Broncos Q‑and‑A: Fourth-and-goal play — good decision, poor execution

Ques­tion: Why didn’t Bron­cos coach Vic Fan­gio use any of his time­outs as Ten­nessee was mov­ing into posi­tion for the game-win­ning field goal?

Answer: Yikes, how Fan­gio han­dled the final two-plus min­utes cer­tain­ly left him open to crit­i­cism because it’s not like a coach can car­ry over time­outs to the next game. By my look, Fan­gio had four chances to call a time­out as a way to save time for his offense if Ten­nessee punched through the go-ahead field goal. He used none, which left only 17 sec­onds for Drew Lock to run three plays.

Q: Lock made his first Week 1 start and only the sixth of his career. How did it go?

A: Lock would prob­a­bly want two throws back: He missed tight end Nick Van­nett in the end zone (although under duress) and he over­shot receiv­er Dae­Sean Hamil­ton down­field in the fourth quar­ter. Three of Lock’s 10 incom­ple­tions were drops. What was notable is how com­fort­able Lock is on designed roll­outs, espe­cial­ly when he’s not afraid to throw it back toward the mid­dle of the field like on tight end Noah Fant’s nine-yard touchdown.

Q: How con­cern­ing are the injuries to cor­ner­back A.J. Bouye (shoul­der) and run­ning back Phillip Lind­say (toe).

A: Very con­cern­ing. Remem­ber, this is a team that start­ed the sea­son with­out much depth. When Bouye was injured — he appeared to land hard on his shoul­der near the Bron­cos’ side­line — it meant two rook­ies (Michael Oje­mu­dia and Essang Bassey) were the Nos. 2–3 cor­ners behind Bryce Calla­han. Los­ing a No. 1 cor­ner like Bouye is gigan­tic. The Bron­cos do have depth at run­ning back to over­come a Lind­say absence, but again, Royce Free­man isn’t as good as Lindsay.

Q: The Bron­cos went for it on fourth-and-goal from the 1‑yard line in the sec­ond quar­ter. Right call?

A: Yes, the right call by Fan­gio to let the offense fin­ish off a 75-yard dri­ve and take a 14–7 lead. The play-call? Not great. On the pre­vi­ous two plays, the Bron­cos used “heavy” per­son­nel (three tight ends), but Lock threw incom­plete to Van­nett and Melvin Gor­don was stopped. On fourth down, the Bron­cos used three receivers. At the snap, the play looked clunky. Lock at first looked like it was a designed keep­er, but then he looked left and shov­eled a pass to tight end Jake Butt, who actu­al­ly ran into left guard Dal­ton Risner.

Q: Gor­don rushed 15 times for 78 yards. What stood out about the Bron­cos’ new run­ning back?

A: Gor­don and Lind­say start­ed the game togeth­er and Lind­say had sev­en first-half car­ries before depart­ing. What stood out about Gor­don is how he’s deci­sive when mak­ing a cut-back move and his speed when he gets his wheels turn­ing. He gained 25 yards with a nifty run. Over­all, the Bron­cos’ run­ning game aver­aged 4.1 yards per attempt (26 car­ries-107 yards).
