Clemmings has looked better but a switch from right to left was done this season. It's going to be rough. 

I had no idea he was a DE his freshman/sophomore year in college.  So he only has 3 total years as a RT, and this year they're moving him to LT?  You're probably right... that will be rough.

Yeesh.

Well, it's not like our DL is doing anything so who cares? Soliai, Delaire, Addison, Ealy, Star, Short, Johnson and Butler haven't done much this season.

We could play a peewee team, and our pass rush could still suck.

The stats aren't there, but I'm more inclined to trust Rivera's comments this week about the defensive line performance than your hot take.

Man, the hits just keep on coming. It's almost as if the Vikings are somehow the recipients of Denver's mountain of bad karma.

The thing is that none of these injuries will probably impact them. They may have actually upgraded going from Teddy to Bradford, AP was not being a factor and Kalil isn't a big loss for them

I could care less about his comments. He's a coach. The truth will never be said to the public. Again, if our boys are good to go then we better see 6-7 sacks on Sunday. If not, then it's just coach speak as usual.

So I guess Cam and the offense sucks if they don't up 60 points this week either.

Their D is still beast.

You realize that 3 sacks a game gets you in the top 5 sack teams in the NFL? Denver led the league in sacks last year with 52. 6-7 per game is double the best pass rush in the league. Expecting that is a bit much.

Calling the Addison "sack" a sack is = telling Catman he won a "car" and giving him the palm sized toy car.  

There is zero pressure, much less consistent pressure, from the DE position.  Pure and simple.  

If there's none this week against this dumpster fire OL then not only does the simple, easy, and obvious acquisition need to be made, but multiple.

Good news for our pass rush.

I dont think it is.  Anyone could have done better than he was doing last week.

He's not healthy. Suffered 2 bad knee injuries and has never looked the same. Feel sorry for the guy. He was an all pro as a Rookie.

Where are you from?

Pro Bowl, not All Pro. A big difference.

An injured o-line and a fragile QB. It's time to eat defensive line!

This makes 0 sense.

Sorry. This was a huge mistake. Not sure how I confused the two.

I don't know what games you were watching,  but there has been a consistent pass rush and consistant pressure. Neither quarterback from our first two games was able to just sit back. Denver use a three-step drop and the ball was out of his hands. That is an excellent way to avoid a good pass rush. It's pretty obvious to me that you're not watching the same games and I'm watching and it's obvious to me that you also don't give a f*** about the facts. So since you want to keep on grinding that  axe, why don't you go grind it somewhere else because that s*** don't fly here.
