What I like about this situation is, John fox is back in the building at the right time to help Champ get back on the right track. By the end of the regular season champ will be competing at a high level again.

I can only hope Champ's health allows him to play at that level for the playoffs. He deserves the chance and the Bronco defense needs his experience in the playoffs. Imagine DRC on one side and a healthy Champ on the other. It will give Del Rio the ability to cover the underneath routes, spy a running QB or amp up the pass rush.
I would love to see Champ get a key playoff interception (Superbowl!) and retire with the Lombardi trophy in hand.

Champ played in 30 out of the 73 plays on defense. He didn't play horrible when he was in, but he also didn't play great. It might take him a couple more games to get him into form.
I think he still has enough in him to do a good job this year. Don't expect him to reach the form he was a few years ago.
As far as the 10-11 million he is due for next year? Obviously, Elway will need to work out a renegotiated contract to bring that down.

I'm not worried about Champ. He only gave up a few short passes, and each time he was draped over the defender, they were just able to use good body position to snatch the ball in. They did target him, but it's natural to be a bit rusty plus competing against the best athletes in the world. There's really no useful sample size of targets to gauge how he looks, and it took Von several games to get back in form. The concern is the ankle not his age for me, he performed at a high level last year. As long as he can continue to be healthy, I think Champ-DRC-Harris (slot) is one of the best trios in the league, with Jammer and Webster behind them for rotation/depth.
