AI GeneratedThe video discusses the defensive struggles of the Denver Broncos, specifically focusing on linebacker Alex Singleton. Following a poor performance against the Chiefs, Singleton has become a focal point of criticism due to his missed tackles and poor pass coverage. The discussion covers the tension between critics and Singleton's agent, as well as the team's overall lack of depth at the linebacker position.
This has only gotten worse and now it's like okay
We know the main problem on the defense was tackling from you know
The chiefs game that the game that shall not be named at this point, but there is a player who is being
Particularly criticized to the point where his agent has now come out in defense this past week and it's gotten a little
Not out of hand. It hasn't gotten too bad
but the response there's been a lot of debate on just like
What the broncos should have done what they can do going forward all of that
So make sure to subscribe make sure to just tune in on all these updates
And uh, I mean i'm I mean this is also going to be factoring into what to expect from the jags game
If there's going to be any improvements and how they're going to attack us probably a similar game plan to what the chiefs did
Uh, because they have good coaching and they know that it's a copycat league. So with that being said, uh
I'm just gonna jump right into this because it's
It's a lot. It's a lot. So first things first
um the
The guy who you all saw in the thumbnail alex singleton. He was uh, he actually led the team in tackles monday night
Uh, not for any good reason the fact that just everyone else was missing them and he was also missing his own share as well
Um, so he led them with 16 tackles. That's a lot of tackles
Uh on monday, but his missed tackles and unreliable coverage cannot be overlooked
There's no obvious upgrade on the roster
So unless the broncos plan to bring in a new linebacker singleton will presumably continue starting
Uh fans in denver will hopefully uh will hope his performance picks up going forward, but there is no guarantee of that
and um, it's it's just
It's scary. It's it's honestly pretty uh
Yeah
Yeah, I I don't like the situation at all
um, so, uh
Everyone came and kind of just went at uh singleton online saying how much he sucks how much like he just he cannot cover
Um, you know he had the the one big play that comes to mind
Uh was the uh forced fumble in the playoff game. That was huge
don't get me wrong, but that is like a dime a dozen when it comes to like just
Or it is a
A flash in the pan I should say
Uh when it compares to like the rest of like just the bad plays he makes
Not being able to cover the middle of the field
Which is where a lot of teams are going to be starting to attacking us start start to attack us
Um on defense because that is just a clear
Sign a problem for for us and we have other players who have said that they've been in rooms where they are going to attack
49 like he is a guy that they're targeting
It's out in the open now that he is the wink like the weakest link on this defense by far
Uh, even though he's the one calling the shots and all that. It's just his play does not match his leadership off the field
um, but his agent, uh, paul, uh, she he she hi she
Said that the level of sheer ignorance of broncos bloggers and self-proclaimed journalists
Continue to amaze me and has never been higher
I get it rage baiting a passionate fan base gets clicks, but it doesn't take away from the ignorance or incompetence on display
That is crazy coming from an agent. Um
I just I mean he singleton got re-signed. I mean, I don't know why you're so angry
I mean like you like his agent you're he's gonna get paid regardless because of that deal. He helped get singleton
so it's like why is he just like
Just I mean, maybe they're just good friends and he's just really frustrated by it. Uh, zach koberman, uh,
Said that it's one thing to stand up for your client
It's another to dismiss any and all criticisms of your client as ignorance
especially when your client deserves said criticism the tape doesn't lie like
Yeah, if you watch just singleton
He is a liability when it comes to pass coverage people like he looks lost almost constantly
you're like dude, where what are you doing like during the the
The week to getting ready for the game. Clearly. There's no tape. You're just reacting and reacting badly
Compared to other nfl players
Um and coverman went on to say that as a self-proclaimed journalist i'll be less vague was singleton
The only problem on monday. No, are there new are these new issues with singleton?
