‘The defense needs for Von Miller and Greg Rousseau to have strong seasons. If you told me Miller would get 12 sacks and Rousseau would get 10, I’d feel good about their chances to win the AFC East again. I’m convinced safety is going to be worse than last season and a persistent problem. I think Cole Bishop will be ready to be an asset next season. But it’s a lot to ask a rookie to excel at that position. The injury to Matt Milano takes a lot of play-making out of the defense. That puts even more of a priority on Miller, Rousseau and the pass rush to be very good. One area I think will be improved is run defense. DaQuan Jones is excellent, and the interior backups (Austin Johnson and DeWayne Carter) are an improvement over last season.’
