this defense's legacy is going to be determined in the Playoffs. The 2015 Broncos won the SB on the back of their defense, absolutely carried Peyton's corpse. This year the Texans don't have any generational QBs/offenses to deal with in the AFC. Who is the scariest offensive team? Jaguars? Bills who we have owned? There should be no excuse for the "best defense in the last 20 years" to not dominate all the way to the Super Bowl IMO. It's going to be put up or shut up for these guys.
Very good interview with Togiai 3 things that stood out, Tommy asking for a gym membership as a kid instead of Red Ryder bb gun. Manti really loves his fake girlfriend documentary. The chick's Festivus for the rest of us sweater.
Thanks for sharing @conquistador#11. This is a guy we don't talk about enough and has being having an impact as a interior guy. This is a great video that highlights the little things Tommy does that make a difference--he gets double-teamed a lot it seems.
Sure it should be, Look at Ohio St. OG Siereveld and Northwestern OL Tiernan and there are others. This is a good year to draft OL. Particularly in rds 2-3 IMHO.
There is a big drop off from starters to back up so I agree, you have to stop the run and our backups are OK, but not great
Didn't see it posted anywhere, good read on the 3 best defenses in the NFL: https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/47529152/2025-nfl-playoffs-best-defenses-broncos-texans-seahawks
this seems like a defensive system that can continuously reload and be great every year so long as Demeco is coaching
It's not scheme based, it's SWARM and talent based. As long as Nick can draft talented players, and DeMeco can turn them into SWARM, then it will be good. If the talent level dips, then our defense will suffer. We gave up 30 to the Colts because we played backups.
