    How the Broncos get back on track in week 2! What's the GAMEPLAN? | Orange & 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.

    Should Broncos Country BELIEVE in JK Dobbins' confidence? | Orange & Blue Today

    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 the Broncos ground game poised for a fast start?  — How Dobbins, Harvey, and Coleman lead the way | Orange & Blue Today

    🔥 Description Friday’s Orange & Blue Today digs into whether the Broncos ground game is ready to explode out of the gate — because Denver is staring at the toughest first six‑game stretch in the NFL, and they’ll need every ounce of juice from this backfield. JK Dobbins is healthy, confident, and giving fans a pinkie promise that he’ll stay that way all season. That’s fun — but the real question is Week 1 and the brutal month‑and‑a‑half that follows. Can he set the tone early. Can he be the engine of Sean Payton’s offense when the schedule immediately turns into a gauntlet. Behind him, RJ Harvey is one of the league’s most dangerous receiving backs — but how much can he grow as a runner. Can he become more than a space‑player and give Denver meaningful carries when defenses sell out to stop Dobbins. And then there’s Jonah Coleman, the rookie who’s already earned the No. 2 job. Is he good enough to mix in for a few touches even when Dobbins is rolling. Can he give Payton the physicality and burst needed to keep the run game fresh through that opening stretch. If Denver wants a fast start, this trio has to deliver — and Friday’s show breaks down exactly how they can. 🔥 In this episode: 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 Drop your Broncos take — which RB becomes the difference‑maker early, and how fast can this ground game get rolling.

    is the Broncos tight end room good enough — and can Evan Engram or Caleb Lohner raise the ceiling in 2026

    🔥 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.
