What makes the Broncos "rise" most disgusting...
...is that they've seemingly fixed a god awful defense (at least thus far) in one offseason. It's taken Kansas City 1..2......4....7....(shit, I can't count that high...) number of offseasons to still field what some might say is slightly better than shit on their best days.
That Denver defense was absolutely putrid last season and now they're "top o' the world". Meanwhile, we've had an inept driver for the past umpteenth numbers of seasons who couldn't get the car out of neutral and when he did....he backed up into the car behind him. Piss on Carl. Piss on Gunther. Piss on the defense. I got enough piss for everyone involved. |

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... |

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

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

Many offensive minded HC's don't know enough about defense to realize his defensive coaches suck.
