Elway wants balanced Broncos

What bothered John Elway last year was the Broncos' imbalance, which was exposed in a big way at the Super Bowl.

Denver's patchwork defense was an inadequate accompaniment to Peyton Manning's record-breaking offense, and the Broncos' high-flying passing game didn't get quite enough help on the ground.

So, the Broncos general manager spent the offseason beefing up his offensive line and adding an edge to his defense with free agent thumpers DeMarcus Ware, TJ Ward and Aqib Talib, along with first-round draft pick Bradley Roby.
