I have to contend with one of the main points of the story. The Broncos did replace seven starters, but does anyone believe that every one was an upgrade? Some were because of injuries and others because of cap reasons. IMO the Denver D is not as good as last year.
He also didn't point out that going into last year the Chiefs thought it was the players and upgraded at 5 positions. Result was the same and in some areas even worse. It was mostly the scheme. Does that mean we might not still have some duds? Its possible, but now those duds are moving towards the ball carrier and not laterally, lineman are rushing the passer instead of going into coverage, and the 10 yard cushions are gone. Linebacks can now go after the QB without a delayed blitz, and offensive lines cannot simply let our guy's lateral momementum work for them.
Its going to take some time, but this defense will be getting better week after week.

What the Raiders fan has said is true, our customs are different. What Al Davis has said is unimportant, and we do not hear his words.
