No matter who was on the floor in the Nuggets’ preseason opener, you couldn’t take your eyes off Michael Porter Jr. Half of it was the storyline. Porter had of course missed his entire rookie season following two back surgeries that sent the once consensus top-2 recruit’s draft stock tumbling. But Porter also captures your eye for other reasons. He’s...

1. Will Barton had a couple of finishes at the rim that provided some hope that he was back to trusting himself to absorb contact and contort is body without overthinking it. When healthy, Barton is a crafty finisher at the rim. He’s great at using his off hand and hanging in the air long enough to twist and turn mid-air to work around the defense. Last season, he lost that skill and found himself deterred from even getting to the basket. Only 21% of his shots came at the rim in 2018-19, the lowest of his career by a wide margin. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4-8uP8Wlrus&feature=youtu.be 2. Jarred Vanderbilt has some funky footwork on the defensive end that limits the impact of his…

We break down Duke Dawson, the Broncos latest trade addition, going back to his college days and his latest preseason performance to see how he fits in Vic Fangio's defense.

Laviska Shenault Jr. is a monster. Here’s why.

When the Avalanche took Bowen Byram fourth overall at last month’s entry draft, it cemented Colorado’s future defense as one filled with stars. When Joe Sakic met the media shortly after, he was not shy about the organization’s intention to give Byram a long look in training camp this year. With injuries to Erik Johnson and Ian Cole, it would...

With a special group of edge rushers and cornerbacks, the Denver Broncos already have the making for a potentially elite pass defense. The missing piece is increased depth among both units, which is why we went back to the tape to analyze some of the most intriguing contributors on the second unit and beyond.

Denver Broncos 2019 first-round pick Noah Fant isn't a conventional in-line tight end but his skill set and appeal, in Rich Scangarello's new scheme, is easy to see with a blueprint rooted in the otherworldly production of another Iowa tight end who dominated the NFL in 2018.

We've analyzed Denver Broncos new offensive coordinator Rich Scangarello's scheme at nauseam but one aspect we haven't uncovered is the impact of the fullback position. That might sound antiquated and boring but you might find it's exactly the opposite.

With Pat Bowlen's passing still on our minds, we honor the Denver Broncos legendary owner by breaking down the four greatest plays in franchise history from 1984-to-2018.

With Jeff Heuerman and Noah Fant firmly set to make the Denver Broncos 2019 roster, the battle for the third tight end is one of the more interesting one's of the offseason with Troy Fumagalli making his case as we wait for Jake Butt to finally break out.

Vic Fangio is synonymous with linebackers, building his reputation on coaching some of the best second-level units in recent NFL history. Fangio hasn’t just coached up great linebacking units, he’s built schemes around them, perfectly countering modern NFL attacks built around quick passes over the middle of the field, with rangy, athletic backers with high-end cover skills. Which is why...

Why do the Denver Broncos have so much trust in Joe Flacco? we went back to 2014, a career year for Flacco to see how his success under then-offensive coordinator Gary Kubiak can be replicated by Rich Scangarello in 2019.

With another draft class in the books, we dug deep to breakdown the Denver Broncos nine best undrafted free agents from the 2019 class.

Which one? Pretend you’re grading two of Jamal Murray’s toughest postseason buckets like this is the Dunk Contest. One through 10 scale. Please hold up the appropriate number after each clip. First: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ts2lkoG_qkY Second: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mwxTs4OpYPs They’re probably both 10s right? It’s hard to ding these bottle rockets that touched only nylon on the way down. If you’re factoring in stakes, you’d give the edge to the first shot, which came in the final minute of Game 7 against the Spurs. Murray’s floater from the left elbow over LaMarcus Aldridge’s outstretched arm clinched Denver’s first playoff series win in a decade. But in a vacuum? No context provided? It’s the second shot, a falling-out-of-bounds, double-clutch, over-the-backboard tear drop that got Denver…

With their final pick of the 2019 NFL Draft, the Denver Broncos selected Colorado wide receiver, Juwann Winfree. We break down the high upside wide receiver.

Back in 1970, Alvin and Heidi Toffler published “Future Shock”, a book in which the couple posited society was undergoing a significant structural change and it was overwhelming people as a result. Fun fact: The concept of information overload was soon popularized as a result of their work. Fast forward nearly 50 years and focus on hockey instead of society as a whole, and we see something similar taking place. Despite being consistently dominated by members of the “old guard”, we’ve seen the NHL go through significant structural changes of its own in recent years. Defensemen under six feet tall have dominated the draft landscape and changed the priorities being honed in on as teams focus their attention on the…

With the 156th pick in the 2019 NFL Draft, the Denver Broncos selected Oregon outside linebacker, Justin Hollins. We break down the high upside do it all linebacker.

With the 71st pick in the 2019 NFL Draft, the Denver Broncos selected Ohio State defensive lineman Dre'Mont Jones. We break down the high upside inside pass rusher.
