How many members of the Denver OL during Davis' career can you name?

Tom Nalen? It's a fair point you're making, but in spite of the fact that there were very few notable individuals on the line, you can't deny that they were a superb ensemble run-blocking unit.

Also note that Denver's O-line traditionally never speaks to the media, which serves to keep their profile low.

It's irrelevant, most people know only a handful of lineman throughout the league. The zone blocking scheme is what they did and why they were so effective.

Somewhat of a digression, but with the "cheap" chop blocking the broncos employed, (and led to so many successful RB production!) how come NO OTHER TEAM copied this??? all pro sports have the remarkable trait of copy cat-ing winning strategies, so this perplexes me.

Atlanta did it, too. The problem is that you have to have the right type of QB to do it.
