I think the other factor would simply be a prevalence of new guys. Nate Webster's starting; while he was here last year, he was a backup (except for two games) and is still new to Denver's starting defensive XI. Ditto Elvis Dumervil, Amon Gordon and John Engelberger ... while they were here, they're in new roles with new responsibilities. Then you have newcomers Sam Adams and Dre' Bly, along with Jimmy Kennedy and the three draft picks in the front-line rotation ... new system, new players, new guys at new positions (like D.J.) have collectively shook the defense like a soda can. You just need to take your time opening it up so it doesn't cascade out of the opening and end up on the floor, so to speak. jonahsilas: Ernster had told me how he'd like to get back into programming at some point ... but I think he's going to give the punting thing a little more of a go. I think he proved he belonged, and as Shanahan pointed out on Tuesday, guys like Ernster who can punt and kick off are pretty rare. I think he'll land on his feet. If I can get in touch with them, I'll pass along the message ... and hopefully each of them will be back in Denver and the fans can give them a proper and classy welcome back to the Mile High City. sicknessfl:

I mean, how cool is it to have your website built by a former punter? I sure am going to miss Lang's quips, and feel like the team is going ot miss his veteran outlook with so many young DE's in the mix. He sealed his fate in the SF game last year when he tried to pick up that fumble instead of falling on it. I'll bet us fans aren't the only ones who would like that play back... If you can deliver these guys a message, make sure they know that us fans loved having them as part of Bronco Nation, thank them for us and wish them the best in wherever their travels take them.

I live on the east coast and get limited news and notes regarding the Broncos. We've all seen the "slow start" from the Broncos 1st team D thus far, I'm wondering what the problem is. Are they not getting the system down? Is it the injuries? Is it getting used to DJ in the middle? Is it the fact that it's preaseason and the supposed "unwritten rule" regarding blitzing and what not? Any input? I'm really excited about the potential the offense has, but I'm equally as worried about the defense.
