The NFL is mostly about the quick passing game to set up runs and deep shots.
Denver had such great success because Wolfe and Jackson got pressure up the middle and their LBs could cover TE and RBs.
You couldn't drop back to avoid the interior pressure because Ware and Miller would be waiting for you.
You couldn't step up to avoid edge pressure because Jackson and Wolfe would be waiting for you.
It disrupts offenses to no end when you can pressure up the middle.
Speed off the edge, power up the middle. We just got 1 and 1 to there 2 combos, Dunlap and Geno's backs should've broke from carrying the pass rush this year. Heck, I remember plugging Sylvester Williams too. That front 7 deserves waaaaay more credit than its getting.
Nothing would make me happier than a Marv quote about needing to get faster in the trenches and second level, but whether or not he actually believes that, we'll never hear it.
