Honorable Mention Dud – Kayvon Webster
Filling in for the suspended Aqib Talib, Kayvon Webster again proved why Bradley Roby jumped him on the depth chart and why John Elway selected three corner/defensive backs in the 2015 draft.
Last week we pointed out that Webster was the most-penalized Broncos player, based on penalties per snap. Heading into Week 10, he had been flagged nearly 16 percent of the time he was on the field this year.
That number declined on Sunday, as he was on the field for 37 of Denver’s 71 defensive plays – but he was still flagged twice and beat by receivers repeatedly. His -2.9 pass coverage rating Sunday is the third-worst rating in that category by any Broncos player so far this year, according to Pro Football Focus.
The depth that Denver enjoys on defense does not extend outside the hash marks it seems, at least in the case of Webster.
