Nathaniel Hackett, the Broncos' first-year head coach, has made numerous time management mistakes in the team's first two games. On Sunday, the situation deteriorated to the point where the home crowd began counting down the play clock to ensure that the Broncos understood when to snap the ball.
Hackett announced on Monday that he and the rest of the coaching staff had met to talk about making play calls more quickly during games and that they would meet again on Monday night. He claimed that to resolve those problems, the team needed to "tighten that process up" and communicate effectively with quarterback Russell Wilson.
According to Jeff Legwold of ESPN.com, Hackett stated, "We've got to make sure the communication is clear and straightforward." "I must make judgments more quickly and accurately and convey that information to the quarterback. It must get better.
The Broncos have issues with timeout waste and taking a delay of game penalties, and through the first two weeks of the season, they are 0-for-6 in the red zone. Even though they defeated the Texans on Sunday, it did result in jeers and the counting down of the play clock, so Hackett has a lot to work on before his third game in his new position.
