OT: Von Miller and Elvis Dumervil are having races to see who can get to the QB first. I really think that playing OLB in a 4-3 is really allowing Miller to use his speed to run free. I am not sure if he would have be able to do the same playing OLB in a 3-4.

Any success this defense will have this year is going to be based off of how good of a coordinator Horton is...

The personnel to be a top level defense just isn't present..

We have no pass rush, mediocre CBs (until Peterson gets some experience), and Rashad Johnson playing safety..

You can't be successful with that combination..

Horton is going to have to be very very creative for this defense not to finish in the back third of the NFL..

The team absolutely would be better off scrapping the 3-4 given that our OLBs are dreadful

I think that Von Miller will turn out to be a bust. Just a little too high for a guy like him

Playing in the 4-3 and being protected by the DE is really allowing him to play fast and match up against backs and tight ends. He is a pro bowler in the 4-3.

OT: Wade Phillips is Conner Barwin's new best friend. Has turned a bubble player into a potential edge force.

Penalties have to stop. We are not good enough to overcome the losses in yardage.

Now when we talk about beanie's runs this game, let's make sure to exclude that outlier to get a true gauge of his performance.
