Bly thriving as team’s top cornerback

Posted Dec 21, 2008
As the competition has grown tougher and the pressure has intensified, Dre Bly seems to have gotten better. When the Denver Broncos lost top cornerback Champ Bailey to a groin injury Oct.?20, Bly was called upon to fill that role. The coaches didn't have any other options. Karl Paymah has been yanked in and out of the lineup. (Colorado Springs Gazette)
