    Amid the Denver Broncos' 3-0 start, one disquieting element has been the team's difficulties in short-yardage and goal-line situations.Fullback Peyton Hillis, who resumed practicing Thursday after sitting out the day before because of a blow to the head, said the short-yardage issues that cropped up during last week's 23-3 win at Oakland can be addressed with better preparation and execution. Coach Josh McDaniels agreed, saying he had no plans to make changes in personnel or play calls. "We still have a lot of confidence in Peyton Hillis," McDaniels said. "We're going to have a lot of confidence in Peyton Hillis. But all of our backs take reps on goal-line. That's not uncommon."

    Actually it's "Why did we do this?" They are lead blocking with a 350# tackle, and putting in a back that hasn't taken a snap, instead of running Buckhalter or Moreno.
