I mean, yeah, that was one of the 5 best defenses in NFL history. But this 2021 pass defense isn't that far off. We're much deeper at corner and safety (Simmons and KJack >>>>> Stewart and TJ Ward too) and our interior pass rush is better than the one that 2015 team had. The Broncos are expecting double digit sacks and a Pro Bowl appearance out of Dre'Mont Jones this year.
The run defense won't be nearly as good as the 2015 D was. You couldn't run on that team. The scheme didn't really allow you to and Wolfe and Malik were exceptional run defenders. Wolfe was the best in the league at it. But Shelby is a better all around player than Wolfe was and Dre'Mont should be a better rusher than Malik Jackson was.
