Orange and Blue Today

The Broncos’ practice squad is set, and there’s already plenty to unpack. Rookie ILB Red Murdock made the squad — a win for a developmental player whose instincts, urgency, and tackling ability give Denver a real long‑term project at the position. His growth now becomes a season‑long storyline. But the surprise came at tight end: rookie Justin Joly chose to sign with the Miami Dolphins instead of staying in Denver. So did the Broncos make a mistake not pushing harder to keep both Joly and fellow rookie Dallen Bentley. Bentley’s size, blocking ability, and red‑zone potential may offer more upside than originally thought — and Denver’s confidence in him clearly shaped how the TE room was built. Now the question becomes whether the Broncos truly assembled the best 53‑man roster and practice squad for a team with playoff — and Super Bowl — expectations. The mix of veterans, rookies, and developmental pieces suggests a long‑view approach, but the margins matter. 🔥 In this episode: Red Murdock’s developmental path on the practice squad Why Justin Joly chose Miami — and what it means for Denver Dallen Bentley’s rising upside in the TE room Did the Broncos nail their 53‑man roster and PS decisions How these moves shape the team heading into Week 1 Drop your Broncos take — did Denver keep the right guys, and which practice‑squad player has the best chance to make an impact this season.

The Broncos must trim the roster to 53 players this weekend, and with one preseason game left — Friday night against the Vikings — it’s officially bubble‑watch season in Denver. This is the week where fringe players have to play their way onto the roster, and several names stand out. Depth receivers, rotational defenders, and young specialists all have one last shot to prove they belong. And then there’s the trade angle: would Denver showcase Jaleel McLaughlin or Sam Ehlinger to spark interest around the league. It’s absolutely in play. Sean Payton and George Paton will be watching every snap — effort, consistency, and assignment‑sound football matter more than ever in the preseason finale. 🔥 In this episode: Which bubble players must shine vs. the Vikings Who’s fighting for the final roster spots Could Jaleel McLaughlin or Sam Ehlinger be showcased for a trade How the Broncos approach cut‑down weekend Why Friday is make‑or‑break for multiple depth pieces Drop your Broncos take — which bubble player do YOU think earns a roster spot, and who’s most likely to be moved before cut‑downs.

Bo Nix will NOT play in the Broncos’ final preseason game, and that tells you everything about where Sean Payton’s confidence is. He’s seen enough — the franchise QB is ready for Week 1, healthy, sharp, and locked in. So the question becomes: how many other starters should sit. After a physical camp and two preseason games, Payton may choose to protect most of his core players, especially with the regular‑season opener just around the corner. Expect a lighter workload for key veterans and a showcase opportunity for depth pieces fighting for roster spots. The Broncos also released Taylor Rapp due to a personal matter, but there’s a strong chance he returns once things settle. It’s a pause, not a goodbye. One more preseason game… then it’s time. The Broncos are gearing up to make a real run at Super Bowl 61, and this week is all about tightening the final bolts before the season kicks off. 🔥 In this episode: Why Bo Nix is sitting out the finale Which starters should rest vs. the Vikings Taylor Rapp’s release and potential return Final roster battles before Week 1 Why expectations are sky‑high for 2026 Drop your Broncos take — which starters should sit Friday, and who needs one last big preseason performance to lock in their role.

Vance Joseph didn’t sugarcoat anything — he ripped his defense for their lack of effort against the Packers, saying the first‑team unit came out lazy and unengaged. That kind of message, delivered publicly, always sends shockwaves through a locker room. So what happens now. Expect a more demanding week, sharper standards, and a real possibility that more defensive starters see action in the preseason finale. Joseph wants urgency, discipline, and physicality — and he may decide the best way to get it is by putting his top guys on the field Friday night. This week becomes a test of pride, response, and leadership for a defense that knows it didn’t meet expectations. 🔥 In this episode: Why Vance Joseph blasted his defense after the Packers game How the first‑team unit responds to being called out Whether more starters will play vs. the Vikings What this means for the Broncos’ defensive identity The tone of a critical final week of preseason Drop your Broncos take — how should VJ handle the finale, and which defensive starter do YOU want to see out there on Friday.

The Broncos were back at work on Monday, and the tone was unmistakable — Sean Payton was not happy with how his team got beat down by the Packers on Friday. The urgency kicked up, the intensity rose, and this week suddenly feels like a recalibration moment heading into the final preseason game. The big question: how does Payton plan this week. Expect sharper practices, cleaner execution demands, and a focus on correcting the mental mistakes that showed up against Green Bay. This isn’t a “just get through preseason” week — it’s a response week. And with the Vikings coming to town Friday, will the starters play more than originally planned. It’s on the table. Payton wants rhythm, he wants timing, and he wants his top guys to show they can execute under pressure. That means Bo Nix could see extended work, and Jaylen Waddle may be part of that push to sharpen the offense. This is the last chance to tune up before the real thing — and Payton is treating it that way. 🔥 In this episode: How Sean Payton resets the team after the Packers loss Why starters may play more vs. the Vikings Bo Nix’s potential workload in the final preseason game What this week tells us about the team’s mindset Drop your Broncos take — how much do YOU want to see the starters on Friday, and which player needs a big final preseason showing.

Bo Nix is finally set to take the field — his first game action since the ankle injury in last year’s Divisional Round — and the Broncos’ second preseason game against the Packers suddenly feels a whole lot bigger. So what should fans expect from the third‑year QB. A controlled script, quick rhythm throws, and a chance to show the command he’s displayed all camp. The snap count won’t be huge, but it should be meaningful — enough to knock off rust and give Denver its first real look at how the offense operates with Nix at the controls. And yes, Jaylen Waddle is expected to be out there too. When Nix and Waddle share the field, the spacing, tempo, and explosiveness instantly change. This could be our first glimpse of just how high‑powered this offense might be once the regular season arrives. Rookie RB Jonah Coleman will also be under the microscope after a fantastic debut. Can he stack performances. Can he push for a real role. Denver wants to see consistency, physicality, and continued confidence. It’s a preseason game — but it’s also a preview of what this offense could become. 🔥 In this episode: Bo Nix’s long‑awaited return and realistic expectations Projected snap count for the Broncos’ franchise QB Jaylen Waddle’s impact if he suits up Jonah Coleman’s next step after a breakout debut Whether we finally see the offense’s true ceiling Drop your Broncos take — what do YOU want to see from Nix’s debut, and which player has the best chance to steal the show against Green Bay.

