Replacing Aqib Talib will have ripple effect on Broncos' defense
ENGLEWOOD, Colo. -- Scan any proposed depth chart of the Denver Broncos' defense and the biggest question mark measures just over 6 feet tall and goes about 205 pounds.
Because, as the Broncos continue training camp and prepare for their first preseason game Satuday, no matter how their defense lines up, cornerback Aqib Talib won’t be in it. Talib, who was named to four Pro Bowls in his four seasons with the Broncos, was the team's most noteworthy exit of the offseason when he was traded to the Los Angeles Rams.
“It means we’re younger,” said Broncos safety Darian Stewart. “We’ve got young guys who are going to play. [Talib] made plays; we have to find a way to make some of those plays now.’’
