Episode Details

Our Orange & Blue Today position previews roll on — and today we dig into the Broncos inside linebackers, a room with proven veterans, rising talent, and one rookie who refuses to be overlooked. Alex Singleton remains the heartbeat of the defense, but how much does he have left in the tank. He’s still a tackling machine, still instinctive, still the communicator who keeps the front aligned — but can he maintain that level in 2026 as the mileage adds up. Justin Strnad has been one of Denver’s most underrated defenders. Have we already seen his best, or is there another jump coming now that he’s fully settled into Vance Joseph’s system. His speed and coverage ability remain critical to the ILB room. And then there’s rookie Red Murdock — the seventh‑round steal who keeps showing he’s more than just a developmental pick. Can he get on the field this year. His instincts, tackling, and special‑teams value give him a real shot to carve out snaps earlier than expected. With PJ Locke gone and the defense leaning heavily on communication and versatility, the ILB room’s performance will shape the entire unit. 🔥 In this episode: How much Singleton has left and what his 2026 role looks like Whether Strnad has another level to unlock If Red Murdock can force his way into real playing time How the ILB room fits into Vance Joseph’s turnover‑focused identity Why depth and development matter more than ever at linebacker Drop your take — which ILB surprises in camp and reshapes the rotation.