Also, no heck of a guy will forever respect his story appreciate what he's given the team
But his limitations are years in the making and they are regressing faster and faster
Some of us have noticed should be uh, he be personally attacked. Of course not that's bs
Uh professionally speaking
However, it's perfectly valid to want the broncos to get better at linebacker and perfectly valid to discuss it on social media platform
Especially after what we all witnessed, uh this this whole time
I completely agree
I I think it's silly to dismiss criticism
and I think that
This just like it's it's not fair to singleton
It's not like singleton's the one coming on saying like ah, this criticism isn't warranted. Um, granted he
There is kind of an astounding lack of accountability when it comes from singleton
It seems like other people are having to take responsibility for him, which is not great
Uh, so vince joseph said, uh, there was a lack of block deconstruct destruction open field tackling angles
Those things obviously leaving camp you would think those things would be fixed and correctable
They are but it was too much on monday night. So many explosive plays
Uh so many explosive plays that came from missed tackles and just simply block destruction so we have to fix that
Uh, we've got to work on that and I think uh time on task and just practicing better that will get better
Disappointing obviously that we played that way in uh that part of our game
It wasn't a bunch of mental mistakes or blown coverages those things
It was just mostly fundamentals and for me as a coach that's disappointing
So vance is like listen, I gotta be you know
I gotta hammer home the the fundamentals more which is like I mean it's coach speak but at the same time
Yeah, tackling is a fundamental part of football
If you if the whole team all of a sudden is looking a little weak in that department
Uh, yeah that comes back to like listen, like we were focusing on the wrong things
Maybe we were focusing too much on tape and not enough on like being physical being you know
Hard-hitting getting back to what was making us so dominant on defense last year
So it's it's just one of these things that they have to kind of reevaluate how they were practicing
And get after it a little bit differently this time around because it's not going to get any easier
We we have the jags then we got the ramps, you know, it's it's and then I think the chargers like it's just it's just
Test after test after test you got to win something, you know
You can't go oh and three oh and four like your season's gonna be cooked before you you know it so
I gotta win and it's uh, you know home opener tim tebow will be there my guy
but uh
Yeah, the jags they're they're not looking to lose either
I mean, I know that they had a big win week one over the browns but like
They they're seeing the broncos as a test too despite what the the performance the broncos put on
Uh, joe mahoney from predominantly orange said that uh singleton is the captain on defense
You know the green dot which means he calls the plays and uh, he makes the the calls for defensive audibles
It is clear that none of justin
Uh reed nor turner is ready to handle that duty
The jags will most likely follow the script that the chiefs used to gash the broncos defense on monday a heavy dose
Of uh tootin, uh, who is that they're running back or I think receiver receiver running back
Who is decent at breaking tackles and chris rodriguez who was elite at breaking tackles?
so
I mean
In the broncos have to look over that tape
Over and over and over because the jags are probably going to be looking to do just the same thing
Uh, lou scattaglia
From predominantly orange said that with how good the defense is everywhere else
It's still a mystery as to why the front office has continually dropped the ball at the linebacker spot
Not only was the free agent class quite deep but the 2026 draft class featured a ton of awesome prospects as well
How did the broncos end up with none of them?
It does feel like for as much as general manager george payton's tenure
The overall evaluation of the inside linebacker room has been poor at best
Payton has largely been a very good gm for the team and as it's not hard to find
As it's not hard to find someone calling the broncos super bowl contender
but that doesn't mean he's perfect and this is probably the area where he is the
I whether it's just like loyalty to singleton. Uh, they're good friends, but it is hurting the team
Singleton is hurting the team because of his inability to you know cover to tackle
Well, I mean I get it 16 tackles and 16 tackles
but he also missed like four to five tackles like you're just this this cannot be
Something that you just shrug your shoulders at you have to take accountability if you want to be a uh,
You know a super bowl contender
This is the kind of play from a player that could break your team that could cost you a playoff game
That could cost you a super bowl
I mean, obviously we have a lot more problems to deal with before that even becomes an issue
But listen chenard's great. He's a good linebacker. Don't get me wrong
maybe above average at best but like
We don't have great inside linebackers
I think you know more than getting a great tight end because our tight end room is also kind of lacking
Get an inside linebacker who is elite, you know trade for someone. I do not care. But like it's just
It's becoming a little frustrating that they're like, ah, this is enough. We're fine
We have no depth at inside linebacker. In fact, our starters are like eh
like come on man, you can't you can't call yourself a contender and just shrug your shoulders at one of the most
Like a position that many will have as their leaders of their defense
So, uh, I don't know. What do you guys think? Am I overreacting? Is the press overreacting?
is the agent of of
Singleton overreacting like what what's your takeaways from all this shout in the comments down below and until next video i'll see you then
