I read Dumervil's blog prior to the game.
I made a comment & I'd like to share it with you all.
Broncos defense did one hell of a job against the Jets.
They deserve some credit.

The comment I left......
"When we look at a football player, it’s easy to get lost in stats.
Now, I’m only going to admit this to make my point, but I’m a Colts fan.
However, I was a Cards fan first. Louisville by birth, thank you very much. Now I proudly wear my Dumervil (Broncos) jersey during just about every game. I do this because the minute he stepped onto the field in Louisville, I saw that behind the smaller than normal size was a fierce powerhouse. What got him onto that field is what lacks most in the NFL these days.
You see, even though he has talent, there are three things that really got Elvis into the draft in the first place…
Heart, passion & hunger.
Out of any defensive player on that team, he has the most of these three qualities. He knows (all too well) what it’s like to come into something as an underdog. He’s been an underdog from the beginning. I hope he knows that this is a good thing. It’s why I’m inspired to wear that jersey over a Freeney one.
Using what you have on this defense, I think it’s more than possible for the Broncos to shut-down the Jets’ offense. It’s going to take heart, passion & hunger. Being understated can be an advantage, but the Jets know Elvis is there. I think by now, lol, every offense in the league knows he’s there.
And to Elvis, if you read this…
Being a big play-maker in an undersized defensive line, you have it in you to bring up morale and get these guys psyched to get the job done. Remind everyone on that field why you’re here….heart, passion and hunger.
And please thank your mother for giving you those qualities…along with the “Cool” name that goes with it."
