Don't know if they'll improve that much, but there is one good thing I think you can say about Denver.

Elway deserves praise for being willing to acknowledge that he was the problem.

People at that level generally have such huge egos that they won't allow any such thoughts, but Elway did.

Will it get better under Paton? Unknown, but it sure as hell wasn't getting better under Elway.

They will get Von Miller back this year.  That's gonna a pretty big bump vs last year.

Von Miller hasn't looked like Von Miller in awhile. I think he's done as a top tier edge rusher. Still a nice player to have, but no longer the cornerstone of a defense.

Is Miller still all that good though?

My impression from recent seasons is not so much.

He might not be "single handedly win a Super Bowl" good right now.  But yeah, I would think he definitely improves that D vs not having him at all last year.

Improve from 21 to possibly 1? I think people are referring to 7 year ago Broncos.

A couple of people have pointed out that the Packers not having a traditional owner is something that kind of hurts them in regard to the issue with Rodgers.

There's not a guy who can just step in, put his foot down and say "this is what we're going to do".

You were the one saying owners shouldn't do that.

I've seen speculation of them getting Watson too.

Not so sure I'd bet on either of those things happening, but hey...

I don’t see anyone getting Watson this year unless something groundbreaking happens with those legal issues....

      Mini camp Day Two

      Posted before in this thread, he broke his leg late in 2015 after being dominant in the slot that year too, pretty sure that injury prompted us to sign Finnegan out of retirement (who to his credit was great as a late season injury replacement off the street). Not that it would've made much of a difference in the SB anyways with our OL getting killed, but we got absolutely decimated by injury at CB late that year with Bene breaking his leg and I think Peanut Tillman tore his achilles or something in like week 16. That was rough.  But yeah Bene was truly a great slot corner, one of the best in the league, before that injury. Then in 2016 he came back out of shape and without the agility he had before and was just not good. Rivera inexplicably matched him against Julio without any adjustments that game and then we cut him. He had declined enough anyways but I hardly blame him for the Julio game. Dude was a slot corner who was already struggling that year, not someone you matchup against a guy who at the time was easily a top 3-5 WR in the league, if not the best...

      Bene got scapegoated for that game. Literally. I think we cut him like a day or two after that game. He looked really good as a rookie but then had an injury that I can't recall exactly what it was and was just never the same after that.
