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.

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.
On today’s Orange & Blue Today, Cecil Lammey and Andrew Mason dig into the growing buzz around Davis Webb and whether the Broncos are quietly positioning him to become their next offensive coordinator.

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.

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.

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. No rhythm, no run game, and no answers for a Patriots defense that forced Denver into a one‑dimensional slog. The guys dig into why the ground game vanished, how the weather magnified every offensive flaw, and what ultimately kept the Broncos from capitalizing on a defensive masterpiece. 🔥 In this episode: Why Denver’s defense played well enough to win How the offense stalled with Stidham in the snow Why the run game disappeared when Denver needed it most What the Patriots did to choke off Sean Payton’s plan Where the Broncos go from here after a gut‑punch loss Tell us — was this more about New England’s defense or Denver’s offensive collapse.
