Weird Out West

Did anyone notice that our old '80's nemesis, the Denver Broncos, just signed two more defensive linemen from the Browns? This is really weird.
Last year, the Broncos raised some eyebrows amongst the cognoscenti when they acquired Courtney "the Quiet Storm" Brown, Gerard "Big Money" Warren, Ebenezer Ekuban and Michael Meyers from the Browns. Brown and Warren were first-round busts. Ekuban and Meyers were competent role players. As a group, they did okay in Denver mainly because they were backed by three very good linebackers and a stud safety. Apparently, they did well enough for Denver to go to the well again. So far this off season, the Broncos have picked up Kenard Lang and Amon Gordon. That brings the total of ex-Browns defensive linemen to six in the Mile High City.

I guess it's easier to stop the run at a higher altitude, because they did a piss poor job of it on the lakefront.
