Last season the Denver Broncos defense struggled against the run in the first four weeks of the 2019 regular season.

Both Davis and Johnson led the team in tackles with Davis at first with 136 tackles, and Johnson contributing 96 tackles. In our Projecting Depth Series, we analyze the inside linebacker position and discuss the starters and the backups behind them.
