hopefully we can get a pass rush going

and set the tone for the defense early! It looks like a lot of their defense is nicked up, so chad had better look for those holes in the defense

With Coach Zorro on our side, we will slice opponents to ribbons. Tim Tebow gives me hope and I already have faith and charity in my heart! I see a propitious future rife with Lombardis for our Broncos!
