Sayre Bedinger

He was kind of, you know, he changed the number, kind of felt like he took on a different level of like,

seriousness to the role in terms of okay yeah you you did your thing on special teams you came in the rotation and made a couple splash plays but what can you do on a more consistent basis I feel like we saw a huge step forward from him and he's one of those types of guys that you just feel like you you can count on week in and week out is his game perfect at this point no but he's somebody that I feel like he's he's got a really high floor at the position as long as he stays healthy

Yeah, they definitely did.

And that's an area of the team that, like you said, I mean, could that be impacted by the upgrades on the defensive line?

I mean, even just with Malcolm Roach coming in, you expect the Broncos to be improved in that area of their defense.

I mean, what has been the concern for all of these guys coming out of college?

People are like, yeah, we love the pass rush abilities, but can they hold up as full-time edge players?

Can you bust plays up in the, in the backfield there?

So I think there's so much that, that works together on the defensive front.

That's going to help this Broncos team be better.

And these,

players individually be better?

The question that I have is, is with Jonathan Cooper and any of these other guys, how much better could they be if the Broncos did have a, I mean, let's say somebody that's as good as Bradley Chubb, we'll not go back to prime Von Miller, but let's just say if, if Bradley Chubb was still there on the other side of the line of scrimmage,

you feel like Jonathan Cooper could be much better individually and that he would be able to take advantage of more opportunities.

I mean, that's the main question.

And I think when you talk about kind of this, this tension with fans that are observing the team and watching the team and clamoring for certain players ahead of the 2024 NFL draft, like the sect of people out there that wants the Broncos to take Jared verse or whoever it may be Dallas Turner at the top of this draft, uh,
