He has 14 years of coaching experience in the NFL, 12 on the defensive side of the ball.In addition, the Cardinals announced the hiring of Bill Davis, who has considerable experience as a defensive coordinator, as linebackers coach and said Jeff Rodgers will return as special teams coordinator.Joseph has just one season’s experience as a defensive coordinator, in 2016 with Miami. His Dolphins ranked 29th in total defense (out of 32 teams) and 18th in points allowed.Still, he was pursued by more than one NFL team looking for a defensive coordinator following his dismissal by Denver.Joseph, 49, ran a 3-4 defense, the scheme that Keim said he wanted to return to because it best fit the Cardinals’ personnel. Arizona ran a 3-4 defense for Bruce Arians’ five seasons as head coach but switched to a 4-3 last year for Steve Wilks’ one season with the Cardinals.Joseph was fired after going 11-21 in two seasons as head coach in Denver.The Broncos had the No. 3 defense in the NFL in 2017 but slipped to 22nd last year.Joseph coached defensive backs for San Francisco (2006-10), Houston (2011-13) and Cincinnati (2014-15) before his one season in Miami, where he helped the Dolphins make the postseason and positioned himself for the Broncos head coaching job.Davis returns to Arizona, where he was defensive coordinator under Ken Whisenhunt in 2009-10 and linebackers coach in 2007-08. He was part of the Arizona staff during the Cardinals’ surprise run to the Super Bowl following the 2008 season.He spent the last two seasons as linebackers coach for Ohio State after serving as defensive coordinator of the Philadelphia Eagles for three seasons (2013-15). Davis also has NFL assistant coaching experience with Carolina, Cleveland, Green Bay, Atlanta, the New York Giants and San Francisco, where he was the 49ers‘ defensive coordinator in 2005-06 before coming to Arizona.Rodgers, an 18-year coaching veteran, came to Arizona with Wilks. Under his tutelage, punter Andy Lee was among the league’s best and undrafted rookie Zeke Turner led the NFL with 13 ½ solo special teams tackles. The Cardinals also recovered a blocked punt for a touchdown in their season finale against Seattle.Joseph was out of town but could meet with the media when he returns next week. Good morning Todd Davis Jersey , Broncos Country!I was born and raised to do two things: Love the Denver Broncos and hate the Oakland Raiders. It’s in that refrain a recent trend bothers the bejesus out of me — members of the fan base and media actually say this rivalry doesn’t matter anymore. I went on an epic rant about this on the latest MHR Radio Podcast.The Raiders are the rival for the Broncos, and that always will be the case. Make no mistake, I have serious disdain for the Kansas City Chiefs, but it will never match the hatred I have for the shit franchise in silver and black. For those who say this rivalry doesn’t matter anymore, you should have to tell that to former Broncos linebacker Tom Jackson and see his reaction. What would help breathe life back into this rivalry, at least from an organizational stand point, is to have Jackson speak to the team at training camp or before that season’s first Raiders game to tell the players and coaches why this rivalry matters. Why it’s so important to beat the Raiders. I think that kind of crash-course from the Broncos Ring of Famer would help the fans too. I was always told personal anecdotes are great for stories like this, so here’s one. Adam Malnati and I were running late to the Sept. 22, 2003, Monday Night Football game at then-Invesco Field at Mile High. Our tickets were in the South Stands, and as we were making our way up the ramp to our seats, a Raiders fan was waving a flag in our faces and screaming like a douche. I shoved him to the ground while a cop looked on just behind the said fan. The cop walked over to ensure nothing else happened, and the fan went on his way. The cop smiled at me and said, “I would have done the same thing, just don’t do it again.” What made the night even better is the Broncos won 31-10.I could have saved myself a lot of words by just saying I hate the Raiders, and they always will be the Broncos’ biggest rival.The MHR Radio Podcast is now on iTunes, Google Play, Spotify, Acast, Stitcher, TuneIn and a few other podcast hosts.
