It’s the Tuesday edition of Orange & Blue Today, and Cecil & Mase dig into three uncomfortable truths about the Broncos after a 2–1 start. The record is strong — the problems underneath are real. Denver has work to do, and we’re asking the tough questions.

1) Can they run the ball effectively. With Jonah Coleman out for a few weeks, the pressure falls on JK Dobbins and RJ Harvey. Can they produce more on the ground. Is the blocking good enough. And what does Denver need to change schematically to get this run game moving. Dive deeper into Broncos run‑game...

It’s the Monday edition of Orange & Blue Today, and Cecil & Mase break down the three biggest takeaways from the Broncos’ dramatic Week 3 win over the Rams on Sunday Night Football — a game that once again showcased Denver’s resilience, star power, and late‑game toughness. 1) Bo Nix is clutch. Another week, another fourth‑quarter comeback. Nix continues to show poise, command, and the ability to elevate when the moment demands it. Through three weeks, he’s proving he’s built for prime time and pressure situations. Use this to dive deeper into Bo Nix’s clutch profile. 2) Talanoa Hufanga changed th...

It’s a Friday GamePlan edition of Orange & Blue Today, and Cecil & Mase lay out exactly how the Broncos can beat the Rams on Sunday Night Football in Week 3 — a matchup that demands discipline, creativity, and a smart approach on both sides of the ball. On offense, the big question is the running back rotation. JK Dobbins is working through a hamstring injury — will he be close to full strength by Sunday. If he is, how should Denver attack on the ground. And if he’s limited, how much of the load shifts to RJ Harvey, whose burst and space ab...

It’s a Wednesday edition of Orange & Blue Today, and Mase and Cecil continue the deep dive into Broncos vs Rams on Sunday Night Football — a matchup shaped heavily by injuries, adjustments, and what we’ve learned through two weeks of the 2026 season. The running back room is once again the headline. JK Dobbins is battling a hamstring issue — will he be close to full strength. RJ Harvey could be a sneaky difference‑maker against the Rams because of his burst and space skills. And then there’s Jonah Coleman, who left Week 2 dinged up — does he have a high‑ankle spr...

It’s a Wednesday edition of Orange & Blue Today, and Cecil Lammey is joined by NFL Insider James Palmer to preview Broncos vs Rams on Sunday Night Football — a matchup that will test Denver on both sides of the ball. The big storyline is the status of Puka Nacua. If he plays, the Rams passing game becomes even more dangerous. If he doesn’t, Matthew Stafford still has enough weapons and timing‑based concepts to stress Denver’s coverage rules. So what kind of problems does this Rams offense create, and can the Broncos generate enough pressure to rattle Stafford...

It’s a Monday edition of Orange & Blue Today, and Cec & Mase recap the Broncos’ 20–13 win over the Jaguars — a gritty, momentum‑building victory powered by breakout performances on offense. Jaylen Waddle delivered his first 100‑yard game as a Bronco, hauling in 8 catches for 138 yards and giving the offense the explosive element it desperately needed. Can Denver keep that momentum going as Waddle continues to settle into his WR1 role. With JK Dobbins injured, rookie Jonah Coleman stepped in and shined. He logged 10 carries for 39 yards and a touchdown, sealing the game late with physical, clock‑draining runs, and added 3 catche...

It’s a Tuesday edition of Orange & Blue Today, and Cec & Mase dive into the Broncos rushing attack — a position group suddenly in flux after two weeks of injuries and one week of breakout performances. JK Dobbins is already dealing with a hamstring injury, and RJ Harvey had to miss Week 2 with the same issue. That opened the door for Jonah Coleman, who stepped in and delivered a strong, physical performance against Jacksonville. Is Coleman ready to be the lead back. Should Dobbins move to a complementary role until he’s fully healthy. And what does Harvey’s usage look lik...

It’s the Friday Gameplan Edition of Orange & Blue Today, and as Sean Payton always says, the NFL is either a crisis or a carnival — and last week was definitely the crisis. After a rough 31–10 loss to the Chiefs, the Broncos return home to Empower Field at Mile High needing to reset fast before the Jacksonville Jaguars come to town. So how do the Broncos attack the Jaguars defense. Will they feature JK Dobbins more after he and RJ Harvey looked good on limited touches. Can Davis Webb get the run game going early, or does Sean Payton need to ste...

