Denver Broncos: “The Fearsome Foursome” of pass rushers
Bradley Chubb’s addition allows the Denver Broncos to use a plethora of pass rushers to be a menace to quarterbacks, making the defense unstoppable…
The elite athleticism of Bradley Chubb makes him a nightmare to stop for offensive tackles. The Los Angeles Chargers’ pairing of Melvin Ingram and Joey Bosa is the Batman/Robin group the Denver Broncos now envision with Chubb and superstar Von Miller.
Miller’s presence alone draws the majority of attention pre-snap, but two monsters are near impossible to thwart.
Chubb’s array of pass rush moves allow him to sack quarterbacks without a problem. However, run defense is a special part of Chubb’s game that goes unnoticed. Miller is the same way changing a game one defensive play at a time.

Two premier pass rushers are the norm in the NFL. But two elite level run defenders as outside linebackers or edge rushers is unheard of in the league.
The sacks will come for the Denver Broncos first round pick but also gives the team flexibility to rotate an incredible amount of depth at pass rusher.
DeMarcus Ware’s time with the Broncos allowed others behind him to tee off on quarterbacks with fresh legs. Shaquil Barrett showed his relentlessness, instantly becoming a fan favorite.
Undrafted free agent Jeff Holland plans to factor in due to Shane Ray’s elongated recovery this offseason. Like Barrett, Holland’s motor does not have an off switch. Holland is not a guarantee to make the roster; however, this is a great time for him to take full advantage.
Sacks are great, but the constant pain for quarterbacks is felt over a course of a game. In fact, pressures and hits on them will ultimately open the door for more sacks.

With Miller, Chubb, Barrett, and Holland the opportunities are endless. This ‘Fearsome Foursome’ will create plenty of ‘deer in the headlights’ looks once a quarterback hikes the football.
We are a few weeks away from Training Camp and there will be nicknames thrown around as they become earned.
Hopefully the nickname the “Fearsome Foursome” catches on enough that it becomes a household name.
