Who is defense leader?

[bobdevine]

Which player is the leader on defense? Peyton Manning clearly commands the offense.

Dawkins was an emotional leader on defense but he's retired.

Champ is still a great player but he's a quiet leader. Elvis and Von get headlines but neither seem to be running the defense.

Which player do the other players turn to? Maybe the lack of a locker room leader reveals how the defense plays.

That mantle is rapidly passing to Von. His actions on the field speak volumes. Much more so than locker room speeches.

This is why I desperately want Te'o. He would do more than fill this role.

I do agree that T'eo would bring the presence and leadership this team has lacked, quite honestly, since Al Wilson. However, I think that Denver has too many weaknesses in the trenches to go with a Mike. I also think that T'eo is going in the top15. IMO he is very similar to Patrick Willis. I wouldn't be upset with a T'eo pick but i would go elsewhere

Te'o has no shot of being available when we pick unless he tests awful and falls or we go 8-8 and pick around #12.
