Dre’Mont Jones is “very disruptive.”
D.J. Jones plans to be a "wrecking ball.”
Together, Jones & Jones have their eyes set on being part of the best defensive line in the NFL.
They always say, "Next man up." But what happens when you run out of next men? The Broncos might be at that point if their COVID-19 woes get any worse.
By Tuesday afternoon, George Paton and Vic Fangio must narrow down the Broncos' roster from 80 players to the final 53.
Here's who is projected to make the final roster.
The Broncos practiced like it was September ... At QB, Fangio said he considers the work from last week "in totality," and not just focused on Saturday's game reps against Minnesota reserves ... and Baron Browning makes his training-camp debut.
The past few practices, Drew Lock’s lost the “gunslinger” to his game, while Teddy Bridgewater has tried to shake being “Mr. Checkdown.”
Both of those were very clear during Friday’s practice.
Despite all of the talent across the Broncos' defense, entering the weekend, the starting unit hadn't had a single interception the first three days of camp.
On Saturday, they changed that in a big way.
The first day of training camp was about the stars. Von Miller and Jerry Jeudy shined on Wednesday to open camp.
Thursday, however, was about the players that don't get the attention and praise they deserve.
Thanks to Denver re-signing Shelby Harris, the Broncos won't be forced to reach for a defensive lineman from a very underwhelming group.
Denver's defense is guaranteed to see more games lost by starters than it did last year. How can it cope?
First, expect to see more combinations involving Shelby Harris and Mike Purcell in pass-rush situations. After all, they're the only two players left from the D-line's active complement from the first two games.
The Broncos' pass rush is going to be a problem for opponents. Sunday morning, it was a problem for Denver's offense.
Vic Fangio began Friday's practice by bringing his team together in a huddle. After a minute of Fangio addressing his team, players started to hoot and holler and get hyped for whatever message the coach was delivering.
The defense took that shot of energy and ran with it to start practice. The offense, however, didn't pick up on it one bit as they came out flat, sluggish and out of tune. The energy started to hit the offense as the practice went on.
While being a third-round pick is certainly impressive, McTelvin Agim hasn’t always been in the back half of Top 100 rankings. In fact, coming out of high school, the 6-foot-3, 309-pound lineman was a five-star recruit, the No. 1 rated prospect coming out of the state of Arkansas and the reigning Gatorade Player of the Year in Arkansas. Talent, clearly, has never been an issue for Denver’s newest defensive lineman.
It could be the defense that carries the Broncos. And if it does, that D will rely on some new additions of its own to reach its potential.
Not only does Denver’s $122 million allocated to the defense lead the league, but it’s also 33 percent more than the league average of $92 million. That means Vic Fangio’s unit better be darn good.
With their third and final selection in the third round of the 2020 NFL Draft, the Denver Broncos selected former five-star recruit McTelvin Agim, the talented defensive lineman from Arkansas. Agim showed great versatility playing defensive end and tackle in college and was the Razorbacks’ best pass rusher in his final two seasons. Despite being a bit of a boom-or-bust…...
Lloyd Cushenberry has the clearest path to the starting lineup. Michael Ojemudia could be a key part of the Broncos' sub packages. And McTelvin Agim is more of a developmental player, but as an interior pass rusher possesses a desired skill set.
