The Colorado Rapids are an intriguing team, one that could be a dark horse out of the Western Conference. The main reason for this is because the Rapids have the potential to be a good team defensively.
The Rapids have been impressive defensively on the road, with two shutouts (a tie and a win this past weekend) to pace the team to a 1-1-1 start to the MLS season. This past weekend, the defense was solid in a 1-0 win at the Vancouver Whitecaps.
