Gotta agree with FTW. The loss of Danny Trevathan will have a huge impact on the Denver run D. Trevathan was huge for them in the middle last year after he replaced Woodyard. He led the team in Tackles and forced fumbles. They expected their 4-3 to be devestating with Miller, Wolfe, Ware, Trevathan, and Knighton leading the way. They don't really have an adequate replacement for Trevathan that I know of..
I'm also not sold on the Broncos O-line. Ryan Clady is returning from a Lis franc injury. Ramirez didn't have to face the likes of Wilfork last year. And the rest of the interior of the O-line isn't anything to write home about.
As for running the ball, Denver doesn't have Moreno anymore. Ball has issues holding onto the ball (3 fumbles, 3 lost) on just 120 carries. Hillman is a poor man's Branden Bolden.
I wouldn't be surprised if Denver wins only 9 games this year.
