    Yea, that was my feeling after he was drafted. If he returns from the injury quickly, and nearly as fast/effective as before the torn ACL, he has the potential to be a great draft pick and make a huge impact.

    I think we'll have a deadly pass rush this year. Ayers really turned it up some last year, Malik Jackson is incredibly talented and Smith was a big time steal. I see us having a very Giants-esque defense where we can run a multitude of sub packages based on the situation and keep our players fresh.

    I'm excited about this kid I just hope he doesn't rush things and get hurt again. Even with Doom gone i feel good about RDE with Phillips, Ayers and Beal. Beal could end up surprising everybody in the end. He was looking VERY good before getting hurt last preseason.

    I'm guessing their putting Q. Smith at RDE.

    I imagine we'll probably run with Ayers and Wolfe at RDE and LDE, respectively, in our base package. When we go to our sub packages I imagine one or both will move inside with Von coming down onto the line and Jackson/Smith taking the other end spot.

    Ayers is a very good run defender, spending most of his time as a SOLB in the 3-4 and LDE in the 4-3. Wolfe is also an equally talented run defender. We have plenty of run stuffers at DT with Vickerson, Knighton and Williams.

    Isn't that supposed to be Knighton and Williams?

    I prefer "Pot Roast", I stopped eating Pork Chops when I saw a pet Pig lying on someones couch with a baby sleeping, using the pig as a pillow. Besides, I like anything with Roasted Pot.

    Only real players we've lost in the front 7 are Doom, Brooking, and Bannan. No one could call Doom a run stopper, Brooking was on the field less than 50% of the plays, and Bannan is the only one I'd miss in regards to run stopping.

    SHORYUKEN!

    From what I've seen of Q. Smith on film he seems to do ok against the run.

    That doesnt scare you? Knighton lost his job to CJ mosely, Vickerson had one of the worst DT ratings in 2012 and Williams is a rookie that excels at pass rushing. I dont expect we'll see too much run this season, but when we do, I'll be holding my breath

    It concerns me. We have a long history of getting excited in Bronco nation about journeymen DT's.
