Appearing on The Jim Rome Show on Monday, new Broncos defensive lineman Jurrell Casey spoke about how excited he is about getting the chance to play with Denver edge defenders Von Miller and Bradley Chubb.
“Unlimited opportunities to hit the quarterback at your will,” Casey said when asked by Rome what he thinks about when picturing himself in the Broncos’ defense. “That’s what I think about — when you’ve got guys that can rush off the edge [and] push the quarterback into the pocket [and] can pull away double teams, man, you’ve got to be in heaven.
“That’s all I keep thinking about, is just the amount of opportunities I will have one-on-one to get a chance to bury and quarterback and put ’em in the dirt. That’s all been racing through my mind.”
NFL teams won’t be able to double-team all three of Miller, Chubb and Casey, which means the defense should have no trouble generating pressure this season. Casey will look to add to his total of 51 career sacks this fall.
