John Elway could only describe it as a feeling. No numbers, no names could do it justice.
On Jan. 13, two days after Denver fell to Indianapolis in a divisional playoff game, the Broncos general manager stood before an auditorium of confused reporters as he explained his reasoning for parting ways with coach John Fox, who had led the team to four consecutive AFC West titles. Elway tried to explain their different mindsets, their different approaches toward building a Super Bowl winner.
"It's a disappointing that we didn't have more fire," he said. "I don't know why we didn't have more fire; it's hard to explain."
Four weeks later, Elway welcomed the return of defensive coordinator Wade Phillips.
Six months later, in the preseason, Elway saw the early sparks of the new defense.
