Mailbag: Dove Valley overhaul - Denver Post
They've gone now, Bryan, with a new coach and a new defensive coordinator. I'm not sure about either, honestly.
I preferred one of the quality defensive coordinators -- Steve Spagnuolo (even though he blew me off after the Giants lost on Sunday night) and Rex Ryan of the Ravens, who I love, but may not get a job because of the baggage of his father (Buddy Ryan). But Rex Ryan has done incredibly well with the Ravens. He's a John Madden-type guy in appearance and style.
The Broncos have to sign two safeties (Mike Brown is my choice, from the Chicago Bears, often hurt, but great when he plays, and a field leader), a linebacker (I like Channing Crowder from the Dolphins, and he won't cost that much, and is a great tackler) and Julius Peppers and Terrell Suggs (an end/linebacker). Albert Haynesworth will get all the attention, but I don't think he fits the new 3-4 defense in Denver , and you can get a couple of great players for what he will cost.
I'd draft at No. 12 a defensive
