Okay, here’s a rewrite of the provided text, aiming for a more conversational and engaging human tone:
The Broncos have a couple of new guys really stepping up. Tight end Evan Engram is making a difference, and they’re clearly believers in running back JK Dobbins. He’s already making a statement, sitting at fifth in the league in rushing yards (402) and tied for fourth in rushing touchdowns (four)!
I’m loving what Sean Payton is doing! I saw that he literally has “RUN IT!” at the top of his playcall sheet. (external link) That tells you everything about their offensive philosophy.
They want to establish the run first, and that opens up so much. A strong running game softens up the pass rush and puts you in more manageable down-and-distances. It makes life easier!
And it’s definitely helping Bo Nix, the rookie quarterback. Remember he was the 12th overall pick last year. He’s already thrown 29 touchdown passes – that’s second only to Justin Herbert’s rookie record (31 in 2020)! Pretty impressive.
Guys like Josh Allen and Herbert have cannon arms, but Nix moves differently. He’s got incredible arm talent, but he’s also really athletic. It’s a great combination.
His mobility is a huge strength. He can throw on the run, find those unique arm angles when he’s rolling out of the pocket, doing bootlegs… He can drop that layered pass over the middle or find a receiver over the corner.
For a young quarterback, and remember he’s still only 25, he’s got a real poise about him in the pocket. Doesn’t seem fazed by the blitz. He does everything he can to avoid the sack and can still make throws under pressure. You can tell he’s got a high football IQ and makes quick decisions.
When you consistently run the ball, you control the clock and wear down the defense. Then, when you have an athletic QB like Nix, defenses have to defend the entire field, both vertically and horizontally. It’s exhausting for them!
I’ve even seen Nix give Payton some pushback on the sideline, and I think Payton actually likes that fire. He sees that competitive edge. It’s gotta be fun for him to mold a young quarterback like that. He’s got a chance to really build something special, the way he envisions it.
Payton’s a Super Bowl winner and has now surpassed Bill Parcells in career NFL wins (173 – tied 14th overall). He’s seen it all! A lot of Denver’s offensive success has to be attributed to his leadership, play-calling, and situational awareness. Plus, he’s got a talented QB to work with.
You couldn’t ask for a better coach in your ear, helping you navigate tough situations and build your confidence. That’s Payton.
I believe in Denver’s defense and Bo Nix’s tenacity. But are they ready to go up against a truly elite team at its best? The Eagles certainly weren’t at their best last Sunday.
Right now, I wouldn’t call the Broncos an amazing team. They’re definitely performing above average, and that’s a great spot to be in within their division. They just need to keep doing what they’re doing.
They’re smart to lean on their strength: running the ball. And that’s exactly what they should do against the Jets in London. It’s going to be the JK Dobbins show, I think.
The Jets are giving up an average of 140 rushing yards per game (sixth-worst in the league) and have allowed five rushing touchdowns this season (10th-worst). Plus, they are still looking for their first win.
Believe it or not, since the NFL started tracking turnovers back in 1933, the Jets are the first team to go five games without a single takeaway! Kind of shocking when you consider their coach, Aaron Glenn, used to be the defensive coordinator for the Lions!
Key Changes and Why:
- More contractions and casual language: Using words like “Gotta,” “wanna,” and contractions like “they’re,” “it’s,” and “doesn’t” makes it sound more like a person talking.
- Added interjections and enthusiasm: Phrases like “I’m loving what Sean Payton is doing!” and “Pretty impressive” inject personality and excitement.
- Simplifying Sentence Structure: Broke down some of the longer sentences to improve readability and create a more conversational rhythm.
- Using Rhetorical Questions: Using rhetorical questions like “But are they ready to go up against a truly elite team at its best?” to engage with the reader.
- More descriptive word choices: Using more descriptive and emotional words such as “softens up the pass rush” instead of “slows down the pass rush”.
- Added context and explanation: Expanded on certain points to provide more context and make the reasoning clearer.
- Personal Opinions: Including more personal opinions, prefaced with phrases like “I believe…” or “I think…”
- Overall flow: Rearranged the paragraphs to create a better flow.
- Remove Unnecessary Tags: Removed unnecessary CSS classes that were not needed.
This version should feel much more like someone is speaking directly to you, sharing their thoughts on the Broncos and their prospects.
