Ebenezer Ekuban - Denver Broncos Player Bio
2008-06-05 22:12:00 Name: Ebenezer Ekuban Height, Weight: 6′4″, 275 Position: Defensive End Age, Experience: 10, 32 College: North Carolina Ebenezer Ekuban joined the Denver Broncos via a trade with Cleveland in 2005, and, when healthy, has been an extremely effective player for the club. In 2005 and 2006, Ekuban only missed one game, tallying 119 tackles and 11 sacks. During a 2007 preseason game, Ekuban tore the Achilles tendon in his right heel, forcing him onto Injured Reserve and ending his season. The Good: 2006 was Ekuban’s best career year, and the best performance by anyone on the D-line that year. In hindsight, it isn’t surprising the defense struggled so much last season. The Broncos’ strongest defenders against the run were all lost before or during 2007 due to injury - Ekuban’s heel, Al Wilson’s neck, and John Lynch’s neck. With Ekuban’s return, expect the defense to get a boost up front. The Bad: With Ekuban’s... More About: Player
Football is Won in the Trenches - How do the Broncos Measure Up?
2008-06-05 18:25:00 Today, CBS Sportsline has a couple of articles ranking the 32 NFL franchises’ offensive and defensive lines. This is something I’m interested in more than any other comparison any of these national media sites can do - it’s the exact reason why a talented Denver Broncos team failed to deliver in 2007. The top of each article features a graph showing 5 years of sacks and sacks allowed by every NFL team. From 2002 to 2007, only 4 teams (the Packers, Colts, Patriots, and Chargers) have allowed fewer sacks than the Broncos. The defensive line is another story - the Broncos are just below the middle of the pack when it comes to 5 years of DL-attributed sacks. OFFENSE: Denver Broncos Rank 19 out of 32 Best player: LG Ben Hamilton. Weak link: The right tackle spot. The skinny: The Broncos line, which has been a strong point in recent years, wasn’t so good last season. That’s why Denver picked Ryan Clady in the first round. He will start at left tackle. The ...
