Broncos name new Defensive Coordinator

I forgot to mention it last week, but I wanted to give my take on it. The Broncos named Don Martindale their new Defensive Coordinator. Martindale was on the Bronco staff last year as their Linebackers Coach. He previously spent the past few seasons as the Linebackers coach for the Oakland Raiders. Martindale was viewed as a up and coming coach in the NFL. He was actually considered for the Head Coaching job in Oakland in the wake of the Lane Kiffin firing. The players love Martindale and a lot of the big names on the defense (Champ, Dumervil, DJ, and Dawkins) all endorsed Martindale. I think it is a good fit, and I like the move by the Broncos. I think it is important to continue to build some sort of stability in the staff and the organization. Josh McDaniels said that Martindale will keep the same system, and the Broncos will continue to be aggressive in nature on the defensive side of the ball. I like it, and I'm glad that the Broncos kept the move in house, and I look forward to seeing what Martindale can do with our defense.
