The Denver Broncos are sitting at a 4-2 record after six weeks, but if you’ve been watching, you know their offense has been a mess, and now Super Bowl 50 champion Chris Harris is calling out exactly why it’s not all on QB Bo Nix. While everyone’s been hyping up Denver’s defense since Week 1, the offense, especially Nix, has been the target of major criticism for their slow starts and outright struggles.
Harris Calls Out The “Totality” Of The Offensive Mess
Harris jumped on FanDuel TV’s “Up and Adams” show and dropped some serious truth. He flat out said the blame for this struggling offense isn’t just on Nix’s shoulders. “I can’t say it’s just Bo, you gotta say it’s the whole totality of the offense,” Harris stated. We’ve all seen it: there are times when “Bo is just not letting it go, like not letting it loose,” which definitely isn’t helping. But Harris’s point is clear: it’s not a one-man show of failure. The entire unit needs to step up if they want to turn things around.
Unlocking Waddle And Getting The Run Game Back
What else is holding this Broncos offense back? Harris highlighted their “anemic rushing attack” as a huge concern. They’ve been missing rookie running back Jonah Coleman, who’s been out for four weeks on injured reserve. The good news is Coleman is eligible to return this week, and the team is banking on him to somehow lift this stagnant run game out of its current obscurity. Plus, there’s the whole Jaylen Waddle situation. The guy is explosive when he gets the ball, no doubt, but it just hasn’t come his way nearly enough. Harris emphasized, “They gotta find a way to unlock Waddle. We haven’t unlocked him yet, Courtland hasn’t played his game yet.” It sounds like there’s a serious lack of execution and perhaps play design to get their playmakers involved.
Harris’s final message for the offense was short and to the point: “They gotta get it together.” That next opportunity to finally get things going? It’s on Sunday against the Arizona Cardinals. You know, the same Cardinals who are coming off a massive upset win over the Los Angeles Rams in Week 6. The Broncos better figure out how to unlock their talent and fix these deeper offensive issues, and fast, before that 4-2 record starts looking a lot less shiny.
