Broncos may struggle to replace Lloyd Cushenberry III at center
An interesting tweet form March popped up in my feed that gave me pause. The chart from Football Insights broke down the pressure responsibility for each position along the offensive line and the results were compelling. For the Denver Broncos, it seems to suggest that filling Lloyd Cushenberry’s shoes at center could be a problem.
Allowed pressure last season by offensive line/their percentage of dropbacks with some responsibility, and QB self-owned pressures.

The whole interior line was strong overall, but Cush was one of the best centers in the league at not giving up pressures due to his responsibilities in protection. 6% was tied for the lowest percentage of all centers in the league, so that means Alex Forsythe or whoever ends up starting will have some big shoes to fill in 2024.
Also important to note that Russell Wilson led all quarterbacks in terms of being to blame for the largest share of pressures. He was a big part of the problem last year. Overall, the offensive line in Denver looks pretty strong and even their right tackle issues were merely slightly above average compared to the rest of the right tackles in the league.
If they can get good play out of their center this season, then Denver could be returning a fairly strong offensive line unit in the passing game. if that plays out, then it will bode well for rookie Bo Nix this season.

For the first time in the team’s history, Altitude Sports is broadcasting Denver Nuggets home games in Spanish. Kroenke Sports and Entertainment announced it has contracted a team to broadcast its games in Spanish for the playoffs.
“I think that is what the public wanted,” said Ivan De La Garza, producer for the broadcast team.
A team of three people, two commentators and a producer, sit in a press box at the top of Ball Arena. Their commentary is then synced with the traditional Altitude broadcast video and shared on the Altitude Plus application.
“With the Nuggets winning in the last five years, there is a tremendous amount of following from Latino people trying to listen to and watch the games in Spanish,” said Andres Casas, color commentator for the broadcast.
Casas said he strives to bring the same energy fans get during soccer broadcasts into the basketball broadcasts.
“That excitement that gets you. We want people to feel they are at the game,” Casas said.
“It has been so amazing to be a part of the Spanish broadcast for the Nuggets. I have been a fan of the Nuggets for my whole life,” said Jena Garcia, play-by-play commentator.
Garcia said it has been a dream come true to help bring this broadcast to her community.
“I’ve always desired to hear a Spanish broadcast, just as a fan. To be a part of it is just incredible,” Garcia said.
Those working in the broadcast said they are honored to help expand the reach of the Nuggets and sports in accessing diverse communities.
“We love sports. We are passionate, we are loud. We like to get together and enjoy sports,” De La Garza said.
“The Nuggets have a huge following, especially on the Spanish side. So, it is great for them to be able to listen to what is going on, game by game, especially into the playoffs,” Casas said.
“It is just another step of access that they are getting to be a fan of basketball,” Garcia said.
