This offseason the Denver Broncos lost a treasure chest of experience when Wade Phillips took the defensive coordinator job for the Los Angeles Rams.
Joe Woods is taking over for Phillips this season and has a hard task of meeting the same (high) expectations. Many fans wonder if Woods’ lack of experience as a coordinator may hinder the Broncos elite defense.
It’s a fair question to ask.
Phillips has over 41 total years of coaching experience while Woods has 25. In football, 25 years is a lot, but the questions most analysts are asking revolve around quick, in-game adjustments.
