Ya, but del Rio also had Rucker,Buckner,Jenkins,Peppers, Dan Morgan, Witherspoon and Minter.

Trgovac had the same group and was only able the be a shadow of the 2002 defense, when it should have gotten better every year after the year with Del Rio as the players played together more

You left out Mark Fields, probably the best of the linebackers at least from a pass rushing perspective.

But, if you look at Jacksonville's numbers when Del Rio got there, they were bottom half of the league in pass rushing. It took a couple of years, but by 2005 they were one of the best teams in the NFL at pressuring the qb. There is definitely some evidence that Del Rio will make them a more aggressive defense in the passing game.

Denver's D-line is just as good, if not better than ours was back then. That D is already nasty as Hell. It is a shame that they are losing their coordinator. Not certain that Del Rio can squeeze much more out of them.

The Denver Broncos d-line is not as good Peppers/Jenkins/Buckner/Rucker

A clue into what our defense will become in time with Rivera.

      I’m expecting a breakout season from Ja'tavion Sanders

      By Car123 · Posted

      Not many are talking about this player. He played well as a rookie last year. If he refines his blocking, continues studying film, and keeps working hard, I can see him being the next Greg Olsen. I’m expecting 55 catches, 700 yards, 4 TDs this season.

      How would you feel if Bryce did this in 2025

      By Tr3ach · Posted

      I'm not a Bryce hater and I would 100% move on.  Especially looking at how the upcoming qb draft looks on paper.  Hopefully he continues to improve but if in 3 seasons you're still chasing average season numbers then he's not going to be the guy.  You've just got to keep taking swings until you hit.  Average qbs without any elite physical traits cant get it done anymore.  So this year Hopefully he continues to develop and is above average statistically.

      An honest look at Bryce Young

      By panthers55 · Posted

      Meltdowns???? He was pulled by Canales because he wasn't executing the game plan after 2 games into the season so he could watch Dalton execute the offense and show Bryce the windows available in the NFL, how to push the ball down the field and how to step up and move around when blitzed. When Young came back 5 games later he clearly watched and improved. Enough he was named the future starter. He doesn't have a history of  meltdowns nor is there any reason to assume he will have one. From what I have read he is mentally strong and emotional stable. He may have bad games down the road, everyone does. But this is all a learning experience for him and so far he seems to be making progress. I can understand being hesitant on anything Panthers, but Young has surprisingly been able to gain his confidence after a disastrous start. You aren't alone in being cautious but I think he is the future. I thought he was too small and too short to succeed in the NFL. Honestly I was pleasantly surprised last year and am optimistic about the offense for the first time since Wilks and Dalton were decent.
