Defensive Line Proving Depth

[Denver Native (Carol)]

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. – Second-year defensive tackle Sylvester Williams doesn’t feel safe on top of the depth chart.

Breathing down his neck are Kevin Vickerson, Mitch Unrein, Marvin Austin and a few other talented linemen. He isn’t alone in his unwillingness to be satisfied with his name on top of the list.

The depth of the defensive line prevents its members from feeling safe on top of the depth chart or on the team. It’s competitive, so it’s pushing the linemen to improve quickly and push themselves.

OMG! Just OMG! :shocked:


Vickerson said he can’t remember a time when the line had this much depth. He compared this line to the 2010 line with Ryan McBean, Marcus Thomas and Ronald Fields. He said the team was deep at defensive tackle then, just as the team is now.

God help us if this year's defensive line plays like Thomas, Fields and Ryan McBean, probably the worst crew of DTs I can remember in Broncos orange. Not one of them is in the NFL today and deservedly so.

Thomas is still playing football . . . with the Toronto Argonauts! The last time McBean was in the news was 2011 . . . arrested for stalking his ex-girlfriend.
