Denver Broncos on Defense

Champ Bailey via media.scout.com
Too see things from the Broncos side, be sure to check out Mile High Report. Despite an egregious taste in football teams, they have a lot football sense over there.
While Denver has a sparkling offense, the Bronco defense is mired in mediocrity and doesn't appear to be seriously upgraded this year. Denver will be turning to a new defensive coordinator, Bob Slowik, who is going to a more aggressive style of defense. The defensive line has not brought a lot of pressure in passing situations, with the one exception of Elvis Dumerville who notched 12.5 sacks. This lack of pressure ends up putting serious pressure on a blue chip secondary that includes Champ Bailey and Dre Bly. While Bailey is getting a little long in the tooth and has perhaps lost half a step, there is definitely tread left on the tires of this perennial Pro Bowler. His picks were off last year, but that could well be the lack of pressure.
The Bronco safeties are a little suspect. They picked up big hitting Marlon McCree from the Chargers, while he is a big hitter and took down three picks, he gave up some big plays too. The Broncos lost Pro Bowl safety Lynch in the preseason when it became clear to him that he would no longer start. Manuel is the other starter at safety.
The middle linebackers are anchored by DJ Williams, he has been moved around a lot, he is now back at his preferred Weak side and seems primed to be a force there. Unfortunately he appears to be anchoring a rowboat. The Broncos are trying Boss Bailey who washed out of the Detroit Lions. While the Broncos are hoping the change of scenery and his brother Champ will lead to a resurgence, he has already missed some preseason games with more knee issues. The defense held the Raiders to 14 points, but Oakland did run for 140+ yards and the Raiders passing offense seems very out of synch. I find Oakland's secondary to be good and so I think the Broncos passing game is for real, but Denver's defense is still a big question mark for me. It looks like they can be had.

LT
Wonder if they’ll try covering LT with a LB again when he lines up in the slot.

unnecessary image of the day
You’re going to have to put up with this from me every now and then. As much as I like to talk sports, sometimes people get way too serious about their FANDOM on the blog(s). Don’t forget to have some fun too. Now, if the Chargers could institute this image into their offensive scheme, they would even have more success against the Denver “D”.

Ok. I've got a few bones to pick with you. :)
First off, Bronco fans RULE!
Secondly, show me the proof that Champ Bailey has lost even a half step.
Thirdly, the Broncos D gave up one big run play for 42 yards. You take that play away from the Raiders and the Broncos D gave up a solid 3.6 yards per carry. That one big play happened late in the game when the Broncos were up 34-7…I’ll give up a big play that makes our D appear less capable than it was if it means our guys are protecting a huge lead and don’t want to get any unnecessary injuries.
Lastly, what are the Chargers going to do about Cutler? The Raiders were supposed to have one of the top secondary’s in the league as do the Chargers…we didn’t have BMarsh and Cutler still dominated. So tell me, if the Chargers couldn’t stop Jake “lol” Delhomne, how in God’s green Earth will they stop Cutler & co.? :)
I can’t wait until Sunday man! btw, you’re doing an awesome job with this site man! Remember the “Paper Tiger” post….that Carolina game pointed out exactly why I believe the Chargers to be a paper tiger. All that talent, but no heart…no drive to win…no maturity.

Ok Here are my bones.
1. You can’t compare the Raiders and Chargers secondaries. Their two top interception leaders from last season dont even add up to what Cromartie had himself. They’ve had some success on defense but they went 4-12 last season. You can’t judge your offense from playing the Raiders. Sorry.
2. What are we going to do about Cutler?? The guy has ONE GOOD GAME agains’t one of the bottom 3 WORST TEAMS IN FOOTBALL and all of a sudden he’s a powerhouse QB?? You’re not going to like this but it’s true, a healthy Jake Delhomme is a better QB than Cutler is at this point in his career. 20 TDs and 14 INTs last season are ok, and he’s probably going to be really good, but he’s not yet.
3. What are the Broncos going to do about LT?? They ranked 30th out of 32 teams last season in Run Defense!!! Do they have any serious run stopping upgrades???
Face it…The Chargers are proven on both sides of the ball and the Broncos are proven on niether side. Still a huge edge to the Chargers, which is reduced by it being at MHS. (WTF is an Invesco?) Chargers win 24-14

Yes. That is exactly the sentiment I want all Chargers to feel.
I want the players, the coaches, the fans, the media, ect. The Panthers were 7-9 last year, since we are comparing 2007 to 2008. Charger wake up call in T-minus 4 days. Broncos 31, Chargers 23

Jake Delhome didn't play last year.
And they significantly upgraded through free agents and the draft, something the Broncos didn’t do on Defense.

