On today’s Orange & Blue Today, Cecil Lammey and Andrew Mason react to Chris Simms’ headline‑grabbing take that Bo Nix could be “Drew Brees with a better arm.” If that comparison is even partially true, what does it mean for Sean Payton’s offense, and how close does it put the Broncos to finally breaking through after falling just short in the AFC Championship. The guys dig into how Nix’s accuracy, timing, and processing mirror Brees — and how his arm talent could open up parts of Payton’s system that Brees never accessed. They also explore whether this pushes Denver toward a more aggressive, pass‑leaning identity, and how much this elevates the Broncos’ Super Bowl window heading into 2026. 🔥 In this episode: What Simms meant by the “Brees with a better arm” comp How Nix’s traits unlock deeper layers of Payton’s playbook Whether Denver becomes more pass‑heavy in 2026 How close the Broncos truly are to a Super Bowl breakthrough Why Nix’s development could redefine the AFC race Is Bo Nix really the next evolution of Drew Brees — and does that make Denver a Super Bowl favorite.

On today’s Orange & Blue Today, Cecil Lammey and Andrew Mason break down a suddenly shifting AFC landscape — one where Baltimore, Buffalo, Miami, and others are undergoing major coaching changes, while the Broncos return with continuity, stability, and a rising young quarterback. With so many contenders resetting their identity, the question becomes unavoidable: are the Denver Broncos actually the favorites in the AFC for 2026. The guys dig into why Denver’s combination of Bo Nix’s Year‑2 leap, Davis Webb’s promotion, Sean Payton’s system, and a top‑tier defense might give them a clearer path than anyone expected.

On today’s Orange & Blue Today, Cecil Lammey and Andrew Mason react to Mike Florio’s Super Bowl‑week comments, where he argued that the loss of J.K. Dobbins was the critical blow that derailed Denver’s playoff run. The guys break down whether Florio is right, how much the Broncos truly missed Dobbins’ vision and physicality, and whether his absence exposed a roster flaw that must be fixed immediately. Then comes the big question: should running back be the Broncos’ No. 1 offseason priority. Cecil and Mase dig into how Sean Payton views the position, what the offense looked like without a true bell cow, and whether Denver needs to invest heavily — in free agency or the draft — to protect Bo Nix and restore balance to the attack. 🔥 In this episode: Did losing Dobbins change the entire postseason trajectory Why Florio believes RB was the missing piece Should Denver prioritize RB over WR, OL, or defense How a top‑tier back elevates Bo Nix and Payton’s scheme What the Broncos’ RB room must look like in 2026 A national voice fires up the debate — and OBT breaks down what it really means for Denver’s future.

On today’s Orange & Blue Today, Cecil Lammey and Andrew Mason dive into the moment Broncos Country still can’t shake: Sean Payton passing on the field goal in the AFC Championship, going for it on 4th down in the red zone… and coming up empty. Denver lost by three. The math is brutal, the optics are worse, and the question now is unavoidable — how much does Payton actually regret that decision. The guys break down what they’re hearing inside the building, how Payton has addressed the call privately versus publicly, and why Chris Simms’ Super Bowl‑week comments might hit a nerve with the Broncos’ head coach. Did Simms simply say what everyone else is thinking, or did he cross a line that could spark a response from Payton. 🔥 In this episode: How much Payton truly regrets the 4th‑down gamble Why the decision still stings inside the organization What Chris Simms said — and why it could irritate Payton How this moment shapes Denver’s offseason narrative Whether this becomes a turning point or a lingering scar A controversial call, a national voice weighing in, and a head coach who doesn’t forget criticism — today’s OBT gets spicy.

On today’s Orange & Blue Today, Cecil Lammey and Andrew Mason break down the big news: Davis Webb is officially the Broncos’ new offensive coordinator. So what does this mean for Bo Nix, and how much will Denver’s offense shift now that Webb is stepping into a major role. The guys dig into how Webb’s style compares to Sean Payton’s — where it stays the same, where it evolves, and why his teaching‑first approach could be exactly what Nix needs in Year 2. They examine how Webb handles the promotion, how he’ll manage the balance between scheme and development, and whether his guidance becomes a key accelerator for Nix’s growth as a franchise quarterback. 🔥 In this episode: What Webb’s promotion means for Bo Nix’s development How Webb’s style differs from Sean Payton’s Why Webb’s communication and teaching matter now more than ever How this move shapes Denver’s 2026 offensive identity Whether Webb becomes the catalyst for Nix’s next leap A new OC, a young QB, and a fresh direction for the Broncos offense — the next chapter starts now.

