Sean Payton hints Broncos could make changes to offensive line after bye week

Changes might be coming to the Denver Broncos' offensive line following the team's bye week.

During an interview with Colin Cowherd on "The Herd" on Wednesday, Broncos coach Sean Payton said the team will "closely" look at the offensive line during their Week 10 bye.

"There is still that yellow tape around the offense that says work in progress," Payton said. "It just is. I would say this, so much of what we're able to do offensively — run the ball, have balance — can really make Bo's job easier. ... Now, getting specific, like, man, I'm watching the cutups of the game we just played, and we didn't block them very well. And I am just being honest. That has to improve. We've got plenty of depth in the offensive line. During this bye, we are going to look at all those little things closely."

Payton did not specifically name any players, but left guard Ben Powers ranks 51st among guards with a 57.9 overall rating from Pro Football Focus this season (and 58th in run blocking). Meanwhile, Broncos center Luke Wattenberg has had several errant snaps this fall. Alex Palczewski filled in well for an injured Powers last season, and backup center Alex Forsyth has played well in his six career starts. Denver also used a fourth-round pick to select guard/center Kage Casey in April.

Given how well Palczewski has played in the past and how much Powers has struggled this season, that swap seems the most likely (but that's merely speculation). We'll see if the Broncos make any changes when they return from their bye to host the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 11 on Nov. 22.
