The Facts: Newly-appointed OC Rick Dennison will look to have a more balanced attack in 2015. A trademark of Dennison’s traditional coaching style, Denver will now look to rely on both the rushing and passing offense as opposed to last year’s emphasis on the passing game. “It’s a totally different set up, but I tell you what, the more and more I’m in it,” said Sanders. “Because we can get the run game going and just use my vertical speed on cross routes and all these different combinations of routes is based off the play action, then I think the offense will be successful with Peyton Manning at the helm.”

Diehards Line: Still, the shift could affect Sanders, who hauled in 101 receptions for 1,404 yards in 2014, the third-most in the AFC and fifth-most in the NFL. Teamed with Demaryius Thomas’ 1,698 receiving yards, the wide receiver duo were the only teammates to each tally more than 1,400 receiving yards in the NFL. “It’s definitely different,” said Sanders. “It’s not going to be one of those offenses where you catch it and you’re going to have two receivers catching over 100 passes. ... Hopefully, my goal is really to try to get a 1,000 yards to just help this team win ball games.”