The guys break down whether Sean Payton is truly ready to hand over play‑calling duties, what Webb brings schematically, and why his relationship with Nix — built on communication, trust, and teaching — could make this pairing work at a high level. 🔥 In this episode: Is Davis Webb the frontrunner for OC Would Sean Payton actually give up play‑calling Why Webb’s relationship with Bo Nix matters How Webb’s philosophy fits Payton’s system What this hire would signal about Denver’s 2026 direction A rising coach, a franchise QB, and a decision that could reshape the Broncos’ offense.

On today’s Orange & Blue Today, Cecil Lammey and Andrew Mason dig into the Broncos’ fast‑moving search for a new offensive coordinator — and the big question inside the building: how much is Bo Nix involved. Sean Payton is driving the process, but with a young franchise QB recovering from ankle surgery, the Broncos know the next OC must elevate Nix, protect him, and build an offense tailored to his strengths. The guys break down who Payton wants, what traits he’s prioritizing, and why Ronald Curry is getting an interview.

On today’s Orange & Blue Today, Cecil Lammey and Andrew Mason dive into the growing conversation around Bo Nix’s durability. Multiple ankle injuries. Now ankle surgery. And suddenly the question is on the table: is Nix injury‑prone, or is this just bad luck at the worst possible time. Then comes the twist — Sean Payton publicly said Nix was predisposed to this type of injury… and Nix pushed back, saying he disagrees. So why the disconnect.

What pushed Payton to make this decision after the AFC Championship loss? And what does it reveal about how he views the offense, Jarrett Stidham’s struggles, and the direction Denver must take heading into 2026. The guys break down the internal factors, the philosophical clashes, and the performance issues that led to Lombardi’s exit — plus the big question everyone is asking: who gets the job next.

On today’s Orange & Blue Today, Cecil Lammey and Andrew Mason break down how the Broncos’ season ended one step short of the Super Bowl. The defense delivered a championship‑caliber performance in the snow, bottling up Drake Maye and giving Denver every chance to win. But the offense — led by Jarrett Stidham — never found its footing.

Saturday’s Orange & Blue Today is all about the BEST gameplan for the Broncos to punch their ticket to the Super Bowl. Cecil Lammey and Andrew Mason break down how Denver must attack the Patriots on both sides of the ball. When the Broncos have it: can they run effectively with RJ Harvey and Jaleel McLaughlin, and does Jarrett Stidham need to win from the pocket or can Sean Payton manufacture rhythm with play‑action and tempo. Then the guys flip to the defensive matchup: can Denver get to Drake Maye, a quarterback who thrives under pressure, and do they have the discipline and physicality to slow down Rhamondre Stevenson, the engine of New England’s offense.

He practiced in a limited fashion all week, but the Broncos will have to punch their Super Bowl ticket without their most talented back. The guys break down whether RJ Harvey and Jaleel McLaughlin can shoulder the load, how Sean Payton may adjust the run game, and what Denver must do to keep the offense balanced with Jarrett Stidham under center.

On today’s Orange & Blue Today, Cecil Lammey and Andrew Mason break down whether Vance Joseph’s master plan for Josh Allen can translate to Drake Maye, a quarterback with the same big‑arm talent and rushing danger. The guys dive into how Denver confused Allen, how those concepts apply to a rookie playing the biggest game of his life, and why the Broncos’ defense might once again be the group that carries this team to the Super Bowl. They explore how Denver’s disguised pressures, disciplined rush lanes, and secondary communication match up with New England’s offense — and whether the Broncos’ defensive identity is peaking at exactly the right time. 🔥 In this episode: How VJ’s plan shut down Josh Allen Why similar concepts could rattle Drake Maye How Denver’s pass rush and coverage disguise work against a rookie QB Why the Broncos’ defense may be the engine of a Super Bowl run What adjustments Denver must make for New England’s scheme Tell us — is this the game where Denver’s defense sends them to the Super Bowl
