Former Broncos’ cornerback Ray Crockett made an obvious but not oft-talked about point about what Russell Wilson brings to the Broncos’ defense.
That’s right. The defense.
“When I’ve seen defenses that have a quarterback like that,” Crockett started, pointing to his time playing on a Broncos squad with John Elway at QB or against the Cowboys under Troy Aikman or Rams under Kurt Warner, the defense could play fast and loose.
Cue the 2015 Broncos please.
Because the common denominator, Crockett noted on Broncos Country Tonight, was a franchise QB who could dig the team out of an unplanned deficit.
