you have to factor in the other guys on the line to understand Shelbys success in denver, when he was unsuccessful on other teams.

Having blue chip pass rushers like Von and Ray, a dominant nose in Peko, and the mere existence of the NFZ, the situation Shelby is playing in for denver is much different than his previous teams.

There is enough talent on all other areas of the Denver D that cause Shelby to shine that are absent in his previous jobs.  When teams worry about the OLBs, the defensive line is usually in one on one battles.  Thats why denvers defense is so stifling.  Look at Pot Roast and Malik.  Havent heard much about their talent since they left the broncos.  Still miss them, but they went to weaker teams.

Now Shelby has all the attributes that make him successful for Denver, and the deep nature of the talent Elway has grabbed is paying serious dividends.

go broncos.
