Broncos Find Compromise With Pistol Formation 

Post#1 » by RealGM Wiretap » Mon Sep 28, 2015 5:08 pm

The Denver Broncos have seemed to find a solution to their offense that satisfies both Peyton Manning and Gary Kubiak with the pistol.

Kubiak wants a quarterback under center because it forces a defense to honor both sides of a formation unlike the shotgun.

Manning went 31-of-42 for 324 yards and two touchdowns in Week 3. Denver's offense played faster than they have all season and Manning was able to fade into his comfort zone.

"That was something coaches came up with during the week," Manning told reporters. "Green Bay did it last year against them late in the season and had pretty good success with it, so something that we've repped throughout training camp. But something they wanted to do this week and I imagine it'll be a part of the arsenal throughout the season whether we use it next week or two weeks from now, I don't know."
