The three linebackers at the top of the Broncos’ depth chart entered the 2013 season with a combined total of 31 starts.

All 31 belonged to the man in the middle, Wesley Woodyard.

Neither of his linebacker counterparts Nate Irving and Danny Trevathan had ever started an NFL game before, but with Woodyard’s leadership, the unit quickly jelled into a productive and cohesive unit.

“I just tell guys, ‘You never know what kind of opportunity you have at hand, so take advantage of it,’” Woodyard said of his advice to the young linebackers. “One of my veterans, Mario Haggan, told me, ‘Hey, a lot of young guys aren’t blessed with the opportunity to get a chance to play the game of football so early. It’s an opportunity that you don’t want to give up.’”

Well, it’s Friday and we’re starting to get our bags packed for tomorrow’s trip to Dallas.

The Cowboys are a good team, a tough team to go against. They are are always a team to look out for. They have a good running attack and a good passing attack. Overall, they are a balanced team, whether they are going to pass it or run the ball.

We definitely have to stop Witten and our DBs definitely have to know where No. 88, Dez Bryant, is. Those are pretty much the keys in the passing game – and then if Miles Austin is going, we have to be tough on him, too.

Woodyard is a type of guy you make a Bronco for life.
