“This Coming Year is Gonna be Different”- Former NFL Star Reveals his High Hopes for Denver Broncos in the Upcoming Season

The 2020 NFL season is approaching fast. And teams have already started planning their practice camps. Players have begun their individual training, since large gatherings are prohibited across the country, as of now.

But that isn’t restricting players, former players, and club authorities from dreaming big about their respective sides’ future in the upcoming season.

For instance, former Denver Broncos linebacker Randy Gradishar believes that 2020 will be an impressive year for the men in orange.

Denver Broncos will do better?

The 68-year old 1989 Ring of Fame seemed highly optimistic while speaking to the club’s media representative about the team’s defensive line-up.

He also expressed his hopes to see the boys getting on the field, even if that means that games to be played without spectators. Later, the video of the interview was shared on Twitter.

Gradishar said, “I think they’re good. They’re only gonna be getting better. Chubb’s gonna be coming back. Von’s there. And the other guys are. They’ve long lost Curtis. With that, they have that … Because of injuries, that’s one thing you can never figure out. You get injuries throughout the year, and that certainly hurt you.

“So this coming year is gonna be different. It’s certainly gonna be … There’s COVID 19… I just hope they are able to play with the fans in the stands or there are no fans in the stands. At least we will be able to watch that.

“And I’m looking forward to the sideline being filled with NFL uniforms. It will be an opportunity to stay involved with the blockers and be a part of that in all the home games.”

Recipe for defensive success

During the last season, Denver Broncos were the NFL leaders as far as the red zone defense is concerned. Head Coach Vic Fangio always focuses more on the inside linebacker position, which turns out to be the most important one on the field under Vic’s leadership.

He tends to strategize his defensive play around the inside linebacker. In 2019, Todd Davis was in charge of that particular position. This year too, he will be ready to show his prowess on the pitch.

Teams might not want to commit the mistake of overlooking the Broncos’ defensive unit. They have the perfect recipe for success. The only thing that remains to be seen is whether they can cook it successfully.