Via Obviousman @ boltz4eva
1) the panthers starting quarterbacks last year were david carr and vinny testaverde, not jake delhomme.
2) they relied entirely on deangelo williams last year, with no “change of pace” back.
3) their offensive line was horrible last year. they’re completely revamped it through the draft and free agent signings.
this is not the same panthers as last year. if anything, this is closer to the panthers team that went to the super bowl. solid O-line, good running backs, very good QB

1.) Jay Cutler has undiagnosed Diabetes, lost over 30 lbs by the second game in SD, had no strength.
2.) We had one healthy back, Selvin Young, now have Young and Hall, plus Pittman and Hillis
3.) We lost Nalen and Hamilton last year and Lepis was about to retire, now have two new OT, new RG, and good back-up center, and Hamilton is back
This is not the same Broncos team form last year, this is closer to the Broncos Super Bowl teams, solid O-line, great weapons, and good RB, and a very good QB.

Well as everyone knows it's a new year
Granted the Chargers are a very good team, but, ignoring the fact that Cutler is still growing and has another year of expereince, a year of working with his core guys, and is physically as healthy as he has been since entering the league would make me a little worried if I was a SD fan, and I am sure he hasn’t forgotten about Phylis clown act last year, so you know he will have something special up his sleeve. The offensive line is improved, and all the weapons are healthy and ready to role.
Chargers are going down like flies, and the fact is that they have been notoriously slow starters, LT is a beast and still the best RB in the league, but your O-line is banged up already and that would worry me if I was a SD fan.
In addition, this will be a home opener for Denver, so the crowd will be amped and give us a boost.
It will be a close game, that obviously will come down to if Denver can contain LT, if LT gets held to under 4.5 yds per rush attempt, Denver wins, if not, then will likely be a San Diego win.
But I seriously hope that San Diego doesn’t take Denver seriously, then it will be a long and painful afternoon for the Chargers.

I had to reply to this before even reading the rest of the threads…
1. We proved to ourselves that we could score, and own a red zone for a change. They certainly do not provide the match-ups SD does… but we couldn’t do that last year!
2. I hear what you are trying to say about Cutler… but no one else is buying it, and of all your points… this one is the weakest, no offense. Cutler had an acceptable year last year for ANY second year QB, especially given the system and health challenges he dealt with. All the Raider game did was prove to the majority of those watching that yeah…. Diabetes really did have a huge impact last year, and he isn’t looking back.
3. The single biggest upgrade we have that No ONE can deny is health. We were one of the most injured teams in the league last year. For the next game at least, this is a huge upgrade. We also have gone back to a system that the players are comfortable with, and yes, there are some upgrades to the personnel as well. We have dealt with LT in the past, and there is a plan… we play the game to see if it is a good one = )
Finally, SD OWNED us last year… can’t say it enough. If we have such an unproven QB, no answer for LT and the rest of your ground package, why does you predicted score nearly halve your average against us last year, and more than double ours? Just the home field advantage? The truth is, you see some of the same things we, and everyone else in the league are seeing. I can’t guarantee anything anymore than you can… but we both need this game badly…. should be fun.
(PS… will say this though…. big picture; if its even a close game, Denver is back in the hunt in the AFC West… which has to be un-nerving for the historically aware SD fan. If we win by any margin… I leave that to you to imagine = )
I'm tired of hearing about money, money, money, money, money. I just want to play the game, drink Pepsi, wear Reebok.

Ha
I’m going to take a pass on the first one.
On Champ I base that mostly on the fact that he is 30, people just slow down. But also check how his stats fell off last year; Picks went from 10 down to 3. PD’s went from 21 down to 14. Yards returned after picks went from 162 to 3, even if you make that yards/pick it goes from 16.2 to 1.
Thirdly, the Broncos D gave up one big run play for 42 yards
Well apart from that Mrs. Lincoln, how was the play? Seriously, that’s a reasonable point, but by the same token if you exclude the Panthers last drive, the Chargers won the game. Considering the Raiders had no passing attack without Walker and McFadden went down, the 3.6 doesn’t look all that great to me.
All that talent, but no heart…no drive to win…no maturity.
Come now, Merriman and Rivers have been going out with their limbs being held precariously by frayed tendons from wounds received on the gridiron, just look. Brandon Marshall on the other hand got taken down by a McDonald’s happy meal bag.
Oh no don’t look now!

lol
Champ Bailey had 3 INT in 2004…did he lose a step back then? Oh wait, he rebounded with 8 INT in 2005 and 10 in 2006. Then the defense fell apart under a failed scheme and he gets 3 INT. That to me is not a representation of a lost step.
btw, most of the Raiders yards came when the score was 27-0, 27-7, 34-7, 41-7, and 41-14. The Raiders were averaging about 3.0 after the score was increased to 27-0. I know, this because I was there and sat at my seat for the entire game. The Chargers won until the :02 in the 4th, the Broncos won all the way into Tuesday! So you can take that Yards per carry thing and use it to show why the Chargers will win all you want. :)
I’ll admit that on my last point I was highly bias and my judgement clouded by my hatred for the Chargers…and Phyllis Rivers in particular. :P I still think they lack the maturity to win a Super Bowl.

