"Fight for VINCE" #48 "MONSTERS Inside QBs" Edition...Yes the MAN-EATERS or D-LINE chasing the Money or the Sunday Signal-Caller like its nobody's business...Who has the EDGE? #SEAvsDEN #SuperBowl48 #TGIBF #ORANGEcrush

Al the talk for Super Bowl 48 has been Manning Mile High's Legacy, Sherm's Infamous Rant, Beast Mode talking Town Business (East Bay Stand Up!), and Ducks and not the "Duck Dynasty". We always as NFL Heads are caught up in "Glamour and Glitz" and we forget about the Boys upfront on the Defensive Line who can turn a Game or an Offense in a Single Bound into "Superbad".

Super Bowl 48 has moved to the Defensive Side of the Wilson Pigskin and its all business. The Broncos have made it clear that that so called sup-par "D" that gave up a whopping 48 to Romo and the Cowboys is no longer inn existence. The Seahawks on the other hand revolve around the "Legion of Boom" when  its starts up front with the "Puget Sound Bullies" of Avril, Mebane, Clemons, and Bennett to name a few. That is not the "Nascar Package" but its certified and verified Red Jersey Collectors (Sack Men).

Blue Friday was all that during the Regular Season as they were #1 in Total Yards Allowed, Pass Defense, Turnovers, and Point Allowed. That has changed a bit in Winning Time as they have given up 358.5 Yards to the Broncos 289.5. They also have only Three Sacks compared to the Broncos Six Sacks but had 44 during the Regular Season compared to the Bronco 41 sacks.  Bennett (8.5 Sck), Avril (8 Sck), Clemons (4.5 Sck), and McDonald (5.5 Sck) are "Monsters Inside QBs" and its not just getting home to Manning Mile High its the Hurries and Pressures getting him off balance. That Broncos O-Line has its work cutout led by All-Pro OG Louis Vasquez #65 in your Broncos Program.

The Broncos have done an excellent job in the Post Season as the "Meeting of the Broncos Defensive Minds" Jack Del Rio and John Fox have definitely tightened that Broncos "D" up looking like the 2014 Orange Crush. Broncos are #1 against the Run in Winning Time with a 64.5 yards per and that is stout. Seahawks in turn are giving up 134.5 yards per and Moreno with manning and the Play-Action...something has to give for both. Both though have lockdown in the Red Zone just giving up 16 ppg. Ex-Bolts DE/OLB Shaun Phillip has filled in admirably for OLB Von Miller and he is one to watch with 10 Red Jersey Collection in the Regular Season as is DT Sylvester Williams.

Edge: SEAHAWKS as its the Pass Rush as that Broncos "D" though is playing at a High Clearance Level 5. It's the Pass Rush aka the "Puget Sound Bullies" up front getting after Manning Mile High in this one.