Jaylen Waddle was back out there making plays for Bo Nix, and the offense had juice — but Wednesday’s practice turned into one of the chippiest sessions of camp. The defense kept stacking wins, the offense refused to back down, and Nix himself was mixing it up in the scrums, showing the competitive edge coaches love. The Broncos defense won the day, flying around, creating pressure, and setting the tone physically. But the offense didn’t fold — they fought back, literally and figuratively, with Waddle sparking plays and Nix showing leadership in the middle of the chaos. It was intense. It was emotional. It was exactly what a team building its identity needs. 🔥 In this episode: Jaylen Waddle back making plays for Bo Nix Defense wins another day — and gets chippy doing it Bo Nix mixing it up, showing fire and leadership Offense fights back despite the defensive surge Why this kind of practice matters for a young roster Drop your Broncos take — what does this kind of fire tell you about the 2026 team, and who stood out most in the chaos.

The Broncos were back on the field after their preseason win over the Falcons, and Monday’s practice had a clear theme: prep for preseason game No. 2 — and the return of some major firepower. It was great to see Jaylen Waddle back out there. His presence instantly changes spacing, tempo, and how the defense reacts. Even in limited work, the offense looks different with him on the field. And yes — Bo Nix should make his preseason debut against the Packers. He’s been sharp in camp, fully practicing, and showing command. What should fans expect. Timing, rhythm throws, quick decisions, and a controlled script designed to get him comfortable without unnecessary risk. Rookie RB Jonah Coleman was amazing against the Falcons — physical, explosive, confident. So what more do the Broncos need to see. Pass protection consistency, continued ball security, and proof he can handle situational work. If he checks those boxes, his role could grow fast. This week is about sharpening the offense, reintegrating key starters, and building on a strong preseason opener. 🔥 In this episode: Jaylen Waddle returns to practice Bo Nix set for his preseason debut Jonah Coleman’s next steps after a breakout performance How the offense evolves with starters back What to watch for vs. the Packers Drop your Broncos take — what do YOU want to see from Nix, and how big should Coleman’s role be in preseason game No. 2.

Cecil Lammey is LIVE breaking down the Broncos’ first preseason game of 2026 — and Denver didn’t just win, they beat up on the Falcons in a performance loaded with encouraging signs on both sides of the ball. Jarrett Stidham played exactly how a QB2 should: calm, decisive, and in command. He kept the offense on schedule, made smart throws, and showed why he’s the best backup option behind Bo Nix. Rookie RB Jonah Coleman continues to live up to the hype. Physical runs, burst through contact, and a presence that feels bigger every week — Coleman looks ready for real work this fall. The defense? They’re going to get more turnovers in 2026, and tonight was proof. Pressure, disruption, and opportunistic playmaking all showed up — including a huge play from Jahdae Barron that flipped momentum and showcased his instincts. This was a preseason opener loaded with clues about what Denver is building. 🔥 In this episode: Stidham’s strong performance as QB2 Jonah Coleman flashing again under the lights Why the Broncos defense will generate more turnovers Jahdae Barron’s impact play More notes from a dominant preseason win Drop your Broncos take — who impressed you most, and which performance tonight changes your expectations for 2026.

Bo Nix has been ruled out of Friday’s preseason opener against the Falcons, and while some fans might feel a little disappointed, this is exactly what the Broncos expected — and exactly what they planned. Nix is coming back from ankle surgery, but he’s been fully practicing, looking sharp, and showing command of the offense. The team simply isn’t willing to risk their franchise quarterback in a preseason game that doesn’t matter. This is about protection, not concern. So how many starters won’t play Friday? Quite a few. Sean Payton is clearly prioritizing health over reps, and several key players — including Nix — will be held out to ensure they’re ready for joint practices and the regular season. 🔥 In this episode: Why Bo Nix sitting is smart, not alarming Bo Nix has looked good in camp despite the ankle recovery How many starters are expected to sit Friday Sean Payton’s preseason philosophy: protect the core What fans should watch for vs. Atlanta Drop your Broncos take — are you good with Nix sitting, or do you want to see him get preseason reps.

Day 10 brought full‑speed, full‑pad energy to Broncos training camp, and Sean Payton clearly used Monday to prep his team for preseason tempo. The result: a crisp, competitive practice with standout performances on both sides of the ball — and a few players continuing their summer surge. Pat Bryant looked good again, stacking plays and proving he’s not just the WR3 — he’s one of the most consistent performers on the entire offense. His daily reliability is becoming a core part of this passing game. Rookie RB Jonah Coleman ripped off another big play, showing the burst and finishing power that keeps earning him more reps. Pads on, physical practice, and he still pops. Jaleel McLaughlin is turning heads too — sudden, slippery, and explosive. Every day he reminds the staff he deserves touches. On defense, Que Robinson created tons of pressure. His speed off the edge is becoming a real problem for tackles, and he’s stacking disruptive reps like a player pushing for a major role. And a notable development: the 2nd‑ and 3rd‑team offense looked better. Cleaner execution, better rhythm, and more confidence — exactly what Payton wants as preseason approaches. 🔥 In this episode: Pat Bryant continues his camp breakout Jonah Coleman delivers another explosive play Jaleel McLaughlin keeps turning heads Que Robinson generates relentless pressure 2nd & 3rd‑team offense showing real improvement Payton sharpening the team for preseason action Drop your Broncos take — which young playmaker is rising fastest, and who’s earning real snaps once preseason kicks off.

Full pads went on Monday, and the Broncos defense owned the day. With the offense focused heavily on the run game, there simply wasn’t much room to work — a clear win for a front seven that keeps stacking strong practices. JK Dobbins did get banged up, but Sean Payton says it’s not a serious soft‑tissue injury. Still, anytime your lead back comes up gimpy, it’s worth monitoring. The young RBs? They showed up again — in very different ways: RJ Harvey looked good in space, slipping through creases and showing the burst that makes him dangerous outside. Jonah Coleman delivered the best runs of the day, hammering inside with power and balance. Pads on, and the rookie keeps proving he’s built for this. It was a physical practice, a defensive win, and another day where the young backs flashed their identities. 🔥 In this episode: Defense dominates full‑pad practice JK Dobbins injury update — not serious RJ Harvey shines in space Jonah Coleman delivers the best runs of the day Run‑game focus leads to a tough day for the offense Drop your Broncos take — is this defense truly ascending, and how big of a role will Coleman and Harvey carve out this season.

Saturday’s team scrimmage brought real football energy — pads popping, tempo elevated, and the offense and defense battling for control. So… who came out on top? It was competitive, tight, and exactly what you want from a roster trying to climb. The young running backs stood out in different ways: RJ Harvey flashing outside with burst, angles, and space‑game juice. Jonah Coleman pounding inside with balance, toughness, and finishing power. Two backs, two styles — both winning reps. Pat Bryant is clearly the No. 3 wide receiver. Every day he stacks plays, moves the chains, and looks like a trusted option in the middle of the field. His rise is no longer a storyline — it’s a reality. And the defense? A surplus of pass rushers. Waves of pressure, multiple guys flashing, and a front that looks deeper than it has in years. When the pads come on, this group shows up. 🔥 In this episode: Offense vs. defense — who won the scrimmage RJ Harvey’s outside burst & Jonah Coleman’s inside power Pat Bryant cementing himself as the WR3 Defense showing off a deep, disruptive pass‑rush rotation More camp notes from a high‑energy Saturday Drop your Broncos take — which young RB are you buying, and is Pat Bryant becoming a legit breakout candidate.

