OBT: What We Learned About the Broncos Defense — Elliss’ Surge, Turnover Push & Red Murdock Buzz

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.

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.
