Denver Broncos Defensive Coordinator Vance Joseph leverages double-mug alignments to condense protections and force the running back into interior A-gap responsibility. By squeezing the interior with double-mug presentations and dropping into eight-man coverages, the Broncos eliminate “chip” help and isolate heavy offensive tackles against elite edge speed. Discover how Vance Joseph's 58% Blitz Rate out of double mug creates high-efficiency pass rush lanes for Nik Bonitto and Jonathon Cooper.
