YOUR DENVER BRONCOS ARE NOW A TOP 5 DEFENSE - Edit: dropped to #6 after Bears played their SNF game - Page 2 - The Orange Mane

bowtown · 11-11-2012, 08:35 PM

JDR is great and I hope he stays, but make no mistake, Fox knows defense. This is his creation he's been building and if JDR leaves, he'll find another guy who can work with it.

RedskinBronco · 11-11-2012, 09:14 PM

I had to hit the road so I missed the 2nd half, but I was listening on the panthers radio network and those guys were raving all 2nd half about the Broncos defense and the speed, a lot of "boy, these guys are fast" type comments.

It was also a Von Miller love fest.

I can't comment for the 2nd half, it sounded sloppy from an offensive perspective so this win is probably less impressive than the bengals W but it seems like the defense keeps getting better and better.

Take the W and move on, but it sounded like this wasn't as impressive a win. Probably the key takeaway is a good defense, but make no mistake this is the panthers who tend to self implode. Just keep building and eliminate the sloppy play...

Is there a team with a better pass rush than denver?

(Can't believe I just typed that after watching this team for the past 10 years.)

Bronco Yoda · 11-11-2012, 09:42 PM

I'm going to be really mad if the Chargers make a play for JDR for HC next year.

Maybe they will look up the coast and see Allen not doing so well and pass.

Gutless Drunk · 11-11-2012, 09:51 PM

"I'll tell you who should get some Assistant Coach of the Year recognition: Denver defensive coordinator Jack Del Rio. His defense hasn't allowed more than 14 points in two of the past three games, sacked Cam Newton a season-high seven times and Cam's sacks and held the Panthers to eight three-and-outs. Nice."

Nope, not from what I see around the league.

The Broncos are an elite team when they get a lead and know they can get aggressive and let their great pass rushers loose.

Very tough team to beat when playing with the lead.

Chargers will go after Andy Reid this offseason. Book it.

Lestat · 11-11-2012, 11:29 PM

i can't wait to see this defense once DJ gets back on the field. Woodyard has been playing lights out but man, DJ will make a huge impact for us at the LB position.

HOW?

The way our LBs have been playing who is he going to replace? Who are you going to take off the field to sub him in for?
Miller? Not happening..
Woodyard? Ditto
Brooking? no way..

Keep in mind that the unit has been very successful and has developed communication and unity - and DJ has been no part of that. I think that he's going to be a street veteran in the off season at the very best.

Seems to me I heard that when he comes back he is taking a hit in his paycheck, if they really thought he had something to offer other than depth they would not have ask him to re-do his contract for less money..

Quote:

CHARLOTTE N.C. — D.J. Williams will officially return Monday to the Broncos after the two sides recently agreed to a restructuring of his contract.

Williams, who had been a starting linebacker since the Broncos selected him with their first-round draft pick in 2004, had already lost nearly $3 million in salary this year as part of his penalty for serving two suspensions that prevented him from playing in the team's first nine games this year.

Given the considerable time he has missed — Broncos coach John Fox decided not to have him participate in training camp or preseason games so he could instead give reps and playing time to others — Williams is expected to use the first week or two getting back in playing shape.

If Denver had them at Mile High they would be favored over all three of them, even Houston.

Yeah, I agree. It will take him two weeks or so to get in game shape but having him in the rotation will mean less playing time for Brookings and more depth in case of injury. win win

i4jelway7 · 11-12-2012, 02:17 AM

DJ is a HUGE upgrade over Brooking... back to the bench for Brooking

kent156 · 11-12-2012, 03:52 AM

tightends are still a problem maybe DJ can solve that

RedskinBronco · 11-12-2012, 05:36 AM

Just get to 12-4. I am looking at vs. TB or @Bal as one of the the losses.

Garcia Bronco · 11-12-2012, 06:40 AM

We're the number 6 defense.

Except WW is a better WLB.

For those concerned about JDR leaving after this season, there is an easy remedy for that: a long playoff run. Teams filling vacancies typically don't have the patience to wait out the assistants on teams that make deep playoff runs.

Yep looks like the Bears playing in the rain on a bad field last night pushed ahead of the broncos dropping us to #6.

We are still #3 on offense

socalorado · 11-12-2012, 07:05 AM

DEN needs to throw some coin at JDR and they need to do it now.
The whole merry go round of D-coordinators needs to finally stop.
Getting DJ back is a non issue. He will ride the bench.
He cant play MLB to save his life, and WW has taken his position.
Wouldnt suprise me if the same happens with Tony Carter, and Porter
sits with DJ.
Hey, quality depth is always a good thing.

Don't kid yourself JDR will find a way to use DJ's talent. He will play plenty
