Defense's legacy won't be made by individual honors
The Broncos D probably deserved more plaudits in the All-Pro voting. But it wants much more: it wants to be remembered. And that only happens with a Super Bowl win.
Do you remember the defense of the 2000 Tennessee Titans? How about the 2003 Dallas Cowboys? What about the 1991 Philadelphia Eagles -- or the 1981 Eagles, for that matter? The 1999 Buffalo Bills? The 1979 Tampa Bay Buccaneers? The 1989, 1975 or 1970 Minnesota Vikings? Or the 1987 San Francisco 49ers?ENGLEWOOD, Colo. --
If you weren't a player, coach or a fan of those teams, you probably don't recall how great those units were. (Defensive Line Coach Bill Kollar will be happy to extol the ample virtues of the '79 Bucs to you.)
