My concerns are offense. If we get snuffed at the line and fail to pick up sufficient downs via rushing, do we have sufficient moxey to pick up downs via the air. We will lose or make games unbearably close due to our kicking game. It appears Bronco will suffer some of Lavell's woes for not focusing upon kicking game enough.

How will defense fair if it's on the field too much.

He's focused plenty on the kicking game. He's given scholarships to kickers, punters and snappers, solely for snapping the ball. Santiago averaged over 43 yards per punt last year. Payne was a highly touted kicker out of HS. Stephenson and Sorensen, signees for future years are extremely good place kickers.

There may be issues with the kicking game, but it's not due to a lack of effort or attention on Bronco's part.
