One of the surprises from last year was how much the offenses use of GFGH translated to more plays for the defense as well. Bronco really ran a lot of players on and off the field. I don't know if every player that travels gets on the field, but I'm guessing it's a pretty high number that do. The decision may have been a little pragmatic.

Or...it may strictly be "you did the crime, do the time." I doubt any of us will ever know. A player's perspective might leak out...but we all know that's only the view from their side, it's not the whole picture.
