Orange and Blue Today

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 step in and steady the offense. On defense, tackling must improve immediately. The Broncos couldn’t slow down Kansas City’s rushing attack, and now they face a high‑powered Jaguars offense with multiple ways to stress a defense. How does Denver clean things up, and what’s their plan for stopping Trevor Lawrence — a quarterback who thrives in tight‑window throws — and a passing game featuring Parker Washington. The Broncos cannot afford to fall to 0–2, and this episode breaks down exactly what Denver must do to get back on the right track. 🔥 In this episode: How Denver flushes last week’s loss and resets for Week 2 What the Broncos’ offensive gameplan looks like vs Jacksonville Whether Dobbins and Harvey get more early involvement How Denver improves tackling and run defense How to defend Trevor Lawrence’s tight‑window passing attack Drop your take — what’s the biggest adjustment Denver must make to beat the Jaguars.

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.

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 them involved earlier, or does Sean Payton need to step in and help stabilize the gameplan. And then there’s Bo Nix, who struggled under pressure — something he’s historically dealt with early in seasons. How can Denver better protect him, and what adjustments must be made before Sunday. The Broncos cannot afford to fall to 0–2, and this episode digs into exactly what they need to do to get this win. 🔥 In this episode: How Denver flushes the Chiefs loss and resets for Week 2 Why the Jaguars matchup is a major early‑season test How Dobbins and Harvey fit into the corrected gameplan Whether Sean Payton steps in on play‑calling How the Broncos protect Bo Nix and avoid an 0–2 start Drop your take — what’s the biggest adjustment Denver must make to beat Jacksonville.

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 consistently. JK Dobbins and RJ Harvey looked good on limited touches — so can Davis Webb get them involved earlier, or does Sean Payton need to step in and help stabilize the play‑calling.

Palmer breaks down how Jacksonville will attack, what matchups matter most, and how the Broncos can keep this game from tilting early. 🔥 In this episode: How Denver responds after the Chiefs wake‑up call Why the Jaguars’ offense is a major test for the Broncos How Dobbins and Harvey fit into the Week 2 gameplan Whether Sean Payton steps in on play‑calling How Trevor Lawrence stresses Denver’s coverage Drop your Week 2 take — what’s the biggest adjustment Denver must make before Sunday.

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 touches. Can Davis Webb get them involved earlier, or will Sean Payton have to step in and help with play‑calling. And then there’s Bo Nix, who struggled under constant pressure. Cec and Mase dig into how Denver can better protect him, what adjustments are realistic, and how the offense can stabilize before Week 2. 🔥 In this episode: How Denver’s run defense became a major concern Why Dobbins and Harvey need more early involvement Whether Sean Payton steps in on play‑calling How the Broncos can better protect Bo Nix What Monday night revealed about Denver’s identity Drop your take — what’s the biggest fix Denver needs before Week 2.

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 respect the run and opens up the Bo Nix–Jaylen Waddle connection. But if Dobbins misses time again, Denver has to be ready. That means more RJ Harvey as a space‑creator and mismatch weapon, and more Jonah Coleman as the physical, tone‑setting rookie who can keep the run game afloat. The Broncos have built depth for this exact scenario — but the ceiling is undeniably higher with Dobbins available every week. This episode breaks down both realities: the dream scenario where Dobbins finally delivers a full season, and the contingency plan if history repeats itself. 🔥 In this episode: What JK Dobbins’ workload could look like in Week 1 How Denver’s offense changes if he stays healthy all year What the Broncos’ backup plan is if Dobbins misses time How RJ Harvey and Jonah Coleman fit into the rotation Why Dobbins’ health is one of the biggest storylines of 2026 Drop your Broncos take — what does the run game look like if Dobbins finally plays all 17.

• Is Denver’s ground game ready for a hot Week 1 start
• What JK Dobbins must show early in the season
• How RJ Harvey can improve as a runner
• Why Jonah Coleman may be more than just a backup
• How the toughest six‑game stretch shapes the backfield

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, leverage, and YAC ability travel. Even in a divisional game with a fired‑up crowd, he’s built for prime time. A huge debut is absolutely on the table — especially if Denver leans into motion, stacks, and quick hitters to get him rolling. This is the first real look at the Nix‑to‑Waddle connection, and it could define the tone of Denver’s season. 🔥 In this episode: What Jaylen Waddle’s role should look like in week 1 How the Chiefs’ young secondary can try to slow him down Why the Nix‑Waddle chemistry could pop immediately What fans should realistically expect on Monday night Drop your Broncos take — how big will Waddle’s debut be, and how much will the Nix connection matter against Kansas City.

🔥 Description

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 kept rookie Dallen Bentley, a seventh‑round pick who projects as a future Trautman‑type player — maybe with more upside than originally expected. Nate Adkins provides versatility and reliability in multiple roles.

And then there’s Caleb Lohner — the 2025 seventh‑rounder who made the team but starts the season on IR‑designated to return. He’s a massive project with real athletic upside, but he’s done little so far due to injuries. Is he the key to this group being better than expected. If so, when could he realistically be out there helping the Broncos.

This TE room has stability, youth, and potential — but does it have enough juice.

🔥 In this episode:

• Is the Broncos TE room good enough for a playoff run

• Can Evan Engram be better than last year

• Why Dallen Bentley may have more upside than expected

• How Nate Adkins fits into the rotation

• Whether Caleb Lohner can change the ceiling — and when he might return

Drop your Broncos take — which tight end needs to step up most, and who has the best chance to surprise in 2026.

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 national voices still so wrong. We dig into the biases, the blind spots, and the outdated narratives that keep analysts from seeing what Denver sees every day. 🔥 In this episode: Why ESPN left Bo Nix out of the Top 100 What Nix’s teammates say that analysts ignore Whether a year‑three leap is coming Why national evaluators keep missing on Denver’s QB Drop your Broncos take — is Bo Nix about to shock the national media again, and how high can he climb in 2026.

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.

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.
