ENGLEWOOD — Nathaniel Hackett is different. And after six straight seasons without a playoff berth, the Broncos needed a jolt.
In my latest Denver7 storylines piece, I examine how important Hackett remains to lifting the Broncos out of the abyss. Russell Wilson is central to this process. The Broncos spent the past six seasons employing an offense as annoying as a robocall . It feels like he has tapped into something to create longer attention spans, while making presentations more interesting.
If the blend of Hackett's vision and Wilson's strengths works, the quarterback will improve his accuracy because of easy short passes, while shaving down some of the sacks because an effective running game will create wide open play-action gash plays. The second thing sounds obvious, but cannot be taken for granted. Hackett must create accountability. No one disputes that Vic Fangio knew football. But his lack of interest in the offense and special teams created fissures. When a team struggles to score 17 points a game at home and gets booed by its fans, a head coach must step in and demand change in players' usage, play-calling.
"He's not afraid to make guys uncomfortable and hold guys accountable. He constantly does it. He’s going to hold you accountable, let you know when you do something wrong. He’s going to push you out of your comfort zone," Risner told Denver7 recently."He wants to win games, man. We haven’t done that the last few years. We all respect that."
