The Facts:
Last season, the Broncos offense ran 1,090 plays – the highest number since 2000. Next season, that number could go even higher. When Adam Gase was promoted to offensive coordinator, he said that his offense would play even faster than last year’s. "We're looking to go pedal to the metal, play as fast as possible, be aggressive and score as many points as possible every game," he said. "Put (quarterback) Peyton Manning in a position to play as fast as he can play.”

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
As DenverBroncos.com staffer Stuart Zaas notes, Manning and the rest of the offense will be in a better position to play at a higher tempo having one year in the system under their belts. Last year, everyone on offense was learning on the go with an offensive playbook that was overhauled when Manning joined the team as a free agent. Heading into 2013, Manning is another year removed from his neck surgeries that forced him to miss the 2011 season, and he has 16 regular-season games plus one postseason contest worth of experience with his teammates. And now, with an entire offseason to build around Manning at QB, Gase and the rest of the offensive staff will continue expanding on the playbook that led Denver to rank second in the league in scoring. “You can do more,” HC John Fox said. “You don’t put it all in at once, because guys can’t learn it. ... It takes time. So I think year two will be a lot better than year one.” The addition of Wes Welker won't hurt.
