Nate Irving eager to contribute in place of injured Von Miller

[Denver Native (Carol)]

When he played, Von Miller could have been lined up as a linebacker or as a defensive end.

He might have rushed the passer from the right side or left side, or stunted from the middle. He might have faked a pass rush and dropped into coverage or started back in coverage and came in on a blitz.

There will be less tricks now that Nate Irving has replaced the injured Miller at strongside linebacker. The strong side means playing on the tight end's side. Ready, set, hit.

I so hope so. If Irving can live up to the expectations they have had for him for 3 years, he will be an asset. Its about time he starts lightin it up
My concern for him is that he has been fragile and can he make it through a full game without getting hurt

Yeah...so are we, Nate.

...just do it on the field, bro...

Nate played well today. He's solid against the run.

[LTC Pain]

Nate played well today. He's solid against the run.

And Nate tackles with a thump and Passion.

Had a sack too.

[Broncolingus]

From what I saw, he looked solid...

...I just remain (overall) concerned with the pass rush of our DL in the playoffs...

I wouldn't expect any help from officiating, that's for sure.

Yeah...

...particularly if it's against thug, molesting DBs like the Seac0cks have.

Too true, how a team gets away with their style in today's NFL is a mystery.

I was a big proponent of Nate when we drafted him and i still believe he can be a contributor from us. Yesterday was a great indication of what he can do. Now I hope he can do it against the big dogs in the playoffs. He has a lot to prove still, but loved his play yesterday.

[Dzone]

If Nate stays healthy, he is going to have an impact in the playoffs

[BroncoNut]

he had a good game yesterday. Clark, otoh, did not

It's the same thing Talib does. They grab and hold on every play. I think they just assume the officials aren't going to call it on every play, so it's a winning scenario for them.

That's my guy.

Can someone put together a highlight film of Nate Irving? It will help us get psyched for the playoffs. tia :beer:

[G_Money]

It'll be short. (love you Nate, hope to have a lot more highlights to add after the playoffs)

[Broncolingus]

It'll be short.

wow Dzone. you really make some bold statements and this is a perfect example

[Ziggy]

Nasty Nate adds just that to this defense. Nastiness. He doesn't tackle lightly. He brings a thump. He can't replace Von on this roster, but he does add something that this D desperately needs. Toughness and physicality behind the line.

[nevcraw]

just wish he was the MLB they thought he would be.
