Broncos coach reflects on Dobbins’ heavy workload in narrow defeat to Colts

In a closely contested matchup, the Denver Broncos fell just short against the Indianapolis Colts, losing 29-28. A key point of discussion following the game was the significant disparity in carries between running backs J.K. Dobbins and RJ Harvey.

Dobbins shines with increased carries

J.K. Dobbins, the standout back for the Broncos, was featured prominently in the game plan, receiving nearly three times the carries compared to his teammate, RJ Harvey. This strategic decision raised eyebrows among fans and analysts alike, prompting questions about the distribution of touches in the Broncos’ backfield.

Coaching insights on the decision

Following the game, Broncos head coach addressed the rationale behind the increased workload for Dobbins. He emphasized Dobbins’ experience and ability to handle a heavy load in critical moments. “We felt that J.K. was in a rhythm and capable of making big plays,” the coach explained. “His performance warranted the trust we placed in him throughout the game.”

Harvey’s role in the offense

While Harvey received fewer opportunities, the coaching staff remains optimistic about his potential. The Broncos are keen on developing Harvey as a versatile option in their offense. The coach noted, “RJ has a bright future ahead of him. We want to ensure he’s given the right moments to shine.”

Looking ahead

As the Broncos assess their performance in this narrow loss, the focus will undoubtedly shift to refining their offensive strategy. With Dobbins clearly established as a primary weapon, finding the right balance in the backfield will be crucial as they prepare for upcoming games.