After two straight days of the defense owning camp, the Broncos offense struck back on Friday — and it wasn’t subtle. The energy flipped, the execution tightened, and several key playmakers stepped up when it mattered. Bo Nix looked sharp at the end of practice, stacking completions and showing the rhythm that had been missing earlier in the week. When the offense needed a spark, Nix delivered. Pat Bryant continues to dominate. Physical routes, strong hands, chain‑moving consistency — he’s becoming one of the most reliable players on the field, period. Evan Engram made multiple big plays, including a touchdown that fired up the entire offense. His versatility is showing up daily. And it was good to see Courtland Sutton helping move the chains**, working the intermediate areas and giving Nix a steady veteran presence. After two defensive wins, Friday belonged to the offense — and it felt like a statement. 🔥 In this episode: Bo Nix finishes practice strong and in command Pat Bryant continues his camp takeover Evan Engram stacks big plays, including a TD Courtland Sutton helps steady the offense Offense responds after two straight defensive wins Drop your Broncos take — is this the start of the offense finding its groove, or just a one‑day surge.

The Broncos defense keeps stacking wins at training camp, and it’s officially a trend. With Riley Moss making plays every single day — breaking up passes, triggering downhill, and showing the confidence of a DB who knows it’s a contract year — the defense has now won multiple practices in a row. The question becomes: how high is Moss’ ceiling in 2026. Meanwhile, the offense is still searching for rhythm. Bo Nix bounced back a bit, showing better timing and command, but without Jaylen Waddle the passing game simply doesn’t look the same. The spacing, the explosiveness, the stress on the defense — it all changes when Waddle isn’t out there, and the offense is feeling that absence. It’s early‑camp tension at its finest: defense ahead of offense, a young QB adjusting, and a breakout DB stealing the spotlight. 🔥 In this episode: Riley Moss continues to shine in a contract year Broncos defense wins multiple days in a row Bo Nix shows signs of improvement Jaylen Waddle absence changes the offense’s identity Drop your Broncos take — is the defense truly ascending, and how much should fans worry about the offense until Waddle returns.

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.

Day 4 of Broncos Training Camp brought pads, tempo, and a whole lot of debate — and on Orange & Blue Today, Cecil breaks down whether the defense actually dominated Tuesday’s practice… or if the late surge just made it feel that way. Early in team drills, the wide receivers owned the day. Jaylen Waddle made plays against Pat Surtain, showing elite separation and contested‑catch strength. Marvin Mims ripped off another long touchdown — stacking explosive plays like it’s his new routine. Troy Franklin added a deep touchdown of his own, flashing the vertical juice that made him a draft steal. And Pat Bryant kept moving the chains with physical routes and reliable hands. But the ground game… JK Dobbins and the RB group were largely shut down. Was it poor execution — or did the defense finally clamp down and control the trenches. Late in practice, the defense surged: tighter coverage, better fits, more disruption. Cecil breaks down whether that late push means the defense actually dominated the day… or if the offense still won the majority of reps. 🔥 In this episode: An update on Nik Bonitto's injury Did the defense truly dominate Day 4 — or just finish strong Waddle vs. Surtain: the heavyweight matchup delivers again Mims and Franklin stack long touchdowns in team drills Pat Bryant continues his rise as a chain‑mover Why the run game stalled — and how much credit the defense deserves If you’re riding with us through camp, hit LIKE, SUBSCRIBE, and drop your Day 4 take — did the defense really dominate.

Day 3 of Broncos Training Camp brought a lighter workload — but the first day in pads always reveals who’s ready for real football, and on Orange & Blue Today, Cecil breaks down everything that popped on Monday. The standout of the day was Pat Bryant, who continues stacking strong practices. Physical routes, confident finishes, and a presence that keeps showing up whenever pads come on. Cecil explains why Bryant’s rise matters in a suddenly crowded WR room. On defense, Riley Moss made plays all over the field — sticky coverage, quick reactions, and a level of confidence that suggests he’s ready to push for a bigger role in 2026. And at quarterback, Bo Nix continues to run the offense cleanly. Efficient operation, strong command, and no wasted movement. Even on a lighter day, his consistency stood out. Pads are on. Competition is rising. And the real evaluations begin this week. 🔥 In this episode: Why Pat Bryant keeps flashing whenever pads come on How Riley Moss is making a push in the secondary Bo Nix’s continued clean operation of the offense What a lighter Day 3 tells us before intensity ramps up If you’re rolling with us through camp, hit LIKE, SUBSCRIBE, and drop your Day 3 standout — who impressed you most.

It’s a special OBT After Dark as Cecil and Mase break down Day 2 of Broncos Training Camp — a session packed with competition, standout performances, and a few storylines that could reshape the depth chart before preseason even begins. Bo Nix had an up‑and‑down day — sharp when the timing was clean, shaky when the defense disguised looks. It’s part of the learning curve, and Cecil and Mase explain why Saturday’s swings matter for his early development. The backup QB battle is officially heating up. Sam Ehlinger stacked another strong practice, showing command and decisiveness. Can he push Jarrett Stidham for the No. 2 job. The guys break down how real this competition is — and why the coaches are watching it closely. And then there’s the wildcard: The Broncos’ interest in Taysom Hill. What role would he play. Why now. And how would his arrival impact the QB room, special teams, and offensive packages. Cecil and Mase dig into the ripple effects of a potential Hill addition. Day 2 delivered intensity, competition, and clarity — even at backup quarterback — and OBT After Dark has every angle covered. 🔥 In this episode: Bo Nix’s up‑and‑down Saturday performance Ehlinger vs. Stidham — how real is the QB2 battle What Taysom Hill interest says about the Broncos’ plans Who stood out across offense, defense, and special teams If you’re riding with us through camp, hit LIKE, SUBSCRIBE, and drop your take on the QB2 battle — who’s winning it so far.

