Day 5 Broncos Training Camp Report: Defense Dominates, Offense Sputters | Orange & Blue Today

The Broncos defense came out swinging in Wednesday’s padded practice, and Mase & Cec break down every angle of a day where the defense flat‑out dominated. With Malcolm Roach anchoring the interior, Denver stuffed the run repeatedly, collapsing lanes and forcing the offense into long‑down situations. The defensive front controlled the tempo from the jump — and it showed. On the other side of the ball, Bo Nix and the passing game couldn’t get going. Timing was off, pressure was constant, and the offense never found rhythm. But context matters: Courtland Sutton had a rest day, and Jaylen Waddle left early with an injury, leaving Nix without his top two weapons. So… is this a real concern for the Broncos offense, or much ado about nothing given the missing firepower. Mase & Cec dig into the tape, the tempo, the personnel, and what this practice truly means for Denver’s trajectory. 🔥 In this episode: How the defense dominated padded practice from start to finish Why Malcolm Roach is transforming the run defense What Bo Nix’s rough day does — and doesn’t — mean How missing Sutton and Waddle changes the evaluation Whether the offensive struggles are a real concern or just context‑driven noise Drop your Broncos take — is the offense in trouble, or was this just a defense‑heavy day without their top weapons.
