For this week’s 3 & Out I spoke with Brandon Thorn. In case you somehow didn’t know Denver Broncos T-Shirt , Thorn is a self described line of scrimmage enthusiast and works for both The Scouting Academy and USA Football. He’s one of the best Twitter follows you can find if you like in depth line of scrimmage analysis.Our interview has been lightly edited for clarity. 1st and 10This Broncos offensive line has been a bit of a revelation in how much they’ve improved. I saw you gave Paradis some love after Baltimore, you called McGovern a “pleasant surprise” through 2 weeks and I’ve seen Bolles get credit too. Do you think their performance is sustainable? Where can they most improve? I do think their performance so far is sustainable in terms of being an average to above average OL. On an individual level in terms of skill-set, physical traits, and performance so far this season the strengths of the unit in order are C-LG-RG-LT-RT. I view the interior as the strength of the unit right now, particularly in run-blocking. McGovern has been a pleasant surprise in the physicality, play strength, and overall run-blocking ability he brings to the unit. I’ve noticed him struggle at times with the timing and accuracy of his strike in pass-protection, along with hitting set points in his pass set (under/oversetting), but that is a pretty common struggle for a lot of inexperienced guards, especially having to go against the deepest position group in the NFL (interior defensive line). Bolles looks a lot like the player he did coming out of Utah when I did a full evaluation on him. His athleticism Denver Broncos Hats , play speed, and competitive toughness show up on tape, whereas his inability to consistently anchor to stop power, and overall hand usage struggle. I haven’t seen much improvement from him since last season in these areas. Veldheer has been adequate, but ‘adequate’ is a stark improvement for this unit compared to the caliber of RT play we have seen over the last 2-3 years so it may appear to some as better than it is.2nd and 5I was lower on Bolles than most coming out because of his age so your assessment is definitely a bit discouraging. It also seems like he can really let the team down in pass protection here and there such as the ole’ against Terrell Suggs. Do you think he’s kind of a set product, or could he continue to improve at anchoring and using his hands? I think he can improve things like technique..which is his biggest issue. Getting to the right spot in his pass set so he can establish an inside-out, half-man relationship with the defender is a big issue for him. When he over or under sets a rusher, he tends to get grabby as a means to ‘recover’ rather than reposition his feet while maintaining his base and balance. If he can learn to get to his spot consistently in pass-protection against various defensive alignments (5-6-7-9 techniques) then he will be in optimal position to use his hands. The problem is he struggles with set points AND proper hand placement/timing. This is also the root cause of him struggles transitioning to his anchor so he can stop power. I think his play strength is solid, so not much better than average. If his technique doesn’t improve significantly I’m afraid this will always be an issue. I had a 2nd round grade on him coming out for the Inside the Pylon Draft Guide, and my two biggest concerns were anchor and overall technique. Those seem to still be what are still restricting necessary growth.3rd and 3Moving to the defensive side of the ball. What do you see? It seemed like Elway’s plan before the season was to let Talib go in order to pay Keenum Denver Broncos Hoodie , but then Chubb fell into his lap and the defensive philosophy seemingly became: the Orange Rush will dominate up front and make up for the secondary, but it doesn’t seem to be working. I think Von Miller and the edge rushers have looked okay, and Peko has definitely impressed but can they do more? I really haven’t seen the secondary enough to speak very intelligently on it. Run defense still very good. Their front 7 is strong. Bradley Chubb has really stood out, particularly against the run. He sets a hard edge and is showing good play strength & competitive toughness. Had a really nice inside stab and counter for a sack vs. Ronnie Stanley. His get-off isn’t elite so his pass-rush moves need to be really developed & he has to have multiple to become a better rusher, which should happen in time. I think he’s showing some improvement in that regard, but right now he’s stout vs. the run and that’s a big part the defensive success as a whole. 4th and inchesYou’re someone I definitely go to as a resource when it comes to draft time. I know it’s really early in that process for most, but have any prospects really jumped out at you? Anyone that Broncos fans should keep an eye on? I honestly have not watched any CFB this season except maybe a few highlights. I have seen a lot of Jonah Williams over the years and thought he was the best OT in the country in 2017 not being draft eligible. So I’m a huge fan of his game. New York Jets defensive coordinator Kacy Rodgers is dealing with what coach Todd Bowles calls a "serious" illness and it's uncertain if he'll be on the sideline for the game against Denver.Bowles made the announcement Friday to end his news conference after the Jets' final full practice before facing the Broncos at MetLife Stadium on Sunday."He's a tough guy," Bowles said. "It's a serious thing."Rodgers and the Jets' other coordinators usually meet with reporters every Thursday. But the team said Rodgers had an appointment with doctors and would speak Friday.However, a visibly concerned Bowles announced Rodgers was sick and wasn't at the facility."On a side note: Coach Rodgers couldn't do his interviews today because he is ill of a nature we can't discuss right now," Bowles said. "We'll see going forward where he is and go from there. He will not be here today Customized Denver Broncos Jerseys , and he was not at practice."Bowles, a close friend of Rodgers, wouldn't go into details about what is ailing the 49-year-old coach. Rodgers is in his fourth season as the Jets' defensive coordinator.The players were told of Rodgers' illness when the team met Friday morning."I want to let his family know that they are in my prayers and we will do our best to step up in his absence," safety Doug Middleton said. "We all wish the best for him and we hope that he can make a strong recovery."It's unclear who would handle the primary defensive play calls if Rodgers is unable to, though it could be Bowles and assistant head coach/linebackers coach Mike Caldwell."Everybody's going to go about the game the same way, whether he's there or if Coach Bowles takes over or whoever is taking over," cornerback Darryl Roberts said. "I feel like everybody's going to come out and play the same and just try to focus on executing and winning the game."Rodgers played linebacker and defensive end at the University of Tennessee before signing with the Pittsburgh Steelers as an undrafted free agent in 1992. He also played for Shreveport in the Canadian Football League in 1994 before beginning his coaching career as the defensive line coach at Tennessee-Martin in 1994. He also had stints at Northeast Louisiana, Middle Tennessee State and Arkansas before getting his first NFL job with Dallas as the Cowboys' defensive tackles coach in 2003.Bowles and Rodgers first worked together in Dallas two years later, when Bowles was hired as the Cowboys' secondary coach. The two coached again in Miami from 2008-11 before Bowles left the Dolphins to join Philadelphia's staff.When Bowles was hired by New York in 2015, he reached out to his buddy to run the Jets' defense.Rodgers got a thrill during the offseason and training camp by coaching his son www.authenticsdenverbroncos.com , Kacy II , a defensive back who was signed as a free agent. The younger Rodgers was among the Jets' final cuts last month before the regular season began, but the two cherished working together on a football field."I think this is the first time I've seen my Dad more than once or twice in a year just because of our schedules and jobs and things like that, so it'll be special because of the fact we'll be together," Rodgers II told The Associated Press in June. "I really can't tell you the last time it was, probably 10 years at least. It's been a while. Conflicts in schedules, so we're going to just take advantage and hang out and just enjoy it."
