Very, very good. The Broncos made a real effort this year to improve on last year’s 28th ranked run defense. The addition of nose tackle Domata Peko and the improved play of the inside linebackers Brandon Marshall and Todd Davis have led this team to an historic start. The 203 rushing yards allowed through four games is the best in Broncos history. As for the pass defense, it’s still a strong unit. They rank 10th in the league with 210 passing yards per game but have given up some big plays along with that. Most of this is a result of teams being forced to pass more with yards hard to come by on the ground. It also would be unfair to say that the loss of veteran leader TJ Ward hasn’t changed the swagger of the No-Fly Zone, but his replacement, Justin Stewart, is still young and has amazing potential. Superstar Von Miller has yet to be a force statistically this year, but he is still an incredible talent that demands double team attention regularly. Add to this the aggressive style of new Defensive Coordinator Joe Woods, and you have the makings of an elite defense. Grade: A

This is the Raven and the Raven knows. Von Miller is going to get better he is too good for teams to keep stopping him from getting to there OB. I like what you guys are doning keep it up.
This is the Raven and the Raven knows. Yes the Broncos defense is really good but for the game against the 0-5 Giants I can not give them an A on defense I give them a B+. They gave up some Big plays against the Giants offended line.Sorry about that. For the Ravens who said that there defense was going to be better then there 2000 defense I give them a D- on there offense and a D on there defense. I always call it like I see it. To all you Bronco Fans out there I wish you Good Luck in the game with the Chargers this Sunday. An as always be Happy and keep 🙂.