Day 1 of Broncos Training Camp kicked off Wednesday — and on Orange & Blue Today, Cecil and Mase break down everything they saw from the first practice of 2026. No fans yet, but the tempo was high, the changes were obvious, and the storylines were already popping. The offense looked different immediately. Davis Webb has stamped his identity all over this unit — more pre‑snap motion, more disguise, more stress on the defense before the ball is snapped. It’s a clear evolution from last year’s structure. Jaylen Waddle flashed superstar juice with multiple big plays, showing exactly why Denver made the blockbuster trade. But the player of the day — the guy who stole the show — was Marvin Mims. Sharper routes. Cleaner breaks. Trademark speed. Mims looked like a man on a mission to go from “almost forgotten” to the Broncos’ No. 3 WR behind Waddle and Courtland Sutton. Cecil and Mase break down how real this breakout looks — and whether he can sustain it all camp long. And then… the moment everyone needed: JK Dobbins gave a pinky promise that he’ll stay healthy for all 17 games — something he’s never done in his career. It was lighthearted, funny, and exactly the kind of confidence Broncos fans want to hear from their RB1 as camp opens. Day 1 delivered motion, explosiveness, breakout energy, and a pinky‑swear from the starting running back. Camp is officially underway. 🔥 In this episode: Why Davis Webb’s offense already looks different How Waddle flashed superstar playmaking on Day 1 Why Marvin Mims was the clear standout of camp’s opening practice Whether Mims can truly climb to WR3 — and stay there JK Dobbins’ pinky promise to stay healthy all 17 games If you want, I can also craft a thumbnail line, a cold open, or a social promo for this episode.

On Thursday’s Orange & Blue Today, Cecil Lammey goes solo to break down one of the spiciest quotes of camp so far — Sean Payton comparing Bo Nix to Drew Brees. How apt is the comparison. What does Payton really mean. And how can Nix grow into the traits that made Brees a Hall of Famer — accuracy, timing, processing, and relentless consistency. Cecil digs into the mechanics, the mindset, and the developmental path that could make the comparison more than just praise — but a legitimate roadmap for Nix’s rise. Meanwhile, Day 2 of the acclimation period delivered a highlight: Jaylen Waddle went full superstar mode with a one‑handed red‑zone snag that lit up practice. Cecil breaks down why Waddle’s explosiveness and catch radius are already transforming the offense before camp even officially opens on Friday. This episode blends quarterback truth, wide‑receiver fireworks, and the early signs of what the Broncos offense could become in 2026. 🔥 In this episode: How real is the Bo Nix–Drew Brees comparison What traits Nix must sharpen to mirror Brees’ Hall of Fame path Why Waddle’s one‑handed TD grab matters for the offense’s identity Early vibes from Day 2 of acclimation before camp opens Friday Drop your take — is the Brees comp fair, or is Nix carving his own lane.

Training camp opened on Wednesday — no fans yet, but full football energy — and on Orange & Blue Today, Andrew Mason joins Cecil to break down his 3 biggest observations from Day 1. First, the headliner: Bo Nix looked good. Comfortable. Confident. In command. Mase details how Nix handled timing, decision‑making, and rhythm in the first practice of camp — and why his early sharpness matters for the offense’s fast start. Next, a red‑zone standout: Pat Bryant did work inside the 20. Strong routes, physical finishes, and a connection with Nix that popped immediately. Mase explains why Bryant’s red‑zone presence could be one of the sneaky camp storylines to watch. And finally, the vibe check: Sean Payton was in a great mood. Engaged, energized, and fully locked in as camp kicked off. Mase breaks down how Payton’s tone set the pace for practice — and what it signals about the mindset of a team chasing unfinished business. Camp is officially underway, and Mase has everything you need to know from Day 1. 🔥 In this episode: How Bo Nix looked in the first practice of camp Why Pat Bryant’s red‑zone work stood out What Sean Payton’s energy says about the team’s direction How the Broncos kicked off camp behind closed doors Drop your take — who impressed you most from Day 1 of Broncos camp.

It’s a fresh Tuesday at training camp, and on Orange & Blue Today, Mase and Cecil break down the brand‑new Broncos facility — the building that symbolizes a new era, a new standard, and a new mission for 2026. Players reported for camp and walked into a completely transformed environment: A new building, a new locker room, a new training facility, and a new direction for a team that came one game short of the Super Bowl last season. Mase was on site, taking in every detail — from the layout to the energy to the way players reacted to their upgraded home. And everywhere you look, one message stands out: GTD — Go The Distance. It’s on the shirts. It’s on the walls. It’s in the mindset. This team knows exactly how close they were last year… and exactly how far they intend to go now. Cecil and Mase dig into how the new facility impacts preparation, culture, recovery, and performance — and whether this GTD mentality can push the Broncos over the top in 2026. 🔥 In this episode: What Mase saw inside the Broncos’ brand‑new facility How the new locker room and training spaces elevate performance Why “GTD” is more than a slogan — it’s the mission How close the Broncos are to finishing the job they started Whether this new direction helps them finally go the distance Drop your take — can the Broncos GTD this season.

Our Orange & Blue Today position previews conclude with a deep dive into the Broncos running backs, a room loaded with talent, versatility, and major 2026 expectations. JK Dobbins is the starter and the clear lead back — explosive, efficient, and the centerpiece of the run game. But how much more playing time does RJ Harvey get this year. Harvey scored 12 touchdowns as a rookie, proving he’s more than just a change‑of‑pace option. What does he do for an encore in Year 2. Does he push for a bigger slice of the workload. Then there’s Jonah Coleman — the talented rookie who can be relied on as a full‑time back if Dobbins gets hurt again. Coleman’s power, balance, and vision make him one of the most important insurance policies on the roster. This RB room is deep, dynamic, and absolutely central to the Broncos’ offensive identity in 2026. 🔥 In this episode: Why Dobbins remains the unquestioned RB1 How Harvey builds on a 12‑TD rookie season Why Coleman is a plug‑and‑play starter if needed How Davis Webb’s offense maximizes all three backs What the rotation could look like once camp begins Drop your take — who leads the Broncos in touchdowns this season.

It’s a solo Thursday edition of Orange & Blue Today, and Cecil Lammey is breaking down the 5 SMARTEST moves of the Broncos offseason — the decisions that didn’t just improve the roster… they built a legitimate Super Bowl blueprint for 2026. First, the blockbuster: Trading for Jaylen Waddle and a 2026 4th. Denver gave up a 1st, 3rd, and 4th — but landed a superstar WR1 who changes spacing, changes coverages, and changes the entire math of the offense. This is the kind of move contenders make. Then the retention moves that matter: Re‑signing JK Dobbins (2 years, $20M) keeps the run game explosive and stable. Re‑signing Justin Strnad (3 years, $18M) locks in one of the most underrated defenders in the league — a leader, communicator, and turnover creator. The draft brought juice too: Selecting Jonah Coleman gives Denver a plug‑and‑play back who can carry the load if needed and add real pop behind Dobbins and Harvey. And finally, the organizational foundation: Extensions for George Paton and Sean Payton stabilize the franchise, align the long‑term vision, and ensure the Broncos aren’t just building for 2026 — they’re building a multi‑year window. These five moves weren’t random. They were intentional. Strategic. Championship‑minded. And Cecil breaks down exactly why they matter. 🔥 In this episode: Why the Waddle trade is a Super Bowl‑level swing How Dobbins’ deal keeps the offense balanced and dangerous Why Strnad’s extension is quietly elite roster building How Jonah Coleman strengthens the RB room instantly Why Paton & Payton extensions create a real championship window Drop your take — which move was the smartest, and which one pushes Denver closest to a Super Bowl.

