Or so the Denver Broncos defensive end thought. Dumervil frequently has to go through a hulking offensive tackle, with a tight end or a running back waiting for him should he break free. The second-year linebacker is off to a soaring start and is tied for the AFC lead in sacks with three. Dumervil and Miller teamed up last season to form Denver's vaunted "Doom & Gloom" pass-rushing duo. Given Miller's production, offenses may soon roll their protection toward Miller. "If I get there quicker, we wouldn't be having this talk," said Dumervil, a fourth-round pick in 2006 out of Louisville. Dumervil is going to get his sacks, defensive tackle Justin Bannan said. Defensive coordinator Jack Del Rio isn't concerned about his premier rusher. A lot of our guys on defense have started their year the right way. "All you can do is just play ball and overall become a better player," said Dumervil, who missed the 2010 season after tearing a chest muscle in camp, shortly after signing a $58 million contract. Broncos coach John Fox was animated at times when chatting with officials over calls in a 27-21 loss to Atlanta.
