Why are we complaining when Bronco is trying to raise the level of intensity? Sometimes the timing isn't right for a butt kicking, sometimes being constructive and trying to instruct is better. It hasn't worked up til now so Bronco is trying a different aproach. I hope it works. If we don't see an offense that gives 100% on every play this week, I am going to be concerned. Someone needed to light a fire under the offense, and that someone is Bronco.
Actually Bronco isn't trying a different approach. This the first approach Bronco is trying. Up until now he has left the offense to its own devices when it's been more than apparent that there has been a HUGE gap in player, and possibly even coach, leadership on teh offensive side of the ball.
I can appreciate Bronco's approach. Let your leaders lead. Sometimes it takes time for fixes to be made. I think Bronco was holding off getting involved with the offense. Perhaps he saw the players/coaches/leaders making changes and he was waiting to see if those changes worked or not. Unfortunately, it's taken him seven weeks to realize they weren't and that enough chances had been given and it was time to step in.
