has not had reps on the left side with the Broncos.

Harris is actually one of the few Notre Dame guys - I have come to like.

This is where we need BroncoGreg to come in and set things straight

Not to thrilled with the way this o line is looking and health wise as well. This isn't good at all.

So a few things about this move. Harris to LT makes the most sense. He is the guy with the most experience playing at the position and honestly has been the one OL guy the last 2 weeks that has graded out positively. I think he is the one that gives Manning the most comfort that he can hold up at the position. Throw in during preseason Schofield actually graded out very well on the right side. Left side not so much. So this gives us our best group considering the situation.

Now as for what the offense will look like. I actually hope the Broncos space the Vikings out. This seems counter to what you would want to do with 2 guys moving positions but with spacing them out it makes it much easier for Manning to see where the blitz is coming from and how to adjust accordingly. It also keeps the Vikings from being able to stick 8-9 guys in the box and make it difficult to tell who is coming. I would say the quick slants and screens (2 things the Vikings have struggled to cover all year so far) will be a huge part of the quick hitting offense in the hopes of slowing some of those pass rushers down.
