The 2016 D was ranked as good as or higher than some of Bronco's defenses on paper. 2014 wasn't very good and we had the opposite problem back then... A good offense but the defense kept blowing it. 2008 was ranked worse than the 2017 D. Technically 2014 was as well. Our pass D was 112 in 2008. Yikes.
We're slowly getting the right pieces. This could be the year where we really have it. If they struggle, it's on coaching. We have the players.
