Orange and Blue Today

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...

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 touchdow...

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 defen...

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 Wad...

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 P...

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...

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 Jarret...

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 blockb...

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 wen...

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...

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...

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 c...

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 explosi...

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...

It’s a solo show and we’re taking a detour to the villa — because today on Orange & Blue Today, Cecil Lammey delivers a Love Island–themed breakdown of the one player who has fully captured his football heart: Bo Nix. The vibes are immaculate. The sun is out. The recoupling ceremony is about to begin. And Cecil is ready to reveal the 3 Reasons Why He Loves Bo Nix — Broncos Edition. ❤️ Reason No. 1: The Loyalty Nix is the definition of a franchise QB — steady, reliable, and always showing up. No wandering eyes. No drama. Just commitment to the offense, the locker room...

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 p...

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 pay...

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 m...

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 i...

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...

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 r...

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 com...

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 interceptio...

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...

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 Se...

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...

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 rai...

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 rec...

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 hi...

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...

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 s...

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’...

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 a...

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...

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 Web...

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...

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...

On today’s Orange & Blue Today, Andrew Mason and Cecil Lammey break down the biggest defensive takeaways from Week 2 of Broncos OTAs — a practice where the defense once again showed juice, depth, and emerging storylines all over the field.

The headline: Jonah Elliss backed up his strong Week 1 with another disruptive day. His burst, leverage, and ability to win early in the rep are becoming a theme, not a fluke. The rookie looks like he belongs in the rotation already.

Then there’s Dondrea Tillman, who continues to flash versatility and play strength. With another year i...

On today’s Orange & Blue Today, Andrew Mason and Cecil Lammey break down everything we learned from OTAs — including our first full media session with new offensive coordinator Davis Webb. Webb finally stepped to the podium, and the early signs of his influence on the offense are already showing. The fellas dig into how the scheme looks different with Webb calling plays, what his voice sounds like inside the building, and how his offseason has changed now that he’s running the show. From tempo to spacing to QB communication, the Webb fingerprints are becoming clearer. Then came the bombsh...

On Wednesday’s Orange & Blue Today, Andrew Mason and Cecil Lammey lay out the three biggest things to watch as the Broncos enter Week 2 of OTAs — with the media getting full access to Thursday’s practice and coordinator availability. First, it’s all about the repeat performances. Last week’s standouts — Jonah Coleman, Sam Ehlinger, and Jonah Elliss — turned heads early. Now the question becomes: can they stack days and prove last week wasn’t a flash. Second, Vance Joseph speaks for the first time this OTA cycle. The fellas dig into what he needs to say about creating more takeaways...
