Broncos Pre Season Week 2 (Defense)

The Defensive line was a mixed bag. The run defense looked like it did last season. Proving that if you dont have talented players then no scheme will work. The Pass Rush on the other hand looked remarkable. Miller and DOOM could not be stopped without being held. Even though he didnt get a sack Derek Wolfe looked impressive as well fighting off blocks. The Defensive Tackles need to be upgraded. Justin Bannan was blown off the ball a lot in this game. The Broncos should focus on getting quality DT's next offseason. Makil Jackson looked like he could be a starter down the road if he added 15 pounds.

The Linebacking Corps was decent but they also play a roll in stopping the run which they didn't do well. Mays is a big hitter but he also misses a lot of tackles and that has not changed. He will lay some lumber, but he could also whiff because he is always looking for the big hit. Woodyard played well too, he is a solid tackler who wraps up. Still look for Danny Trevethan to make the team.

The defensive backs looked great. Whenever there is a good pass rush the defensive backs look all that much better. Champ had a sweet pass defense against TO. Tracy Porter didnt play because he was injured so Drayton Florence took his place and played well. David Bruton may have made the team with his play last night. He blocked one punt and got his hand on another. He is a great special teams player who can fill in on D when there are injuries.
