Jurrell Casey says Von Miller and Bradley Chubb will make his job easy

Broncos defensive lineman Jurrell Casey totaled 51 sacks during his nine years with the Titans. In Denver, he will now team up with Von Miller and Bradley Chubb to give the Broncos three feared pass rushers.

Casey is an interior pass rusher and Miller and Chubb are outside edge defenders. If opposing teams focus on Miller and Chubb, it will make Casey’s job a lot easier.

“Those guys are amazing pass rushers,” Casey said during a conference call with reporters on March 19. “To see how those guys play, the effort that they give every game, the tenacity . . .  those guys are great. What else can a guy like me who loves the pass rush and getting after the quarterback ask for but have two great edge rushers who can collapse the pocket and make the job a lot easier for me where I don’t have to push a hundred guys backward and push them too far?

“They’re going to push the quarterback into the pocket and make the job easy. Nobody can complain about that right.”

In 2018, when all three players were healthy, Casey, Miller and Chubb combined to total 33.5 sacks. Denver fans would love to see that kind of production from the three defenders this season.
