On today’s Orange & Blue Today, Andrew Mason and Cecil Lammey dive into ESPN’s Mike Clay projections for Broncos QB Bo Nix — now entering Year Three, not Year Two — and whether his production is set for a steady climb or a full‑on statistical eruption thanks to the arrival of superstar WR Jaylen Waddle.

Clay’s model shows Nix trending upward again, but the big question is how much Waddle changes the math. Does Waddle’s elite separation and YAC ability push Nix past 4,000 passing yards. Does the improved spacing and tempo in Davis Webb’s offense help Nix crack 30 passing touchdowns for the first time in his career.

Mase and Cecil break down what Clay projects, what Nix’s Year Three trajectory typically looks like for young quarterbacks, and how the structure of the offense could unlock either a controlled progression — or a true breakout season.

🔥 In this episode:

• What Mike Clay’s model says about Nix’s Year Three outlook

• Whether Waddle’s arrival triggers a statistical explosion

• If Nix can realistically hit 4,000 yards and 30+ TDs

• How Webb’s offense boosts efficiency, rhythm, and red‑zone production

• Why Year Three is often the defining season for young QBs

Drop your take — is Nix headed for a steady Year Three climb, or a Waddle‑powered breakout.

On today’s Orange & Blue Today, Andrew Mason and Cecil Lammey break down Mike Clay’s projections for the Broncos’ pass rushers — not just the EDGE group, but the entire front: EDGE, defensive ends, and defensive tackles. After Denver set a franchise record for sacks in 2025, the big question is simple: Can they do it again, or does this defense evolve in a different direction.

The fellas dive into how Clay sees sack production shaking out across the roster, including what the numbers say about Jonah Elliss, Baron Browning, Nik Bonitto, Zach Allen, and the interior group. If the sack total dips — which is normal after a record‑setting season — what does that mean for the defense as a whole.

That’s where Vance Joseph’s turnover emphasis comes in. More strip attempts. More ball disruption. More chaos. Even if the sack number drops, could the Broncos actually become more dangerous by generating more strip‑sack‑fumbles and takeaways.

🔥 In this episode:

• How Clay projects sack production across EDGE, DE, and DT

• Whether Denver can realistically repeat its 2025 sack record

• What a dip in sacks would mean for VJ’s defense

• Why strip‑sack‑fumbles could rise even if total sacks fall

• Which pass rushers are poised to outperform projections

Drop your take — is this defense built to chase sacks again, or built to chase turnovers in 2026.

On today’s Orange & Blue Today, Andrew Mason and Cecil Lammey break down Mike Clay’s projections for the Broncos’ wide receiver room — and what they tell us about Bo Nix, Jaylen Waddle, Courtland Sutton, and the rest of Denver’s passing attack in 2026.

The big question: Does Bo Nix go over 4,000 yards passing — and if he does, what does that mean for Jaylen Waddle and Courtland Sutton. Clay’s numbers suggest both could push for 1,000 yards, with Waddle as the clear WR1 and Sutton operating as a “1A” who still dominates in the red zone.

But does Waddle’s arrival change Sutton’s touchdown profile. Does Sutton still get the end‑zone love, or does Waddle’s speed and spacing shift the math. And if the top two receivers command so much volume, what does that mean for Troy Franklin, Pat Bryant, and Marvin Mims.

Clay’s projections paint a clear picture of hierarchy, usage, and opportunity — and the fellas break down exactly what it means for the Broncos’ offense.

🔥 In this episode:

• Does Bo Nix hit 4,000 yards — and what that unlocks for the WR room

• Why Waddle is the WR1 and Sutton is the “1A” with red‑zone upside

• Whether Denver can realistically have two 1,000‑yard receivers

• How Waddle’s presence affects Sutton’s touchdown projection

• What Clay’s numbers say about Franklin, Bryant, and Mims’ roles

Drop your take — can Nix support two 1,000‑yard WRs in 2026, or does the volume spread out too much.

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.

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.

The timing, the rhythm, the footwork — all on display for the first time since his ankle procedure. And of course, the big storyline: What does Nix think of new superstar WR Jaylen Waddle — and how did their chemistry look on the field. From spacing to timing to trust throws, the early connection is already taking shape.

On today’s Orange & Blue Today, Andrew Mason and Cecil Lammey lay out exactly what the Broncos must show at mandatory minicamp now that OTAs are in the books and the team enters its final work before the long summer break. The headline going into minicamp: the OTA stars — Jonah Elliss, Que Robinson, Evan Engram, Jonah Coleman, and Jaylen Waddle — have all flashed in big ways. Now the question becomes: Can they stack those performances when the tempo rises, the installs deepen, and the entire roster is required to be on the field.