Our Orange & Blue Today position previews roll into Wednesday with a deep dive into the Broncos offensive tackles, a group that’s strong right now but full of long‑term questions. Garett Bolles remains a franchise left tackle — durable, athletic, and still playing at a high level. But how much longer can he maintain that standard. With age and contract realities looming, Mase and Cecil break down what Bolles’ future looks like and how the Broncos prepare for life after him. That leads directly to Frank Crum, the developmental monster with size, movement skills, and real upside. The big question: Is Crum the future at left tackle… or right tackle. His traits fit both spots, and Wednesday’s show digs into where he projects best — and how soon he might be ready. On the right side, Mike McGlinchey continues to be outstanding — powerful in the run game, steady in pass protection, and a veteran leader. But like Bolles, he’s a seasoned vet, and the Broncos must start thinking about the future at RT as well. This tackle group is strong today, but the long‑term picture is where things get fascinating. 🔥 In this episode: How much longer Bolles can play at a high level Whether Frank Crum is the future at LT or RT What McGlinchey’s veteran status means for the RT timeline How the Broncos plan succession at both tackle spots Why the OT room is critical to Bo Nix’s 2026 ceiling Drop your take — who’s the Broncos’ long‑term answer at tackle.

Our Orange & Blue Today position previews continue — and Monday’s show is all about the Broncos EDGE rushers, the group Vance Joseph is counting on to fuel the defense’s push for more turnovers in 2026. Nik Bonitto has already become one of the NFL’s most dangerous pure pass rushers — bend, burst, and finishing ability. But can he take the next step and turn pressures into more strip‑sacks. With VJ demanding more takeaways, Bonitto is the player most capable of delivering them. Behind him, Que Robinson keeps flashing legit pass‑rush juice. The question is simple: How does Que get more playing time. His speed, leverage, and closing ability scream “more snaps,” and Monday’s show breaks down exactly how he forces his way into the rotation. And then there’s Jonah Elliss — the offseason standout who has been so good at EDGE that his time at ILB may shrink to almost nothing. Elliss is explosive, disciplined, and disruptive, and his role could expand fast once camp begins. This EDGE room is loaded with talent, upside, and turnover potential — exactly what Vance Joseph wants. 🔥 In this episode: Why Bonitto is primed for a strip‑sack breakout How Que Robinson earns more snaps in 2026 Why Jonah Elliss’ role at EDGE keeps growing How the EDGE group fuels VJ’s turnover obsession What the rotation could look like once camp begins Drop your take — who leads the Broncos in sacks this season.

Our Orange & Blue Today position previews continue — and today Mase and Cec break down one of the deepest, most fascinating groups on the roster: the Broncos cornerbacks. At the top sits Pat Surtain — arguably the best cornerback in the NFL. But with Vance Joseph hammering the message of more turnovers, can Surtain boost his interception total in 2026. He’s elite in coverage, but can he turn more of those shutdown reps into game‑changing takeaways. Across from him, Riley Moss enters a contract year. His improved play last season was undeniable — but if he continues that rise, does he earn a payday the Broncos may not be able to match. Moss’ 2026 season could reshape the future of the CB room. Then comes the mystery piece: Jahdae Barron. The 2025 first‑round pick has talent, versatility, and toughness — but what is his position. Is he a boundary corner who can push Moss. Or is he a slot defender. And if he’s a slot, can he realistically push JaQuan McMillian — one of the best nickel corners in the league. Or is Barron simply a gifted player who must wait behind three quality starters until a spot opens. Finally, Kris Abrams‑Draine enters the conversation as a developmental CB with intriguing long‑term upside. What does his future look like in a crowded room. This CB group is loaded with talent, layered with questions, and absolutely central to Vance Joseph’s turnover‑driven identity. 🔥 In this episode: Why Surtain could finally see an interception jump in 2026 How Moss’ contract year shapes the future of the CB room Whether Barron is a boundary corner, a slot defender, or a long‑term chess piece If McMillian’s elite slot play blocks Barron’s path to snaps What the Broncos envision for Kris Abrams‑Draine moving forward

It’s a special VERSUS edition of Orange & Blue Today, and Cecil Lammey goes solo to break down one of the most important camp battles on the entire roster: Troy Franklin vs. Pat Bryant for the Broncos’ No. 3 wide receiver job. Franklin enters Year 3 with a résumé full of mixed results — an early‑season surge in 2025 followed by a late‑season fade that left big questions about consistency, physicality, and trust. Can he stabilize his game and reclaim the momentum he flashed last fall. Bryant, meanwhile, is entering Year 2 with true “X” receiver upside — size, strength, and clutch‑catch ability that mirrors the role Courtland Sutton currently owns. The big question: Is Bryant more than just a waiting receiver behind Sutton. Could his frame, toughness, and reliability secure him the WR3 job outright. And with Davis Webb calling plays, the WR3 role changes dramatically. Targets will be spread among Evan Engram, RJ Harvey, and the top two receivers — Jaylen Waddle (superstar WR1) and Sutton (the consistent outside force). So who fits the offense better. Who earns the trust. Who wins the job. This battle is real. It’s close. And it might define the shape of Denver’s passing game in 2026. 🔥 In this episode: Why Franklin’s Year‑3 volatility makes this battle fascinating How Bryant’s “future X” traits could push him ahead What Davis Webb’s offense means for WR3 targets How Waddle and Sutton’s roles shape the competition Who truly fits the Broncos’ 2026 passing identity Drop your take — who wins the WR3 job: Franklin or Bryant.

Our Orange & Blue Today position previews continue — and today we hit the quarterbacks, the engine of the entire Broncos season. The headline is simple: Are we about to see Prime Bo Nix. Everything points to Bo Nix taking another leap in 2026. With Davis Webb calling plays, more tempo, more spacing, and more trust in Nix’s processing, this could be his best season yet. He’s already a franchise quarterback — the question now is whether he can climb into the top‑5 QBs in the NFL. Behind him, the battle gets spicy. Jarrett Stidham vs. Sam Ehlinger is one of the most important camp competitions on the roster. Stidham has experience and system familiarity, but Ehlinger has momentum — and reports suggest he could unseat Stidham as the backup if he keeps stacking strong practices. This QB room is stable at the top, competitive behind Nix, and absolutely critical to Denver’s 2026 ceiling. 🔥 In this episode: Is 2026 the year we see Prime Bo Nix How Davis Webb’s play-calling unlocks Nix’s next level Whether Nix can become a top‑5 NFL quarterback The full breakdown of Stidham vs. Ehlinger for QB2 What the QB room means for Denver’s playoff hopes Drop your take — is Bo Nix about to enter his prime, and who wins the QB2 battle.

