It's a good sign when Broncos defensive coordinator Wade Phillips starts his weekly news conference praising a player without being prompted. Phillips has seen it all. Reporters' eyes quickly widened when he compared the intensity of inside linebacker Todd Davis to that of former all-pro linebacker Chris Spielman, who played for Phillips with the Buffalo Bills during the 1996 and 1997 seasons.*

Three Super Bowl titles. Only two White House visits. The history between the Denver Broncos and the President's digs may be brief, but there has been its share of drama.

Davis currently is the lead candidate to replace the departed Danny Trevathan – he signed with the Chicago Bears – at inside linebacker in the Broncos' 3-4 look. At 230 pounds, Davis isn't as big as the 247-pound Spielman was during his playing career, but Phillips, as well as several of Davis' teammates have lauded Davis' attention to detail and his drive to get it right during practice.
