What's the BLUEPRINT for VJ's Broncos Defense To Get More Turnovers? | Orange & Blue Today

Our Orange & Blue Today position previews take a big‑picture turn — looking at what Vance Joseph’s defense must do to become the best unit in the NFL. They were already a top‑5 defense last season, but VJ is pushing for more in 2026… and he’s made the goal crystal clear: turnovers. The question is how Denver gets there. Vance Joseph has preached all offseason about increasing takeaways — more interceptions, more forced fumbles, more chaos. But what does that actually look like on the field. How does a top‑5 defense take the next step and become No. 1. To get more interceptions, Denver needs tighter spacing, better route anticipation, and more pressure‑driven throws. Young players like Jonah Elliss, Troy Franklin, and Talanoa Hufanga all play roles in creating those turnover windows. To force more fumbles, the Broncos must lean into their physical identity — attacking the ball, finishing low, and swarming runners with multiple tacklers. VJ wants violence at the point of contact, and this roster is built for it. This defense is already great. The path to becoming the best in the NFL is about finishing plays, stealing possessions, and turning pressure into production. 🔥 In this episode: How VJ’s turnover obsession can elevate Denver to No. 1 What the defense must do to generate more interceptions How they can force more fumbles with technique and aggression Why a top‑5 unit still has room to grow in 2026 Which players must spark the turnover surge Drop your take — can Denver become the NFL’s best defense if they hit VJ’s turnover goals.
