Bronco great, Karl Mecklenberg posted this on his Facebook account tonight... I think it's pretty decent analysis and pretty well agree with it. Thought people here might find it interesting...

Knowshon Moreno and Robert Ayers are no longer Broncos. Their last game with Denver was the Super Bowl and the writing was on the wall at that time. Robert Ayers has had a history of being undisciplined especially when he is supposed to contain. Contain is when you are the end player on the line of scrimmage and you are not supposed to let the ball carrier get outside of you. I counted four big plays in the Super Bowl where Seattle broke contain on his side of the ball. Every time they challenged the perimeter with reverses and bootlegs was towards Ayers.
I love Knowshon Moreno. His physical and mental toughness as well as leadership this past year was tremendous. He ran the ball hard every time he touched it, and was a good pass receiver and blocker. The one thing that Knowshon is not is a game breaker. The longest run in his career is 36 yards. In 845 carries he has yet to break a long one. In the Super Bowl the Seattle Seahawks put 6 in the box and dared the Broncos to run. The Broncos didn’t trust Knowshon in that situation. They needed a game breaker running back to put fear in the secondary and force the defense to respect the run. The Seahawks didn’t believe that Knowshon could do it and neither did the Broncos.
Good luck to both Robert and Knowshon with their new teams.
