Episode Details

On Thursday’s Orange & Blue Today, Cecil Lammey and Andrew Mason dig into Sean Payton’s challenge to his own offense: finding week‑to‑week consistency in the running game. It’s something Payton emphasized at the league meetings, and with good reason — Denver’s ceiling in 2026 depends on more than just Bo Nix and the passing attack. Payton also explained how Jaylen Waddle can actually unlock the ground game by forcing lighter boxes and stretching defenses horizontally. So are we about to see the best versions of J.K. Dobbins and RJ Harvey. And with the draft approaching, will the Broncos add a rookie running back to complete the rotation. 🔥 In this episode: Why Sean Payton believes the run game must stabilize in 2026 How Jaylen Waddle’s presence opens lanes for Dobbins & Harvey Is this the year Denver gets a true 1‑2 punch in the backfield Will the Week 1 roster include a rookie RB How a consistent ground game changes the entire identity of the offense Drop your thoughts in the comments and tell us which RB you think breaks out in 2026.
