made the strategic move to sign Malcolm Roach, it was a clear demonstration of their unwavering commitment to strengthening their run defense — a key area of concern from the previous season after the team finished 30th in the NFL. The Broncos' defensive line, in particular, was a challenge, with multiple players frequently on the ground, adding extra pressure on their running backs.
The Broncos can substitute them both on the field in apparent run-downs, pulling one off for Franklin-Myers, Allen, or a player at another position in obvious passing downs. It can help the unit stay fresh, which seemed another problem for the Broncos last year, especially with Jones. As the games continued, he appeared to lose some stem when watching back over the games.
Roach’s run defense grade was 72.5, while the highest-graded Bronco in this department was the aforementioned Allen at 66.6. Roach's 5.6 missed tackle percentage would’ve been the second lowest for the Broncos last year, behind Jonathan Harris, but he had three fewer total tackles while playing 93 fewer snaps against the run.
