Team Bad Ass Robert Ayers

by todd7 on Sep 19, 2011 9:30 PM MDT

On the great Bronco teams there was Romo, and Steve Atwater. Then John Lynch stepped into the role of

bad ass for a few years, and now Robert Ayers.

It started with a vicious hit on McFadden during the Raider game on a horse collar move that led to a penalty and

a fine. It was about the first time in the last few seasons that someone on the Broncos stood up to Mcfadden and

brought him down hard. Broncomaniacs loved the hit and the intensity Ayers showed.

Then this week Ayers had a clean hit on fourth down when he burst into the backfield and nearly sacked Dalton on

a key fourth quarter play. Dalton's throw went incomplete. Ayers and Woodyard deserve much of the credit for this

weeks win. Wilhite also had a sack on Dalton that led to a 9 yard loss in the final minute of the game.

How long Ayers can retain the team bad ass status is an open question with Dawkins, Dumervil, and Miller

constantly making plays this season.

Keep it going Ayers.

Love the way Ayers and Mays and Hunter are showing up this year. Seems the switch to the 4-3 may have really freed up some of these guys to do what they do best.

This is Sammy Davis Jr. Jr. She is my grandfathers seeing eye bitch. She is also deranged.

Joe Mays' progression from week one was leaps and bounds...

if he continues to improve and improve with his coverage skills he is a player we will be proud of shortly…

I've come around

Ayers is a very solid player who got snubbed by the McDaniels era. Still not a fan of Moreno though

McDaniels drafted him from a 4/3 DE at #18 in the first round expecting him to be a beast OLB.

That experiment failed in terms of sack production as was first expected. he was solid at sealing the edge on his side with the run stop though and gave him enough to stay on the roster. Now he is playing his natural position of DE and has taking advantage of the move. I look for him and Von to wreck havoc on that side of the line as they get more acquainted with Allen’s playbook. Good things to come…

Ayers' play is improving every week and if he stays healthy I look for great things coming his way in Allen's defense...

better every week..

I think we will see our ‘D’ improve as a unit every week. It is nice to see Ayers stepping it up! I think this defensive scheme will give players like Ayers/Mays/Hunter an opportunity. It is what they do with it that counts.

I'm so optimistic I'd go after Moby Dick in a row boat and take the tartar sauce with me.~Zig Ziglar