Cec and Mase break down how the Broncos flush last week after a rough 31–10 season‑opening loss to the Chiefs — a big slice of humble pie for a team with Super Bowl expectations. With the Jaguars coming to town, Denver has to get back on track fast. The Broncos couldn’t slow down Kenneth Walker in Week 1, so how big of a concern is the run defense moving forward, especially against teams with quality running backs. On offense, Denver failed to run the ball consistently, even though JK Dobbins and RJ Harvey looked good on limited touches. Can Davis Webb get...

Amazon Prime NFL Insider James Palmer joins Andrew Mason and Cecil Lammey on Orange & Blue Today to break down the Broncos’ Week 2 matchup against the Jacksonville Jaguars — and how Denver responds after a wake‑up call against the Chiefs. The Broncos couldn’t slow down Kenneth Walker in Week 1, and now they face another high‑powered offense with multiple ways to stress a defense. How big of a concern is Denver’s run defense moving forward, and what has to change immediately to avoid a repeat performance. On offense, the Broncos need to find rhythm after struggling to run the ball con...

Cec and Mase break down everything that went wrong for the Broncos in their 31–10 loss to the Chiefs on Monday Night Football — and what it means moving forward. Denver couldn’t slow down Kenneth Walker, who ripped through the defense all night. Missed tackles, poor fits, and bad angles made it easy for Kansas City to control the game. So how big of a concern is this going forward, especially with more quality running backs on the schedule. On offense, the Broncos failed to run the ball consistently, even though JK Dobbins and RJ Harvey looked good on limited touche...

JK Dobbins says he’s ready for a large workload, and he’s doubling down with a pinky promise that he’ll stay healthy all season. It’s vintage Dobbins — confident, fiery, and absolutely convinced he’s still a top‑5 running back when he’s right. The problem: he’s missed more games than he’s played in his NFL career. So what does that mean for Denver. If Dobbins does stay healthy for 17 games, Sean Payton finally gets the explosive, decisive, downhill runner his offense has been missing. The Broncos’ ground game becomes a legitimate engine — one that forces defenses to respe...

🔥 Description Friday’s Orange & Blue Today digs into whether the Broncos ground game is ready to explode out of the gate — because Denver is staring at the toughest first six‑game stretch in the NFL, and they’ll need every ounce of juice from this backfield. JK Dobbins is healthy, confident, and giving fans a pinkie promise that he’ll stay that way all season. That’s fun — but the real question is Week 1 and the brutal month‑and‑a‑half that follows. Can he set the tone early. Can he be the engine of Sean Payton’s offense when the schedule immediately...

Monday Night Football. Chiefs. Broncos. Bo Nix. Jaylen Waddle. It’s one of the biggest Week 1 stages in the league — and Denver’s newest weapon is about to step into the spotlight. So what should fans expect from Waddle in week 1. Sean Payton has spent the entire offseason building timing, spacing, and rhythm between Nix and Waddle, and the Chiefs know it. With a young secondary, Kansas City will have to decide whether to bracket Waddle, play more zone than usual, or try to disrupt Nix early to prevent those timing‑based throws. But here’s the truth: Waddle’s speed, lev...

Thursday’s Orange & Blue Today digs into one of the biggest lingering questions on offense: is the Broncos tight end room actually good enough.

At the top, Evan Engram is the primary pass‑catching threat — but last year showed he may simply be who he is at this stage of his career. Can he be better in 2026. Can he ever become Sean Payton’s true “joker” weapon, or is that role still missing from the roster.

Behind him, Adam Trautman remains the trusted veteran blocker who keeps the offense on schedule. The Broncos also ke...

ESPN left Bo Nix out of their Top 100, and Broncos Country is rightfully fired up. The national analysts have never understood Nix — not his command, not his toughness, not the way he elevates the offense. But inside the building, his teammates keep saying the same thing: Bo is different, Bo is steady, and Bo is ready. Is he about to make a year‑three leap like Josh Allen once did. The signs are there — growth in processing, confidence in structure, and a locker room that believes he’s the guy to take them deep into January. So why are the nati...

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...

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 —...

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 Rap...

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, r...

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 to...

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 ye...

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...

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 decision...

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...

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 se...

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 po...

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. Jon...

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...
