Denver Broncos counting on young defensive linemen Sunday

The Denver Broncos are in desperate need of some help on the defensive line with Derek Wolfe out at least a few weeks and Vance Walker already out for the year.

They made moves this offseason to snag Jared Crick, who has at times been a very solid player for the Broncos, but he needs to be in a rotation. Billy Winn has also made some plays when called upon, but the Broncos’ run defense — even with Derek Wolfe — has been awful of late.

They are going to rely on the young guys they have drafted in recent years to come in and make an impact, particularly this year’s second round draft pick Adam Gotsis out of Georgia Tech.
