…when used correctly. Sadly was our most talented d-linemen but he should have been strictly a situational guy. I think next year, once we acquire more depth, we could see him reach 13 sacks again.

Just look what they did with Abraham in ATL. Mike Smith cuts back his snaps and yet it only increases his sack total and even makes him a pro-bowler. The first step to increasing Doom’s sack total will be getting an adequat run stuffer…

He is undersized and he gets pushed around when teams run the ball. Against the Bills I saw one play where he was blown 3 to 4 yards off the ball. He has great pass rush skills, he uses exceptional technique and always has great leverage due to his size. I think he is a situational player and a situational player definitely isn’t the best on the squad.

As far as being double teamed on every play, I don’t think that is accurate. He may get chipped by a back or TE but it is rarely two on one for the duration of the snap.

I think one of the reasons people are clamoring for his release or trade is that the Broncos have been getting pushed around and when you have ’lightweight" ends playing every snap the need for more bulk or size is warranted.

In my opinion he should be a situational pass rusher in the 3-4.

he does get held a lot. i agree he needs to on the bench on obvious run downs, though. keep him as an elite pass-rusher, because he can be with some help somewhere on the d-line.

but the biggest thing is most people will probably see Doom on the outside if we move to a 3-4 combined with his down year.

i see alot of people thinking moss, crowder, and even doom will make a good olb in the 3-4. i just don’t see it. dj, yes. those other guys lack the tackling ability to play a lb position. remember how bad tackling at the lb position looks last season? same problems on the line, thomas/powell/engelberger/moss/crowder/ doom is not a 3-4 end, we don’t have a 3-4 end, maybe eck can do it or peterson. and nose tackle, you cannot just plug in a fat guy and go from there. he will be the key to your defense, more so than mlb. if he goes down/doesn’t play well, your entire defense suffers. a new secondary added to the mix, as well as new position coaches, and well, you get the idea.

am i the only one not in favor of getting rid of/using out of position the likes of the entire d? champ, don’t need him now. your money will be more needed elsewhere. bly, bye. you can’t tackle, and a 3-4 corner needs to tackle. doom, doomed. is this really necessary, and why the march towards the 3-4? a strong 4-3 would be sufficient right now. i am on record as favoring a 4-3 line-up and not blowing up the d. bring me 7 starters, and i’ll change my mind, as the 3-4 is my favorite defensive alignment. just not with this crew and a few additions/rookies. it would be another nightmare next season, trust me. and i can’t do that again. no. and no 3-man rush, please.

opposing offensive lines would have to block him and a LB…the only problem is they wouldn’t know which LB is coming and from where.

He is an overachiever, but he is limited playing the run and he can’t beat a double team or chip block, plus I saw him get owned by a lot of second rate OT this year, he has talent, but probably nothing more than a specialist.
