His job is and was to occupy blockers, so the LBers or other DL can make the tackles. No glory, juts bring your lunch pail and fight in the the trenches. I said it when he left, he would be missed. I said he was a big part over the years of teams not being able to run on us. Fast forward to 2017 and a Denver defense that had a major run defense weakness holds the Cowboys to 40 yards rushing (yes only 40 yeards) with 24 coming from the QB. The best running team in the NFL with the best OL in the league gets shut down.

We lost a great OT and many were worried and rightly so, I was as well. Our fears were realized as the OL is struggling mightily. We lose a big run stopper and because he was not in the limelight, many trashed Peko, called him garbage, yet Elway signs him for big bucks (for a run stopper), plus him into a great pass defense team and now the Denver defense fixed a weakness. Meanwhile, the first 2 games, teams are running on our defense. Our run defense is clearly our weakness right now on defense. But may fans will ignore Peko loss being on par or close to a Whittworth loss due to their past ill advised comments now making them not look very smart.

First of all, as to the bolded, why go there?  You can't just say what you have to say and leave it at that?  Gotta take a shot at somebody6, right.  Passive aggressive bullshit.

Second, teams ran plenty on us last year until Burfict came back, so, swing and miss on that one.  And when he comes back, the run defense will magically be much better, further emphasizing the wrongness of your passive aggressive nonsense.
