Rich Eisen amazed by Broncos’ transformation to option team
NFL Network host Rich Eisen joined the show to talk about the Broncos-Jets game and more.
Eisen can’t wait to see the Broncos’ unorthodox run-first style. “Here’s a team essentially wearing leather helmets,” Eisen said.
Eisen said that the NFL Network analysts have studied Denver and it really is unbelievably option-heavy — like a college team. “It really is amazing to [watch] the transformation of the Broncos’ offense,” Eisen said.
Eisen said that Jets coach Rex Ryan wrote a book on the 46 defense in 1999 and had 20 pages on how to stop the option. He thinks Ryan will have his players hit Tebow early and often.
