Broncos Defensive Coordinator Vance Joseph Confident Rookie Cornerback Riley Moss Will Excel
Riley Moss is gaining recognition in his rookie season with the Broncos. Despite some challenging moments, Broncos Defensive Coordinator Vance Joseph remains optimistic about the cornerback’s future. Moss has impressed with his aggressive style, even though it occasionally leads to errors, like the one against Philadelphia’s DeVonta Smith.
Moss’s Competitive Edge
Joseph notes Moss’s competitive nature as a standout trait. However, this can sometimes result in him deviating from the game plan. Joseph aims to guide Moss in utilizing his talents within structured defensive calls, helping him improve each week.
Strategic Matchups
- This week, Broncos face the New York Jets.
- Pat Surtain II likely to mark star receiver Garrett Wilson.
- Moss may be tasked with handling former Bronco Josh Reynolds.
The Jets’ rookie tight end, Mason Taylor, also poses a threat with 20 catches for 175 yards, providing opportunities to test Moss’s adaptability.
Preparation in England
Denver arrives in England for their clash against the Jets at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. The scenario mirrors last year’s successful prep in West Virginia before a narrow victory over the Jets.
Injury Concerns
The Broncos might miss Jonah Elliss, who missed practice two days in a row. If he can’t play, rookie Que Robinson could see his first NFL game time after impressive practice performances.
Despite the Jets’ 0-5 record, quarterback Bo Nix emphasizes the game’s challenges, dismissing the idea of underestimating the opponent.
