Quote: Excellent thoughts!

Even with John Elway at QB, it's nothing short of amazing that the Broncos made it to the Super Bowl 3 times in 4 seasons in the late 1980's. IMO, Broncos Defensive Coordinator Joe Collier got more out of his talent than practically any coach ever did. The Broncos certainly were undersized and out-manned and it caught up to them in the 3 Super Bowls. But prior to that during those seasons, Collier did it with mirrors to get to those Super Bowls. Elway himself could only do so much. The Defensive talent and scheme had flaws but good coaching can go a very long way.

Interesting that Belichick credits Collier with teaching him the 3-4. I remember reading an article years ago where Collier indicated the 3-4 was size dependent, and that it couldn't work without a stud at DT. (I've been trying to find it for a while. I will post when I can find it) Greg Kragen had a pretty good career for himself, but it's amazing they got as far as they did with him at NT and Rulon Jones at DE.

Compounding Denver's size issues is that they weren't an especially fast defense, either, as evidenced in those three 1980s Super Bowls.

Worst to 1st. Curse Reversed!
