They were talking about this on sports radio on Friday. They are expecting the Broncos to do more shotgun against strong pass rush Ds, and more under the center against weaker ones.

Or they were suggesting that, maybe not expecting it.

Some of that is due to the fact by the time they went exclusively shotgun, KC had moved in to more of a passive defensive strategy.

That being said, Manning is clearly more comfortable from shotgun.
