Sal11 -1.
SalOne in previous years by Josh McDaniels, Ben Johnson, Jim Schwartz. The Denver defense right up there with Houston. I didn't even look at this one.
SalYeah.
SalThe 68 -63 sacks the last two years. They had four guys with at least seven sacks Denver. He came in second last year, Vance Joseph, to Josh McDaniels. He had like 80 votes. McDaniels had 130 or something. And so I think he wins it this year. Plus 1,100.
SalWas Mike McDaniel the favorite for this?
