  What problem is worse for the Broncos: their offensive line or their defensive line? 
  Kiz: Sure, debating the merits of a quarterback gets all the clicks. But the truth is, Denver is getting its tail kicked in the trenches. It seems as if coach Gary Kubiak has lost faith in his offensive lineman to open holes for the running game. And the injury to defensive end Derek Wolfe could make an already leaky defense get lost in a flood of even bigger trouble. You have any solutions, my friend?
