Every year it gets harder, and harder to defend our DL coach. Looking at our depth chart is very disappointing.
Which I will never understand. Nicholas had a decent year imo. But he was never a guy that was going to rack up the stats. He's a guy that was a disruption up front, and that's all we can ask for really.DL recruiting for the upcoming 2010 prospects isn't looking too good. We'll see how many new guys pop up on our radar if CU starts and finiishes strong this season. Bandison? Did a decent job with hypo and Brandon although they had better junior years than senior seasons.
All our coaches could be in the category of being questioned for player development and improvement.
Actually, I would agree with your db comments. Despite the lack of a pass rush, the pass defense wasn't too bad. Didn't mean to put cabral in with others,he's awesome, they just didn't play well last year as a group,especially against the run. They need to be very strong this season until our DL catches up.Which I will never understand. Nicholas had a decent year imo. But he was never a guy that was going to rack up the stats.

Hypo was a different story. I really saw him regress last season. Basic things really. The biggest one was not wrapping up. Ughh. I couldn't count how many times I saw that happen.
That isn't true. I think the secondary has made great strides overall. I don't think anyone can argue with that.
Same with the LB's. A lot of you guys are down on Jeff Smart, but I think the kid has been doing a solid job given the circumstances. I think Cabral has gotten everything he could out of Smart. And I don't mean any disrespect to the young man. That's jmo.
I am also willing to bet that the OL will be a force. Last year was a fluke with all the injuries. I think Grimes did a good job developing these young men, and Denver will continue that.
Same for the RB's.
