The above link is a video report from www.nflcom about the Denver Broncos and their outlook in 2008.
What claims are being made?
The claims in this video are that the Denver Broncos will be a better team by improving their run game. The reporters, Solomon Wilcots and Rich Eisen, suggest that the lack of a good running game is what has been affecting the Denver Bronco’s lack of success.
Do the claims conflict with your personal observations?
The claims do not conflict with my own personal observations. The Denver Broncos have always been known for running the ball well with anyone. While the Bronco’s have still run the ball better than a lot of teams in the league, their running game has not been up to the Bronco’s expectations.
What background information do you have about the claims?
I am an avid Bronco’s fan and have been so for many years. I follow several Denver Bronco blogs (www.milehighreport.com primarily) daily, and am a youth football coach. I do consider myself somewhat familiar with football.
What is the expertise of the author, if any?
The two authors are very experienced. The NFL Network (the source of the video) has found a niche in only reporting in the NFL. Solomon Wilcots is a former player and Rich Eisen is one of the, if not the only, anchors of the NFL Network.
Is the author biased and untrustworthy, or unbiased and trustworthy?
I think that the main reporter of this video, Solomon Wilcots, is neither of the two above options; I think he is biased but trustworthy. He is reporting not just facts but things that he personally feels. However, he does not report things that are inaccurate or true; he takes what has been proven with facts and offers his interpretation.