Our Orange & Blue Today position previews continue — this time with a deep dive into the interior of the Broncos offensive line, a group that quietly determines how far the offense can go in 2026. At the center of it all is Quinn Meinerz — one of the best guards in football and the tone‑setter for Denver’s run game. The question now: Can Meinerz continue his All‑Pro dominance in 2026. His power, leverage, and consistency make him the anchor of the entire offense. Next to him, Ben Powers enters what might be his final season in Denver. Contract structure, cap realities, and roster planning all point toward 2026 being a crossroads year. Can he deliver one more strong campaign before the team potentially turns the page. And how does the Broncos IOL stack up against the rest of the league. With Meinerz leading the way, Powers still steady, and young depth developing behind them, Denver’s interior line is better than many realize — but still needs to prove it can be elite in pass protection and durable across a full season. This group is critical to Bo Nix’s Year Three jump, Davis Webb’s offensive rhythm, and the overall identity of the team. 🔥 In this episode: How Denver’s IOL compares to the rest of the NFL Why 2026 could be Ben Powers’ final season in orange & blue Whether Quinn Meinerz can sustain All‑Pro dominance What interior stability means for Bo Nix’s growth How the IOL shapes the Broncos’ offensive ceiling Drop your take — is Denver’s interior line good enough to carry this offense to the next level.

Our Orange & Blue Today position previews continue — and today we dive into one of the most intriguing rooms on the Broncos roster: the tight ends. With Evan Engram stepping into Davis Webb’s QB‑centric offense, the question becomes simple: Is Engram finally ready for a true breakout season. More motion, more spacing, more designed touches — everything points to Engram being unlocked in ways we haven’t seen yet. Behind him, Adam Trautman remains the steady, reliable glue guy. He’s the trusted blocker, the safety‑valve, the assignment‑sound veteran who keeps the offense on schedule. But the upside in this room comes from the youth movement. Rookie Justin Joly brings fluid athleticism, natural hands, and seam‑stretching ability that could make him one of the steals of the draft. And speaking of steals — did Denver quietly land another one in Dallen Bentley. His toughness, competitiveness, and developmental traits make him a name to watch all camp. This TE room has breakout potential, reliability, and sneaky depth — exactly what Webb’s offense needs. 🔥 In this episode: Why Engram could explode under Davis Webb’s playcalling How Trautman stabilizes the room with veteran consistency Why Justin Joly’s upside is real — and immediate Whether Dallen Bentley is the late‑round steal nobody is talking about How the TE room fits into Bo Nix’s Year Three jump If you’re fired up about this TE room, smash that LIKE button, drop your thoughts in the comments, and SUBSCRIBE for every Broncos position preview.

Our Orange & Blue Today position previews roll on — and today we dig into the Broncos inside linebackers, a room with proven veterans, rising talent, and one rookie who refuses to be overlooked. Alex Singleton remains the heartbeat of the defense, but how much does he have left in the tank. He’s still a tackling machine, still instinctive, still the communicator who keeps the front aligned — but can he maintain that level in 2026 as the mileage adds up. Justin Strnad has been one of Denver’s most underrated defenders. Have we already seen his best, or is there another jump coming now that he’s fully settled into Vance Joseph’s system. His speed and coverage ability remain critical to the ILB room. And then there’s rookie Red Murdock — the seventh‑round steal who keeps showing he’s more than just a developmental pick. Can he get on the field this year. His instincts, tackling, and special‑teams value give him a real shot to carve out snaps earlier than expected. With PJ Locke gone and the defense leaning heavily on communication and versatility, the ILB room’s performance will shape the entire unit. 🔥 In this episode: How much Singleton has left and what his 2026 role looks like Whether Strnad has another level to unlock If Red Murdock can force his way into real playing time How the ILB room fits into Vance Joseph’s turnover‑focused identity Why depth and development matter more than ever at linebacker Drop your take — which ILB surprises in camp and reshapes the rotation.

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.

Our Orange & Blue Today position previews continue — this time with a deep dive into the Broncos safeties, a group with star power up top and real questions behind the starters. Talanoa Hufanga was outstanding last season, flying around the field and setting the tone. But dropped interceptions were a problem — so can he turn those near‑misses into game‑changing turnovers in 2026. If he cleans that up, he becomes one of the league’s most dangerous ballhawks. Brandon Jones enters a contract year, and history says players in his situation often explode. Does he ball out of control and earn a new deal. His versatility and physicality make him a perfect fit for Vance Joseph’s turnover‑focused defense. Behind them, things get interesting. With PJ Locke gone, Denver must find out whether JL Skinner or Devon Key can provide starting‑quality play — the kind Locke delivered when called upon. Training camp and preseason will determine whether the Broncos have hidden gems… or a depth concern. 🔥 In this episode: Why Hufanga is primed for more interceptions in 2026 How Brandon Jones’ contract year could fuel a breakout Whether JL Skinner or Devon Key can replace PJ Locke’s reliability If safety depth is a real concern entering camp How the safety room fits into Vance Joseph’s turnover‑driven identity Drop your take — is Denver’s safety depth quietly strong, or a real question mark heading into camp.

On today’s Orange & Blue Today, Andrew Mason and Cecil Lammey break down Cecil’s full deep‑ball study: He watched every single Bo Nix throw over 20 yards from the 2025 season to get a true feel for how Denver’s QB has grown as a downfield passer. The film shows a very different story than the national narrative. Bo Nix has no problem throwing deep, even under pressure — he stands tall, keeps his base, and delivers with confidence. But what does he still need to work on. What does the tape reveal about his timing, ball placement, receiver chemistry, and how Sean Payton’s structure helped (and sometimes limited) the deep game. Cecil breaks down the hits, the misses, the near‑misses, and the throws that show Nix’s next level is already forming. 🔥 In this episode: What the film really shows about Nix’s deep‑ball growth Why pressure doesn’t faze him on downfield attempts What mechanical tweaks could boost his consistency How receiver separation and tracking impacted the results What Nix must refine to unlock even more explosive plays Drop your take — is Nix already a better deep passer than people think.

Our Orange & Blue Today position previews roll on — and today we spotlight the Broncos special teams, a unit with legitimate star power at all three phases. Will Lutz remains one of the league’s most reliable kickers. His consistency, range, and clutch production give Denver a scoring advantage few teams can match. If the offense stalls, Lutz still turns drives into points. Second‑year punter Jeremy Crawshaw had a fantastic rookie season — booming punts, elite hang time, and directional control that flipped fields all year. The question now: Is Crawshaw already one of the most dangerous punters in the NFL. All signs point to yes. And then there’s Marvin Mims — an All‑Pro returner who gives Denver a weapon most teams simply don’t have. His explosiveness changes games, shifts momentum, and forces opponents to rethink their coverage strategy. This special teams unit isn’t just solid — it’s a difference‑maker. 🔥 In this episode: Why Will Lutz remains one of the NFL’s best kickers How Jeremy Crawshaw could become a top‑tier punter in Year 2 Why Marvin Mims is a true All‑Pro weapon in the return game How special teams can swing close games for Denver in 2026 What the trio of Lutz, Crawshaw, and Mims means for field position and scoring Drop your take — is this the best special teams trio Denver has had in a decade.

