Broncos offense, light on playmakers, has to lean heavily on RBs Javonte Williams, Samaje Perine

Published Mon, 16 Dec 2024 15:24:43 GMT

At first glance, the production from the Denver running back tandem of Javonte Williams and Samaje Perine from a Week 1 loss to Las Vegas was solid, if unspectacular.The duo combined to rush 21 times for 93 yards, good for 4.4 per carry.Dig a little bit deeper, and you’ll quickly see how integral the pair of backs is to where the Broncos are trying to go and how much head coach Sean Payton is likely to rely on them in the coming weeks.Williams and Perine logged four catches apiece on 10 targets for another 42 yards, including 37 for Perine.That means 52% of the Broncos’ net offensive yardage came compliments of their two top running backs. Of 55 offensive snaps where somebody besides Russell Wilson touched the ball — he took two sacks and carried once – that somebody was Williams or Perine 29 times.“Sean told us, you never know how you’re going to get used,” Perine said. “It’s just how offenses are going nowadays. Running backs have to be able to adapt and catch the ball out of the ...

The secret ingredient your salads are missing

Published Mon, 16 Dec 2024 15:24:43 GMT

By Melissa Clark, The New York TimesMy mother loved leftover salad. No matter what a long night in the fridge had inflicted upon the lettuce and the cress, she’d pile those saturated greens onto a toasted English muffin and swear it was a better breakfast than butter and jam.It was a predilection I could never get behind. Unless, that is, there were tomatoes involved.Chunks of ripe tomatoes are subtly improved by a short soak in a sweet, vinegary dressing. Time gives the salt a chance to work its magic, coaxing out the fruit’s nectar so it can mingle with the garlic and herbs. Left alone for a little while, a simple tomato salad will quietly transform into a deeply flavored, marinated one.Marinated tomatoes are so good they’re worth making on purpose, so you don’t have to rely on leftovers. And you don’t even need to plan that far ahead. Anywhere from 20 minutes to several hours will do the trick, though the longer they sit, the softer and juicier they become.In this recipe, I use t...
