Beskrivelse

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 in the system, he looks poised to take on a bigger role — whether as a rotational piece or a matchup‑specific weapon. The fellas also dive into the defensive backfield, where roles, rotations, and competition remain wide open. From the nickel battle to the depth behind Pat Surtain and Riley Moss, Week 2 gave us new clues about who’s rising and who still has work to do. 🔥 In this episode: * How Jonah Elliss followed up his breakout Week 1 performance * Why Dondrea Tillman looks ready for a bigger 2026 role * What we learned about the DB rotation and competition * Which defenders are stacking good days — and why it matters * The overall tone and energy of the defense in Week 2 Drop your take — which defender made the strongest impression in Week 2 of OTAs.

OBT: What We Learned About the Broncos Offense — Waddle’s Stardom, Coleman’s Burst & Engram’s Rise

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.
