Von Miller arrested

[Steve]

Their d had a huge advantage having Von Miller and Dumervil coming off the edges. That secondary is going to have to cover for a long time.

Miller and Dumervil are the kinds of players, individually you game plan around. With both coming off the edge, it was almost impossible to give extra help to both sides and attack their secondary. Life was a whole lot easier when they were down to just Miller and now they are a lot easier to deal with. They still have a solid interior DL, their DE are good against the run, their LB corp is OK, their secondary is fairly good, but they jump from a middle of the road D in the statistical sense who can make big plays to a very average group that lacks the big play potential. It totally changes what opponents have to do on offense. You can play your game and Denver has to react, where last year, you had to account for the edge rushers and stay out of long down and distance situations.

Like when the Colts had Manning ringing up the points, playing from ahead and Mathis and Freeney would rush the passer to death.
