Orange and Blue Today
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.
