How concerned are you about the defense?

When all is said and done this season, I expect the Broncos to have a bottom 10 ranked offense. 

Only allowing 21 points is a bit misleading. We didn't force them to settle for a single FG attempt and we were saved by multiple Broncos turnovers when they were in scoring position. We easily could have allowed far more than 21 points. No way to sugarcoat it, the D had a pretty poor showing. 

The Broncos were 18th in points scored, 22nd in ypg, 26th in passing yds, and 5th in rushing yards last year and probably would have been worse if Peyton had stayed healthy. Siemian is a push and that OL improvement makes them better. 

Regarding TOs, the defense produced those so you have to give them credit - no butt-fumble fluke TOs going on. Agree 100% that there is plenty of room for improvement but when the team's M.O. is to get turnovers and they produce three of them off of good plays it can't be discounted.

We made a second year 7th round QB from Northwestern look like a legit NFL QB and CJ Anderson look like Adrian Peterson. 

The Broncos lost a lot of pieces over the offseason. They aren't nearly the team they were last year but we sure made them look like it. 

He had a 69 passers-by rating. That is not good.

Their run game made everything happen, the front 7 & secondary needs more time to Gel. Soliai, Butler, & Bradberry will become key pieces as we get midway into the season.

Agree 100%, I was about to write this.  Glad I read the thread first, because you've said it better than I could.

    • Personally I think he's a nightmare to cover I think linebackers generally aren't fast enough to keep up with him in coverage and cornerbacks don't have the strength to tackle him one-on-one in physically bring them down which would normally lead to a broken tackle or a nasty stiff arm or just bully ball play sure you could find a receiver with comparable speed like Cooper but he's faster than Cooper sure you can find a wide receiver that is the same size but he's probably More powerful than them and a better blocker.  The size speed athleticism package that he is in is completely unique it's easier to say I'd rather have just a big blocker because we've never seen this type of profile before I'm a risk taker I think you would be God blessed if this was there at 19 I think if you can get a guy that's a tight end who immediately becomes the fastest guy on your offense and at the same time that third wide receiver that can stretch and burn defenses over the top that's the perfect what the Panthers need type weapon.
    • I think you're under selling Sadiq. They are two different players in terms of how they win. Loveland is 2 inches taller maybe 5-6 pounds heavier. Comparing his speed to sadiq.. well your comparing a 4.7 guy to a 4.3 guy I'm seeing a guy that can take a bubble screen from the tight end position and turn it into a house call. I'm not saying the guy is a certified home run pick but I don't think there's really a president's for a comparison for this kind of athlete. It's easy to say this doesn't look like Warren or Loveland because we haven't seen guys that fit this profile The closest you might be able to get is Vernon Davis.  He's not as sure far as those guys were but at 19 I think almost everybody is going to have some warts and he's a lottery ticket of could be top 10 in the draft player or could fail I am more of a risk taker I think he fits the athletic profile that could be a homerun, like I said he's almost 40 lb bigger than Cooper and like 4-5 in taller than Cooper so and he's faster. So whatever you think Cooper gives you I think he does that and more. If you want to go with one of the office alignment I can understand that as well but for value as a receiving threat I don't think there's a bigger value at number 19.
