But it’s not going to come down to those players; it’s going to come down to the coaching."
Lindsay even called out the rest of the Denver media for giving Coach Prime a pass for his shortcomings in coaching. He referenced Denver Broncos head coach Sean Payton and the criticism over a lack of effort this past fall. “We criticized Sean Payton last year for some of the things he did on the coaching side of it,” Lindsay said. “And there should have been a lot of criticism for Coach Prime and what he brought to the table as a coach in certain situations. That has to get better. And then it’s the unknown of your offensive and defensive coordinators.