It’s a solo Monday edition of Orange & Blue Today, and Cecil Lammey breaks down the 3 BIGGEST CHANGES for the Broncos as training camp opens — the shifts that define how different this team looks from the last time we saw them in the AFC Championship Game. The unfinished business from that loss — and the clear need for an offensive upgrade — led Denver to make a franchise‑shaking move: Trading for Jaylen Waddle. Waddle’s arrival instantly changes spacing, explosiveness, and how defenses must play the Broncos. Cecil explains why this move wasn’t just about adding talent — it was about raising the ceiling of the entire offense. Next, the biggest philosophical shift: Davis Webb takes over full‑time play‑calling duties from Sean Payton. What does Webb bring. How does the offense evolve. And why could this change make the Broncos better and more adaptable in 2026. Cecil breaks down the scheme tweaks, rhythm changes, and QB‑friendly elements Webb is expected to emphasize. And finally, the trenches: With John Franklin‑Meyers gone, the Broncos defensive line enters camp with new faces, new roles, and a new identity. Cecil dives into who steps up, how the rotation shifts, and what the front looks like without one of its most reliable disruptors. These aren’t small tweaks — they’re foundational changes that reshape the Broncos’ path toward finishing the job they left on the table last January. 🔥 In this episode: Why Waddle’s arrival transforms the offense instantly How Davis Webb’s play‑calling changes the Broncos’ identity What the defensive line looks like without Franklin‑Meyers Why these three changes matter most as camp opens Drop your take — which change impacts the Broncos the most as they chase unfinished business in 2026.

Our Orange & Blue Today position previews roll on — and today we dive into the Broncos wide receiver room, a group that suddenly looks like one of the most explosive in the AFC. The headline is obvious: Jaylen Waddle is here to take over. He’s the superstar WR1 Denver has been missing for years — the field‑tilter, the coverage‑dictator, the player who changes the geometry of the offense. Everything this passing game does flows through him. But that doesn’t mean Courtland Sutton is fading. In fact, Sutton might now be the league’s best No. 2 receiver — or more accurately, Denver’s 1A. He’s still a dominant red‑zone threat, still a chain‑mover, still a physical presence on the outside. Waddle elevates him, not replaces him. Then there’s the youth movement. Troy Franklin is developing quickly — smoother routes, better timing, more confidence. Pat Bryant brings size, toughness, and a contested‑catch profile that complements the room perfectly. Both players are pushing for real roles behind the top two stars. This WR room is deep, dangerous, and perfectly built for Bo Nix’s Year Three jump. 🔥 In this episode: Why Waddle is the superstar WR1 Denver needed to get over the top How Sutton thrives as the NFL’s best No. 2 — or Denver’s 1A What Franklin’s development means for the rotation Why Pat Bryant’s size and physicality matter in this offense How the WR room shapes Bo Nix’s 2026 ceiling Drop your take — is this the best WR room Denver has had since the Demaryius & Emmanuel era.

We kick off Orange & Blue Today’s position previews with the group that quietly drives the entire defense: the Broncos defensive line. And the headline is obvious — Zach Allen is playing like the best defensive tackle in football. His 2025 season was elite in every category: disruption, consistency, leadership, and versatility. So what does his encore look like. Can he push even further, or does his impact come from elevating everyone around him. The big question for 2026: How do the Broncos replace John Franklin‑Meyers. JFM was a tone‑setter, a power player, and a reliable pocket‑crusher. Without him, Denver needs a new interior bully — and that’s where rookie Tyler Onyedim enters the conversation. His power, leverage, and inside quickness give him a real chance to step into meaningful snaps early. And don’t forget SaVion Jones. The second‑year defender has flashed improved strength and hand usage, and he’s in the mix to take a big developmental jump. If he hits, Denver suddenly has a young, deep, ascending defensive line behind Allen. 🔥 In this episode: What Zach Allen’s “best DT in the league” encore could look like How Denver replaces John Franklin‑Meyers’ physical presence Why Tyler Onyedim could be the surprise rookie contributor up front Whether SaVion Jones is ready for a Year‑2 leap How the DL sets the tone for Vance Joseph’s turnover‑focused defense Drop your take — which young DL steps up next to Allen in 2026.

On today’s Orange & Blue Today, Andrew Mason and Cecil Lammey dive into ESPN’s Mike Clay projections for Broncos QB Bo Nix — now entering Year Three, not Year Two — and whether his production is set for a steady climb or a full‑on statistical eruption thanks to the arrival of superstar WR Jaylen Waddle. Clay’s model shows Nix trending upward again, but the big question is how much Waddle changes the math. Does Waddle’s elite separation and YAC ability push Nix past 4,000 passing yards. Does the improved spacing and tempo in Davis Webb’s offense help Nix crack 30 passing touchdowns for the first time in his career. Mase and Cecil break down what Clay projects, what Nix’s Year Three trajectory typically looks like for young quarterbacks, and how the structure of the offense could unlock either a controlled progression — or a true breakout season. 🔥 In this episode: What Mike Clay’s model says about Nix’s Year Three outlook Whether Waddle’s arrival triggers a statistical explosion If Nix can realistically hit 4,000 yards and 30+ TDs How Webb’s offense boosts efficiency, rhythm, and red‑zone production Why Year Three is often the defining season for young QBs Drop your take — is Nix headed for a steady Year Three climb, or a Waddle‑powered breakout.

On today’s Orange & Blue Today, Andrew Mason and Cecil Lammey break down Mike Clay’s projections for the Broncos’ pass rushers — not just the EDGE group, but the entire front: EDGE, defensive ends, and defensive tackles. After Denver set a franchise record for sacks in 2025, the big question is simple: Can they do it again, or does this defense evolve in a different direction. The fellas dive into how Clay sees sack production shaking out across the roster, including what the numbers say about Jonah Elliss, Baron Browning, Nik Bonitto, Zach Allen, and the interior group. If the sack total dips — which is normal after a record‑setting season — what does that mean for the defense as a whole. That’s where Vance Joseph’s turnover emphasis comes in. More strip attempts. More ball disruption. More chaos. Even if the sack number drops, could the Broncos actually become more dangerous by generating more strip‑sack‑fumbles and takeaways. 🔥 In this episode: How Clay projects sack production across EDGE, DE, and DT Whether Denver can realistically repeat its 2025 sack record What a dip in sacks would mean for VJ’s defense Why strip‑sack‑fumbles could rise even if total sacks fall Which pass rushers are poised to outperform projections Drop your take — is this defense built to chase sacks again, or built to chase turnovers in 2026.

