The Denver defense didn't look like they were afraid of him.
Yes, there were several large black men on the Broncos D (Von Miller and Demarcus Ware come to mind) that had no fear of Cam and hammered him all night.
I don’t care who the QB is; keep pounding them (to coin a phrase), make them uncomfortable in the pocket and they’re going to make mistakes. The same Broncos defense sent Brady and the Patriots packing using the same tactics. And the Giants won two Super Bowls against the Pats doing the same thing—games where New England was clearly the better team.
Don’t know if Cam Newton has ever seen the kind of pressure he faced last night. John Elway deserves a lot of credit for getting the defensive talent his team needed after the beat-down they took from Seattle two years ago. And kudos to Wade Phillips for putting together a simple but dominant defensive scheme. His LBs and defensive backs were like glue on Carolina’s receivers and DL not only made Cam miserable, they dominated the line of scrimmage.
Von Miller is going to be a very rich man in free agency.
Completely agree. The Broncos D was on fire! They did to Carolina what the Panthers did to my belove Seahawks. Karma, poetic justice, proxy payback...
