One, they will not get back because he signed a new deal with the Tennessee Titans, and that is John Franklin Myers.

And I think the loss of Franklin Myers is a rather big one because the Broncos, it seems, are using a bit of a money ball tactic when it comes to trying to replace him, at least on that roster, with multiple different guys.

Now, Malcolm Roach, I feel like, has done a pretty bang-up job, all things considered, and frankly has been one of the steals as far as the Broncos' free agent signings and as far as how well he has done.

D.J. Jones is getting older and it feels like he's on the decline just a little bit.

Wazirike was one of those players on the shortlist who felt like he was going to be taking that step up in the loss of John Franklin Myers.

And Savion Jones, the Broncos spent a relatively high mid-round pick, if I'm not mistaken, on Savion.

I think there's some spurts where he's come in and he's looked good and he's looked the part.

Unfortunately, it's been a little bit too inconsistent out of the gate for Savion Jones.

So we'll see if that trend kind of continues a little bit where things are trending upward or trending downward.

And I think the other side of this that I think is worth mentioning is the Jonathan Cooper situation.

This is the first year that that Broncos past rush unit in general has It will be without Jonathan Cooper.

And I have to think that that might be playing somewhat into a factor for why that Broncos pass rush in general is faltering a little bit.
