By PAT GRAHAMAP Sports Writer ENGLEWOOD, Colo.(AP)&mdashThe Denver Broncos value D.J. Williams&rsquoversatility at linebacker even if at times it&rsquos vexing for him. This season, he&rsquoll be asked to relocate to one more newlinebacking spot, his fourth change in six seasons. But he&rsquos not grumbling since Williams feels like he justlanded a plum place. With Denver switching to a three-4formation, Williams will play within and away from the tightend. That frees him up to roam all around, react and wreak havoc. &ldquoI really like my position,&rdquo Williams explained Wednesday on Day 2 of theBroncos&rsquo passing camp. &ldquoI feel the position highlights whattype of player I am. It makes it possible for me to do what I do greatest http://www.officialchicagobearsfanshop.com/.&rdquo Given that he was drafted by Denver in 2004, Williams has bouncedaround from one particular linebacker spot to another, just depending onwhich defensive coordinator wanted him the place in their particularscheme. He&rsquos appreciated his time at middle and weakside linebacker,detested his stint at strongside. That&rsquos a single spot he by no means wantsto perform once more. Williams was moved to strongside linebacker in 2005 to make roomfor Ian Gold, and didn&rsquot have significantly fun. In that position,Williams came out on passing downs. &ldquoAs extended as I don&rsquot have to go back to Sam (strongside), theycan put me anywhere,&rdquo Williams explained. Under new defensive coordinator Mike Nolan, Williams will havemore flexibility to make reads. When asked to give an overviewof his duties, Williams grinned and explained, &ldquoGo to the ball andmake plays.&rdquo Sounds similar to what Nolan allowed Ray Lewis to do when Nolanwas in charge of the Baltimore Ravens&rsquo defense. &ldquoI&rsquom enjoying what it is so far,&rdquo Williams explained. And that&rsquos been all of 1 day. Williams wasn&rsquot cleared to participate in crew drills untilWednesday. He&rsquos been recuperating from offseason surgical treatment to fixhis right rotator cuff. &ldquoIt went pretty nicely http://www.officialchicagobearsfanshop.com/Jordan_Senn_Bears_Jersey/, nonetheless a small rusty,&rdquo he stated of hisfirst day back. Williams mentioned the shoulder injury truly didn&rsquot bother him muchduring the season http://www.officialchicagobearsfanshop.com/Eben_Britton_Bears_Jersey/. No, what bothered the Broncos co-captain was a partially tornMCL in his knee that sidelined him for five video games &ndash not tomention the disastrous perform of the defense. The Broncos finished at or close to the bottom in every majordefensive category, contributing to the team blowing athree-game lead with 3 to go and failing to make theplayoffs. That in the end led to the firing of Mike Shanahan, acoach Williams was sorry to see go. &ldquoHe&rsquos a excellent coach,&rdquo Williams mentioned. &ldquoHonestly, I put that onthe gamers much more than anything at all &hellip You can do all the coachingyou want, but the gamers nonetheless have to perform the game.&rdquo Williams realizes a dark cloud looms above a disappointingdefense that surrendered 448 factors last season. It&rsquos even guiltby association for newly signed cost-free agents this kind of as defensivebacks Renaldo Hill, Brian Dawkins, Andra Davis and AndreGoodman. &ldquoWe&rsquove got 10 or 12 guys that have chips on their shoulders thatweren&rsquot even right here (last year),&rdquo said Williams, who was theteam&rsquos second-major tackler in 2008. &ldquoThey just consider theburden of what we did last year on them.&rdquo Hill said the status of Denver&rsquos defense wasn&rsquot exactlyflattering, specially the perform of the secondary. &ldquoI was hearing it wasn&rsquot a very good year,&rdquo he stated. &ldquoA lot ofinjuries, a whole lot of deep balls going more than the head Lance Briggs Jersey. That&rsquos justthe perception I heard.&rdquo Now that he&rsquos right here, Hill has a various get. &ldquoWe must be the leading secondary in the league,&rdquo he said. &ldquoIdon&rsquot consider any individual is expecting something significantly less. That&rsquos how we&rsquoreapproaching it. We all hold every single other accountable and areexpecting to be that.&rdquo Broncos defensive lineman Kenny Peterson has already flipped thepage on last season, preferring to forget all about the previous. &ldquoYou can&rsquot be concerned about what the defense did final yr. This is anew era, a new coaching staff D.J. Williams Jersey, a new philosophy, a neweverything,&rdquo he stated. &ldquoPretty considerably what we did final 12 months is nulland void. You can&rsquot even count it. We have new faces, neweverything. New is the word of the day.&rdquo Williams definitely is aware of that as he&rsquos relocating to another newposition. So far, he likes the building of this defense. &ldquoWe had talent final 12 months, but since of injuries and thingslike that &ndash a perform right here, a perform there &ndash factors didn&rsquot go toowell,&rdquo Williams mentioned. &ldquoThis year, we see it as a chance to makethat up.&rdquo
