Not everyone is down on Zampese

Have you taken a look at Denver's pass rush?  They're pretty good at getting to the QB in a hurry.  If there is any hope of throwing them off balance, it's going to take some dedicated run blocking.  Carolina is typically a good run blocking team, and they had their hands full..
