Coach of the Year
How phenomenal a job is Wade Phillips doing with this Denver defense? His unit is so dominant, so special, that he stole a Coach of the Year nomination despite not being a head coach. Dave Dameshek had to say about his “rogue” nomination:
Yes, I realize he’s not a head coach. Rules are made to be broken. Bruce Arians is, at worst, the second-best head coach right now, but Bum’s son deserves a tip of the ten-gallon hat for transforming the same pieces on the DEN D from very good to downright terrifying.
Take that Bill Belichick!
Takeaways
The real takeaways from all these honors? Chris Harris still isn’t getting the respect he deserves as one of the best cover corners in the league and Wade Phillips is going to need a lot more hard candy to pass out to this defense.
