Locked On Broncos - Daily Podcast On The Denver Broncos

The Denver Broncos lean on the CEO approach as Sean Payton gives up playcalling, Vance Joseph’s surging defense returns most of the same key pieces, and elite special teams returns as the Broncos aim to return to the AFC Championship in 2026. Can Sean Payton’s big-picture approach, paired with Davis Webb’s play-calling and more growth from Bo Nix fuel a Super Bowl run this year?

 

Cody Roark and Sayre Bedinger highlights how Payton’s mastery in situational football, game management, and how player development has transformed the Broncos’ culture. Vance Joseph’s defensive resurgence—with stars like Patrick Surtain II, Nik Bonitto, and Zach Allen—plus Darren Rizzi’s special-teams unit led by Will Lutz, Jeremy Crawshaw, Marvin Mims, and All-Pro Devon Key. With rising contributors like Jahdae Barron, Justin Strnad, and Kris Abrams-Draine, Denver’s depth and continuity could be their secret sauce regarding contention.

 

Cody Roark is a credentialed beat reporter for Mile High Sports and covers the Broncos daily in person. Sayre Bedinger is the site expert for Predominantly Orange. Both bring Broncos Country the most in-depth and objective coverage of the Denver Broncos.

The Denver Broncos have a Super Bowl caliber defense, but if they're going to make it back to the AFC Championship game in 2026, they'll have to force more takeaways. Cody Roark and Sayre Bedinger break down the Broncos defense and discuss how their league leading pass rush can continue their dominant trend for the third year in a row, why takeaways are going to be important for Vance Joseph's unit, and why players like Justin Strnad, Que Robinson, Tyler Onyedim, and Sai'vion Jones will be impact players this season beyond the big names like Patrick Surtain II, Nik Bonitto, Zach Allen, Talanoa Hufanga, and Ja'Quan McMillian.

If the Denver Broncos are going to return to the AFC Championship game in 2026, Bo Nix's playmakers need to be better across the board for him. After pass-catching options had 43 drops last season, the Broncos' offense missed out on a lot of opportunities. Nix will rely on Courtland Sutton, Jaylen Waddle, Troy Franklin, Pat Bryant, Evan Engram, and Marvin Mims as his top pass catching options and they'll all need to minimize drops. Waddle's addition makes him the thermostat for the Broncos offense, and because of his arrival, players like Franklin, Bryant, and Mims will have more opportunities to make plays.

 

Cody Roark and Sayre Bedinger break down the Broncos playmakers on offense and what they must do for Bo Nix this upcoming season in order to make it back to the AFC Championship.

If the Denver Broncos are going to return to the AFC Championship in 2026, their rushing offense must evolve into a strength of theirs. Part of that is J.K. Dobbins remaining healthy, RJ Harvey continuing to grow, and Jonah Coleman serving as the insurance policy for the Broncos offense. Plus, the Broncos run game scheme has to evolve Sean Payton believes the same.

 

Cody Roark and Sayre Bedinger break down the Broncos rushing attack in the first episode of their 'Returning To The AFC Championship' series.
