1st - they had good linebackers and then switched to a LB dominated system. smart
1(a) - We had shitty linebackers and switch to a LB dominated system. ugh 2nd - they have decent overall talent to begin with 3rd - they hire Nolan to run the defense ... Nolan > Pendergast

That's what happens when you actually have a DE that can transition to a 3-4 OLB. Hali is playing ehhh right now....but he's no Dumervil. Plus they hired a defensive coordinator who knew what the **** he was doing.

I'm not at all sold on Pendergast. If our defense doesn't significantly rise as the season goes on, I really hope we get someone else to run the D in the offseason. I'd be on the Wade Phillips bandwagon, as he was the guy who went to San Diego and helped turn that D around overnight earlier this decade, and they basically did it at that time too by signing cheap free agents and getting other guys to play up to their abilities... |

They had about twice as much talent on defense

The have very good leadership with Bailey and Dawkins. I think Dawkins has made a huge impact for them.

I also have a feeling that our new staff had no faith at all that Herm could coach up his players, so they felt they needed to really look and see what they had in person.

I think what makes it disgusting is that they essentially did many of the same things we did last offseason, it just appears they did them better-at least in the short term.
They are using the same "right 53 players" we are, only they have gotten results. Trade their Franchise QB, alienate their best playmaker (Marshall), and sign a bunch of over-the-hill vets. Difference is their over-the-hill vets are actually contributing while ours are sucking. |

8 of the 11 starters on defense in 2009... were not starters on defense with Denver in 2008.
