Warren's value to the Broncos goes significantly beyond his statistics. He started all 16 games in 2005, and registered a modest 42 tackles and three sacks. But the five-year veteran anchored the interior of a defense which statistically ranked No. 2 in the league against the run, and occupied blockers so that the linebackers could flow to the ball.

So they admit he's no pass rusher... and then cite a stat that leaves out the fact that Denver faced, by far, the fewest rushing attempts of any team in the league last year. In terms of yards per carry, their rush defense was ranked right in the middle of the pack. Add another 50-100 rush attempts at 4 yards a carry and that #2 ranking in total yards goes down faster than Shanratty on a wheel of cheese.
At least Warren can keep his nickname, though. BIG MONEY!
