The #2 player on the list is the Denver Broncos running back number 27, Knowshon Moreno. While Moreno may not be a popular name, he is definitely important to the Denver Broncos. As a runner, Moreno has rushed for over 1,000 yards, averaging 4.3 per carry. Moreno has also been able to find the end zone this year,scoring 10 touchdowns.
Moreno is very important in many ways. For one, he gives the Broncos a rushing game. The Broncos are a very pass heavy team, in which they are the best at what they do. If Moreno and the Broncos offensive line can provide positive yards by rushing, this will put alot of pressure on the Seattle Seahawks defense. The Seahawks already have to worry about the passing game of Peyton Manning and the receiving gang. Moreno can make it even harder.
Another thing that makes Moreno effective is his pass blocking! Running backs are sometimes considered the an offensive line's last line of defense, blocking anyone that gets close to the quarterback. Moreno has already recieved public praise from his head coach about his pass blocking. Look for Moreno to really be keen on this. Since the Broncos pass alot, the Seahawks will give Manning many different looks and blitzes. Moreno will sure to be in place to protect Manning.
If Moreno can provide good rushing production and solid pass blocking, he will be very effective in the Superbowl.
