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.

      An honest look at Bryce Young

      By ForJimmy · Posted

      The teams this 2nd year player (can’t really blame the years before he was drafted on him) was playing were going 100% as most do most weeks in the NFL. The whole argument is about his play during that period and how well was he actually playing. I’m with you on the winning though. Just start winning and fans will get excited. Start getting in the playoffs and winning and we won’t care how his PFF or box score stats look. 200 yards a game to 400 yards a game, start scoring and winning playoffs games and 99% of fans will buy in.

      Yeah, we are gonna be raw.  Wonnum, for the past 3 years, has been averaging 8 sacks a season (4 in one season when he missed half a season).  I am OK, but yes, they will be thrown to the fire.

      I like this because it means one or both of the rookies will be thrust into a bigger role right away and we can see what they might be. I don't like this because it just makes our team that much younger and inexperienced.  You need vets to help the young guys learn, I just hope we aren't going too far in the opposite direction.  All our FA signings were guys just coming off their rookie deals too, I get why we're doing it, but having the savvy vets help in other ways too.
