Defense

[Irvin88_4life]

Watching these past few superbowls and still nobody sees that you win championships with an elite defense.

I'm all in on getting this defense corrected and a top 5 elite unit.

A 39 year old QB had 140 yards 0 TDs and an interception and won because of that defense he has.


Let's reach for a rookie QB though

 

[Clove]

Yup, we got rid of Ware. Remember?

So rooke qb's = reach. rookie defensive players = not a reach. Gotcha.

Two honest questions:

1. If we start this off season, how many years will it realistically take us to build an "elite" defense capable of winning a Super Bowl like Denver's?

2. How many years will Romo have left as a starting QB by the time the defense reaches "elite" status?

My opinion right now is that it will take longer to build an elite "Denver-like" defense than Romo has years left in his career. I am a big fan of Romo BTW.

We'll the OP has one...

Draft a freaking QB...

 

[superonyx]

Come on guys didn't you know that you can just go get an elite defense and win a superbowl?
The OP says its a top secret that no one has yet to figure out.

I guess all we need to do is go out and draft a pick in the first round and then its done.
Lets ignore the free agents like D Ware and Talib that helped Denver.

Ok, I read wrong. Sorry. Peace.

I think it's also interesting that the Broncos very much relied on FAs and players not drafted by the Broncos to play key roles:

• Manning (QB)
• Ware (OLB)
• Ward (Safety)
• Talib (CB)
• Sanders (WR)
• Daniels (TE)
• Evan Mathis (G)
• Vasquez (G)

Marinelli will not improve this Defense a lot,he is actually hampering our D by playing substandard players in key roles.

 

[8FOR!3]

Denver also has a 25 year old 2nd round pick waiting for Peyton to retire.

 

[DogFace]

Yup, we got rid of Ware. Remember?

You're so consistent.

 

[tyke1doe]

Defenses win championships.
Franchise quarterbacks get you to multiple Super Bowls, though.

Marinelli put a top 10 defense out on the field with a lot of substandard players. Give him more players and he can easily take that to top 5.

Denver elite I don't know, however if this team resigns Hardy, drafts Jack and Rankins and signs Weddle they are pretty good group.

And you forgot to mention the other team whos defense is better than the broncos defense lost.

 

[Craig]

You know what ive learned from my history of watching super bowl winning teams? Make a plan and stick to it. Dont try to create last year's champ every offseason.

that D was partly due to our ball offense which forced teams to take risks and thats the reason why we had all those TOs.without Romo we revert back to the dregs of the league.His failure to improve Dt play is unforgivable,i wish he would just retire.
