Denver Post Broncos writer Parker Gabriel posts his Broncos Mailbag periodically during the offseason. Click here to submit a question.Hi Parker, I have three observations and three questions.1. Denver is not running the ball enough with Javonte Williams and Perine, only 34 carries through 2 games. I realize they want to bring Javonte along slowly but shouldn’t they lean more on Perine and Jaleel McLaughlin?2. The Defense has looked terrible and I know it’s killing Broncos fans that they’re being led by Vance Joseph. Is Joseph in over his head and being exposed? Or is he doing the best he can under the circumstances?3. The lone bright spot was Marvin Mims! Will his emergence along with Jerry Jeudy being back open things up for the offense?Thanks.— Brandon Brown, Rogers, Minn.Hey Brandon, thanks for getting us going this week and, yeah, you covered some ground.Let’s do this quick-hitter style.1.
