The Texans had two big plays from blown coverages. Shit happens. We just don't have an answer for New England's two TE package.

Woodyard is in there on 3rd down already. Him and DJ have been our nickle LB's for a few years now. I'm glad we signed Brooking, he is a good player but I don't think he is any better than Mays in coverage. I think our defense would have played just as well against Oakland if Mays was in there instead of Brooking.

The 96% was not an exaggeration. Mays has been in on defense for 96% of the plays he has been available for. Champ? 95%. Von? 89%.

Yep. When your D allows as many 3rd down conversions as Denver's is this year you aren't going to beat any good teams. Period.

Rep for honesty. Yeah, it's kind of wierd. I figured they'd have a pretty nasty D on 3rd downs with those pass rushers, but it hasn't quite worked out that way.

Remember Woodyard's one handed pick against Houston? That happened on 3rd down. I think both of Woodyard's sacks have come on 3rd and 4th down as well.

Can't fix it if you don't acknowledge it.Coaches and players know it. There were plenty of things for Broncos coach John Fox to dislike as he sat in his office and went through the film of Sunday's 31-21 loss to New England. But there were four defensive plays that stuck out more than most. "You know, third-and-10 plus, there were five situations, and they converted four of them," Fox said Monday afternoon. Indeed, the Patriots turned four third-and-very-longs into four long gains a total of 83 yards on four snaps. There were two 25-yard passes, a 19-yard completion, and, perhaps worst of all, a 19-yard run right through the middle of the Broncos' defense. "At the end of the day, our third downs have a been a little bit of a bugaboo throughout this portion of the season," Denver Broncos Fox said. "Probably the most disheartening thing is they weren't all third-and-ones." The Broncos allowed the Patriots to convert 11-of-17 third downs. Denver's opponents through five games are converting 47 percent of their third downs. "It was very evident they were playing keep away from our offense, and our inability to get stops on third down, along with some of our first-and-10 run defense, allowed them to do that," Fox said. "Those conversions on third down are obviously an area we have to improve at."

Funny how you just named 3 huge plays that the part time defender has had, and the only big play I can think of for the guy that doesn't come off the field was a free 15 yards the other way.

That's brutal. Your little buddy will be along to spin that they are stopping opponents on 53 percent of 3rd downs and everything is just hunkydooree

He is on the field every play because we honestly don't have anybody better. Brooking is too old to be playing a bunch of snaps. Brooking's value to this team is that he is capable of playing both Will and Mike. He is the only reserve player we have who can somewhat hold is own when called upon.