On today’s Orange & Blue Today, Andrew Mason and Cecil Lammey break down Mike Clay’s projections for the Broncos’ wide receiver room — and what they tell us about Bo Nix, Jaylen Waddle, Courtland Sutton, and the rest of Denver’s passing attack in 2026. The big question: Does Bo Nix go over 4,000 yards passing — and if he does, what does that mean for Jaylen Waddle and Courtland Sutton. Clay’s numbers suggest both could push for 1,000 yards, with Waddle as the clear WR1 and Sutton operating as a “1A” who still dominates in the red zone. But does Waddle’s arrival change Sutton’s touchdown profile. Does Sutton still get the end‑zone love, or does Waddle’s speed and spacing shift the math. And if the top two receivers command so much volume, what does that mean for Troy Franklin, Pat Bryant, and Marvin Mims. Clay’s projections paint a clear picture of hierarchy, usage, and opportunity — and the fellas break down exactly what it means for the Broncos’ offense. 🔥 In this episode: Does Bo Nix hit 4,000 yards — and what that unlocks for the WR room Why Waddle is the WR1 and Sutton is the “1A” with red‑zone upside Whether Denver can realistically have two 1,000‑yard receivers How Waddle’s presence affects Sutton’s touchdown projection What Clay’s numbers say about Franklin, Bryant, and Mims’ roles Drop your take — can Nix support two 1,000‑yard WRs in 2026, or does the volume spread out too much.

On Monday’s Orange & Blue Today, Andrew Mason and Cecil Lammey break down what the Broncos defense showed us all offseason now that mandatory minicamp is in the books — and the themes were loud, consistent, and encouraging. The headline: Jonah Elliss was fantastic from the first OTA to the final minicamp rep. His burst, leverage, and nonstop motor weren’t one‑off flashes — they were a pattern. He looks like a real contributor in Year 1. But the bigger question for Vance Joseph’s unit is simple: Can this defense generate more turnovers. That’s been the emphasis all spring — more ball disruption, more strip attempts, more chaos. And with added speed at EDGE and ILB, the pieces are in place. Speaking of ILB — the Broncos might’ve found a draft‑weekend steal. Red Murdock showed instincts, range, and processing that jumped off the field. He’s already pushing for a role. This defense was already one of the league’s best. The offseason program showed signs it can get even better. 🔥 In this episode: Why Jonah Elliss was one of the biggest defensive winners of the offseason How VJ’s turnover emphasis showed up in practice Why Red Murdock looks like a sneaky draft steal Which defensive trends carried from OTAs into minicamp What this unit needs to sharpen before training camp Drop your take — which defender made the strongest impression heading into late July.

With mandatory minicamp wrapped and the offseason program officially in the books, Andrew Mason and Cecil Lammey break down what we truly learned about the Broncos offense — not the hype, not the guesses, but the consistent themes that showed up every single practice. The headline is obvious: Jaylen Waddle is that dude. Every session reinforced the same truth — he’s the centerpiece of the offense, the tone‑setter, the player defenses already have to account for. His speed, separation, and energy changed the feel of every rep. But he wasn’t alone. Jonah Coleman dazzled all spring with burst, balance, and natural instincts that make him look like a future RB1. Evan Engram looked more involved than ever, moving all over the formation and becoming a clear matchup piece in Davis Webb’s offense. And speaking of Webb — the offense itself looks different. More motion. More spacing. More rhythm. More opportunities for playmakers to get the ball on the move. 🔥 In this episode: Why Jaylen Waddle was the most consistent star of the entire offseason How Jonah Coleman proved he’s ready for a real role right away Why Evan Engram looks like a featured weapon, not a complementary one What Davis Webb’s offense actually looks like after a full spring install How these themes set the tone for training camp in late July Drop your take — which offensive storyline from the spring matters most heading into camp.

On today’s Orange & Blue Today, Andrew Mason and Cecil Lammey break down the biggest storyline from Wednesday’s mandatory minicamp: Bo Nix is stacking practices — and his work in 7‑on‑7 shows he’s on track for a full return at training camp. For the first time this offseason, Nix got extended reps in front of the media, and Mase saw several encouraging signs that point to real progress. His movement, his timing, and the way the ball came out all looked sharper than they did earlier in the spring. The confidence is returning, and so is the rhythm in Davis Webb’s offense. Mase also breaks down how Nix handled reads, how he synced up with receivers, and why his chemistry with Jaylen Waddle continues to grow. Nothing forced. Nothing hesitant. Just clean, efficient quarterbacking — exactly what you want to see in mid‑June. 🔥 In this episode: What Mase saw from Nix in 7‑on‑7 that signals real progress Why Nix looks on schedule — or ahead — for training camp How his timing and footwork have improved since early OTAs What the growing Nix–Waddle connection looked like today How the offense is settling into Webb’s structure and tempo Drop your take — did Nix look like a QB easing back in, or a QB ready to roll in late July.

On today’s Orange & Blue Today, Andrew Mason and Cecil Lammey break down our first real look at Bo Nix in front of the media this offseason as the Broncos opened mandatory minicamp — and the early signs were encouraging. Nix finally got live reps we could watch, and the fellas dive into how he moved, how the ball came out, and how comfortable he looked operating Davis Webb’s version of the offense. The timing, the rhythm, the footwork — all on display for the first time since his ankle procedure. And of course, the big storyline: What does Nix think of new superstar WR Jaylen Waddle — and how did their chemistry look on the field. From spacing to timing to trust throws, the early connection is already taking shape. Plus, how the offense itself looks different under Davis Webb — tempo, formations, motion, and how the structure is shifting to maximize Nix’s strengths. 🔥 In this episode: How Bo Nix looked in his first minicamp action in front of media What Nix said about working with Jaylen Waddle How the Nix–Waddle connection is already forming What’s new in Davis Webb’s offense — and what stood out today Why this minicamp matters for setting the tone before training camp Drop your take — did Nix look like a QB ready to take the next step in 2026.

On today’s Orange & Blue Today, Andrew Mason and Cecil Lammey lay out exactly what the Broncos must show at mandatory minicamp now that OTAs are in the books and the team enters its final work before the long summer break. The headline going into minicamp: the OTA stars — Jonah Elliss, Que Robinson, Evan Engram, Jonah Coleman, and Jaylen Waddle — have all flashed in big ways. Now the question becomes: Can they stack those performances when the tempo rises, the installs deepen, and the entire roster is required to be on the field. Mase and Cecil break down what needs to continue, what needs to improve, and which players have the most to gain — or lose — in this final week before the team disappears until late July’s training camp. 🔥 In this episode: Which OTA standouts must prove it again at mandatory minicamp Why Jonah Elliss and Que Robinson are must‑watch every rep How Evan Engram and Jaylen Waddle reshape the offense’s identity What Jonah Coleman needs to show to keep his momentum rolling The key position battles that could shift before training camp Drop your take — who’s the one player you need to see shine before the team breaks until late July.
