Questions, besides the most obvious one.
With the summer solstice behind us, the days between now and the eventual start of training camp will start to get mercifully shorter. As hard as it may be to believe, the first NFL training camps will get under way exactly one month from Monday. While the Dallas Cowboys and Pittsburgh Steelers convene on July 21 to get a jump on the Hall of Fame game, the Broncos open camp on just six days later on July 27th.
It’s...

While the Broncos offense works to get its identity figured out, the defense is set up to have a special season.
Good morning, and happy Father’s Day, Broncos Country!As we sit here, there’s reason to feel excitement about the Denver Broncos.
In a time when it’s occasionally hard to find ways to feel that way, you take what you can get. But the Broncos secondary seems like it’s for real. As does recent...

On this week’s Cover 2 Broncos, Coach Vass and I took a deep dive into the Fangio defense.
On this week’s episode of Cover2Broncos I had the good fortune to speak with the one and only Coach Vass. Since I started writing for Mile High Report, there are very few people who have taught me more. In case you didn’t know, Vass hosts a couple of podcasts breaking down scheme, runs a Patreon where he shares all sorts of information as well as All-22...

Who makes it to the final 53? Here is my way-too-early Denver Broncos roster projection.
OTAs and the mandatory Minicamp are behind us, which means it’s time to take a very early stab at how the roster battles will shake out on the Broncos. What follows is my first guesses based on what I’ve heard, read, know, and studied so far this offseason....

An early look at the potential options.
Broncos Country waits with bated breath for a quarterback to step in as the true heir to Peyton Manning. Barring a trade for Aaron Rodgers or Deshaun Watson, the majority of fanbase waits and prays that Drew Lock can improve enough to emerge as the starting quarterback over Teddy Bridgewater; a man the Carolina Panthers traded away for a 6th round pick.
All told, there’s a pretty good chance George Paton...

I spoke to Cory Kinnan of With the First Pick to find out.
Throughout the run up to George Paton’s first draft, I’ll admit I felt a sense of pressure for the Broncos to take a quarterback. Beyond my concerns about Drew Lock’s long term outlook was the fact just about every draft analyst I respect mentioned concerns about the 2022 QB class. When you combine that with the fact the 2021 Broncos look unlikely...

RB veteran Melvin Gordon III is excited to be back on the field, and he’s expecting hard work from everyone in the 2021 offseason
Denver Broncos running back Melvin Gordon III met with the press to talk about his expectations for the 2021 season and their team, including the running back and quarterback positions.
The running back felt good to be with his teammates again for the offseason. “No matter what you do in training, you can’t simulate being on the...
It’s just minicamp and no decisions are being made this week, but both quarterbacks will need to overcome some natural tendencies to be QB1.
Sometimes Benjamin Allbright’s analogies on Broncos Country Tonight are a bit wacko...and sometimes he nails it.
His recent comparison between Teddy Bridgewater and Drew Lock to the two main characters in “Tin Cup” was spot on.
Bridgewater is Don Johnson’s character, David Simms - a golfer who will lay up every time to take the safe shot. Lock...

Progress is passing. Passing is progress.
Almost exactly two-thirds of all offensive yards gained in 2020 were passing yards. This was actually down a bit from a high of 69.1 percent in 2015. Back in 1977 more than half of all offensive yards were rushing yards. Also back in 1977, 5.23 percent of all passes were intercepted. The percentage of throws intercepted in 2020 was the lowest that it has ever been - 2.06 percent.
This means that the league as a...

He was the day 1 winner according to most observers, but does it matter?
The Denver Broncos start of minicamp meant the start (restart) of the QB battle between Drew Lock and Teddy Bridgewater. It may not be what people want to read about, but the topic is unavoidable.
Ian St. Clair and I started the MHR Radio Podcast off with a discussion about the outcome of day 1, a resounding “win” for Lock.

The Denver Broncos are in the middle of OTAs and we’re already hearing juicy whispers about the quarterback competition between Drew Lock and Teddy Bridgewater
With no big earth-changing news coming for the Broncos in the form of any high-profile QB being traded for, the bubbling story forming for the team is the quarterback competition.

If it just happens to be Aaron Rodgers, the value is suddenly elevated, says fantasy guru Evan Silva.
Evan Silva with EstablishTheRun.com joined Broncos Country Tonight Monday to talk Fantasy Football, and surprise, surprise - it makes a big difference if the Broncos have Teddy Bridgewater/Drew Lock or if they somehow manage to get Aaron Rodgers as to how one should value the Broncos’ skill players.