On Champ
2003/2004 are reasonable arguments, the reality is I would say even LT has perhaps lost half a step since coming into the league. Take a look at Champ’s YPA, it ballooned to 7.8 last year, good for 56th in the league.
The litmus test on your run defense will come this Sunday, I’m happy to wait for some more facts on that argument (hopefully I’ll be happy on Monday too).
On Rivers, I understand why you folks can’t let that go, but the word is that there is a lot of jawboning on both sides of the ball. These teams really don’t like each other.

Champ Bailey
The reason Champs INT went from 10 to 3 is because of the defense in front of him. Also no one throws the ball his way. How is he going to get any INT if they are throwing the ball to the other side of the field. None of your points about our D can be backed up by FACTS.

I'll gladly compare Fargas to LT...
You’ll notice on the link below that the Raiders were the 6th best rushing team in 2007, averaging 130.4 ypg, while the Chargers were the 7th best rushing team, averaging 127.4 ypg. And the Raiders have improved with the addition of McFadden and a health Michael Bush. While the Chargers have lost Lorenzo Neil and Michael Turner (who has looked much better than LT so far this season). So…I guess you’re right. It really isn’t a good comparison.

From Wikipedia:
An ad hominem argument, also known as argumentum ad hominem (Latin: “argument to the man”, “argument against the man”) consists of replying to an argument or factual claim by attacking or appealing to a characteristic or belief of the person making the argument or claim, rather than by addressing the substance of the argument or producing evidence against the claim. The process of proving or disproving the claim is thereby subverted, and the argumentum ad hominem works to change the subject.
It is most commonly used to refer specifically to the ad hominem as abusive, sexist, racist, or argumentum ad personam, which consists of criticizing or attacking the person who proposed the argument (personal attack) in an attempt to discredit the argument. It is also used when an opponent is unable to find fault with an argument, yet for various reasons, the opponent disagrees with it.
Ad hominem arguments are always invalid in syllogistic logic, since the truth value of premises is taken as given, and the validity of a logical inference is independent of the person making the inference.

Time for him to go up against another highly overrated corner in Jammer.
While BMarsh punks Cromartie again. :)

Marshall quits beating the hell out of his girlfriends or else you aren’t going to have him around to drool over.

go find a beer bong party over on college avenue -- you might find
his crazy ass ex-girlfriend there getting beat up by her next boyfriend.

Raiders, good pass defense
You are crazy man. DeAngelo Hall is one of the easiest corners to beat in the NFL. Your rookie receiver beat him silly on a regular basis. Did you see Asomugha getting burnt. No. That’s because evenly the dimwitted Broncos coaching staff can figure out that you just target Hall over and over and over. You’d be incompetent not to use that strategy. Trying do that against Jammer or Cromartie and it’ll pick 6 baby.
With all due respect, you are not allowed to find our division rivals sexy.

I was only regurgitating what the media monkeys were saying all last week...
now they are saying all this week about your secondary. I say let ‘em, build the chargers ego’s to mammoth proportions. We’re gonna bust you in the mouth on Sunday.

Great Discussion
You guys are fun! But what does the loss of Merriman do to your defense/team? He was not only your most dominant defensive player, but also an emotional leader. How can you replace that, especially in a close game?

Well
Last time he missed games.
We went 4-0. It’s not a big concern. We’re too talented to fall apart when one player goes down. Unless that player is Jamal Williams. But Tom Nalen isn’t playing so we don’t have to worry about someone taking him out.

All I hear is "last time" this, "Last year" that...bleh!
The Denver Broncos are concerned about what’s coming next. Who do we gotta prove ourselves to now? Your guys are walking into a Lion’s den and the cage has been torn down. Jay Cutler has twice the arm and brain that Rivers ever wished he had. Rivers would be Alex Smith on a different team. YOU ARE GOING DDDDDDDOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWWWNNNNNNNNNN BOYS!

You Donkey Fans are incredible
All you do is spew meaningless nonsense about how great totally unproven players are. Despite all evidence to the contrary. Rivers is 25-7 as a starter with playoff wins and a pro-bowl appearance, not to mention the NFL record for most wins by a rookie QB (14). What does Culter have? An excuse?
The entire city of Denver will be crying sunday afternoon, just like your players who cried and cried when we beat you. Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa Rivers got excited when we lost! Waaaaaaaaaaaaa Waaaaaaaaa.

