Has Talib's personality taken over the Denver D?

We all know Talib is a cheap shot artist, but I wonder if he has taken over the Defense in a bad way. We all know Talib has a bad taste in his mouth for the Carolina Panthers,

Since the Broncos were reported shopping him, I wonder if Elway sees his defense going down the wrong path with Talib on the team and not doing things the right way like Von Miller.

All the ones making the helmet to helmet plays were Talib's "boys"

The real question: How many of you wish we had Smitty and Hardy back on the team for last nights game? We cut the guys who play with a chip on their shoulder and it has impacted the edge the whole team has played with in the past. Josh Norman was the last guy to have that chippiness to him. Until someone gets fired up on defense the way the Broncos are able to, I will reserve judgment as to if it is wrong of the Broncos to play like they have something to prove.

Note: My post is exempting the plays involving dirty hits. On clean plays, they play with an edge and you can't ignore the fact it helps them immensely.

They have. I don't remember Von or even Ware playing this way. They will continue to play that way until the league starts fining and suspending. I really don't see it changing until Elway is tired of it and starts getting guys out of there. But their style of play takes away from all that they do great. I will say, that o-line and even WRs are gonna have to start playing with a little chip. I saw Ward get up in Cam's face last night and Cam came right back at him. We know Cam will go for his, but they need that same chip.

Miller and Ware didn't do anything dirty last night.

I think coach Kubiak is reflected well in their defensive intentions. Talib just fits the scheme.

Valid, but Talib was signed a year before Kubiak.

The penchant for dirty play actually goes higher than the head coach.

Elway was part of some teams that played dirty too.

Copying my reply to yet another thread along these lines:

And other teams will take note and do the same thing.

Look, the Carolina Panthers, with their NFL shield at midfield rather than a team logo; with their long-standing, but enough is e-fugging-nough gratitude and benevolence to the league; with their goody-two-shoes approach and team culture as established by their owner, is a milquetoast, pushover football team. 

They do not have a nasty streak and the first inkling that a player on the team can be a game-influencing bad-ass, that player will be gone in short order. 

They do not have a coach who will hammer the officials for not doing their job. They have a coach who stand by and stoically witness his QB getting the poo knocked out of him, watch other players get called for BS penalties... and Greg Olsen has to go argue his own case to the refs... thanks for having my back, coach.

So, while the adults on the street will play, "My kid can beat up your kid," the Carolina Panthers can either stand up and learn how to fight or continue to be a punching bag. And being a punching bag following a 15-1 season when everyone is already coming for you doesn't sound like a very good idea.

Did the whole team play dirty before Kubiak?  Was it when Elway came on board that they started?  I don't recall our teams playing very dirty under Fox, so I'm sure he wasn't part of it.

Yep. 

Before the Patriots and the Saints, the entire chop block rule was the result of the Denver Broncos defensive line play during their Super Bowl years.

      That's it. How do you feel about this draft class.

      By Bear Hands · Posted

      Overall, fine.  Wish we landed a guy to pair with Lloyd but I presume this means they're giving Trevin one final year to put it together (72nd overall 2 years back).  Flashed potential year 1, had a dud last year.   R1: Freeling LT - Great value and a need; landed our new long term LT that could end up starting off the bat.  Icky had a terrible injury and is not playing in his contract year.  Walker is what he is on a 1-year rental, who even knows how he fits. You get premier OTs early if you can find em' and he has what you want.  I thought he could have gone as high as 6/CLE pre-draft, so am a big fan of the selection.  Looking at this class, he's one of the guys at the top that is like "okay that's the LT".  Others have this right/left or G/T type discussion about them.  Freeling is an LT.   R2: Hunter NT - We didn't really have anyone replacing A'Shawn's snaps in our rotation.  Wharton & Brown aren't 3 downers so adding Hunter to the mix fills a big void. I dug deep into S and LB this draft so was a bit to zeroed in - In recognize the value and impact add in the trenches. R3: Brazzell WR - Intriguing.  Given our history, I don't really want to place any expectations here, but a different style weapon for Bryce. I pretty much expect a WR drafted yearly with this regime. Other notables.. Hecht C - These are the type of rounds where starting centers have been found.  We got a starter for this year, but Hecht seems pretty capable and I like it for a long term find.  SOLID AF.  Wheatley S - A pretty well regarded safety prospect.  And we see it every year (like this one) safeties get hyped, people think they may go sooner than expected, and the league reminds them how it rolls.  Plenty of nice safeties have been found in the 4th-6th in recent years.  Big fan of Wheatley. Can't say I know enough about Lee or the others.

      Round 7: The Carolina Panthers select LB Jackson Kuwatch (Miami of Ohio)

      I'm excited. I love situations like this when you could potentially find a diamond in the rough on the cheap. And you know guys like this are gonna put in the work and desire way more than others to be great.
