Broncos’ defense enters camp with renewed focus, a little “sugar”

Broncos head coach Vance Joseph likes his buzzwords. The team’s auditorium at its Dove Valley headquarters is littered with them. “TRUTH,” in blue capital letters, is sprawled across the back wall.

But it was “juice” that the Broncos were missing offensively in 2016 and what Joseph is on a mission to regain in 2017.

And “sugar” is what the Broncos’ defense added this offseason, despite the losses of coordinator Wade Phillips and linebacker DeMarcus Ware.

“I don’t want to come in and change the fingerprints or the foundation of our defense,” said Joe Woods, the team’s former defensive backs coach who was elevated to defensive coordinator.