All I hear is
The Broncos haven’t done shit. So your only hope is to hope beyond hope that your crappy team will get it together to the point that you will use a defeat over the Raiders to stake your claim on the best in the West. That you bad run D won’t get burned because it’s not 2007. That your aging pass D that contains the toastable Dre Bly and the Chargers washout McCree will dominate because the calender turned the page. That tiny little no talent RBs will suddenly find holes in our D because the Earth made a rotation around the sun. I hope Denver has good psychiatrists cuz all y’all are nuts!

We're staking our claim on the "best in the West"...

I don't want to be a dick...
but
Your guys are walking into a Lion’s den and the cage has been torn down.
has got to be the single funniest comment in this thread. It sounds like something Ricky Bobby would say in Taladega Nights. It doesn’t even make sense… what lion builds a cage in his den?
Being a fan requires faith in your team, but you guys are batshit-scientology insane if you think you are coming away with a win. The reason we talk about the past is because it is the most effective indicator of the future. So, lets say that we beat your teams ass last year, and we(and you) have the same elements on the field as last year… A betting man would put his money in logic and say that we will beat your ass again this year.
But you’re right, only the exclusive broncos are “concerned about what’s coming next.” The altitude makes you smarter.
“Any given sunday” is your only hope.

Finally a perceptive Charger fan! :-D
There may be hope for you guys yet! There was something else too, but you’d have to be a Bronco fan to notice it. 44-7 in Detroit last year hurt…

"The reason we talk about the past is because it is the most effective indicator of the future"...
If that was true you’d expect teams to frequently repeat as SB champions when in fact it’s happened only a handfull of times.
In fact, there are on average 7 playoff teams each year that were not in the playoffs the year before.
Past performance does not guarantee future performance.

Im sorry but
7 teams on average were NOTin the playoffs the year before…im gunna call bulshit and ask for the link. because that is Fing bullshit.
Past performance is the ONLY and BEST indicator of future performance. Why do you think stats exist? They DO mean something. I’ll admit they mean less in football than they do in baseball but there is a reason why people with good stats make more than people with bad stats…
Look i know you kids are SUPER STOKED about beating the raiders. Don’t bring that shit against SD, you kids are gunna look silly. PLEASE calm down and check yourself,
least you wreck yourself.

What youre saying is...
In fact, there are on average 7 playoff teams each year that were not in the playoffs the year before.
So only one team, out of eight, repeats 2 years in a row…
Just giving the opportunity to retract that.
While they don’t GUARANTEE success, STATS (aka past performance) are “the most effective indicator of future performance.” And im sorry, you don’t match up. best of luck for the wildcard donkeys.

Let me help you...
8 divisions + 4 Wild Card spots=12 playoff teams.
I’m saying that 5 teams, on average, make back to back playoff appearances each year.
You Chargers fans are absolutely adorable!

…and if “past performance is the ONLY and BEST indicator of future performance” then I’d be concerned if I were a Chargers fanatic. The Broncos lead the all-time series with the Chargers 52-43-1, and enjoy a 34-13-1 record in Denver (plagiarized from Guru). 34-13-1? Ouch!!!

Attention MHR peeps:
SDSUAZTEC4’s personal attacks could turn ugly and I suggest all Bronco fans either ignore him while posting or just go back to MHR. Certain Charger fans are unwilling to debate any issue and are not as open as the Raider fans were last week to talking friendly smack.
I don’t know about you, but I don’t appreciate being called names and that crap because some dude can’t debate without degrading others. In real life, I’d take violent offense to that kind of disrespect so whats the point. It’s not worth it to me.
Again, I am not trying to say you can’t post here if your a Bronco fan but just don’t stoop to his level and turn things personal. It’s the best he has, so just remember to show some class. At least more than I did anyway. lol
To the rest of the Charger fans, I can’t wish you good luck but I will wish you good health! Here’s to neither team suffering any major injuries!(Other than Phyllis Rivers’ broken face!!!!!) :P
PS Good luck DaBolts…just remember the first year is the most brutally hard one! I wish you the best of luck and contact me if you ever need anything from. You’re a first class dude and I did send this blog out to all my family(well, only the 90% who are Charger fans).

Says the guy from Denver...
Look i know Aztec from GLB and he is nothing but class and well informed knowledge. You’re the idiot coming to an opponent’s blog, spewing some ridiculous opinion that has no basis in logic…
Honestly, if we win this weekend… can we never see/hear from you guys again? Please??!!!
I hope you can bring more than "We try harder! and have more heart and spirit than all the rest!!!" This is pro football. Talent and play calling rule the sport. You don’t match up well with us
