The key to Denver’s remarkable turnaround isn’t hidden in a top-secret playbook in Sean Payton’s office.
It’s drastic improvements in a few key areas which has helped the Broncos roll off five-straight wins and put them squarely in the playoff conversation heading into December.
Even though it wasn’t intentional, the Broncos’ turnover machine has rightfully earned the nickname “McMillion” as he’s been money in Denver’s four-game win streak.
Sean Payton and Vance Joseph have found their winning formula.
It will mean “everything” for the team as they look to make a playoff push.
Sean Payton was clearly upset at Vance Joseph on the sideline in the fourth quarter of Sunday’s win against the Packers.
But that doesn’t reflect Payton’s relationship with his defensive coordinator.
After a dismal and historically bad start to the Denver Broncos’ season, Vance Joseph was on the hottest of hot seats just a week ago.
But after holding Patrick Mahomes, Andy Reid and the Kansas City Chiefs to only 18 points, is Joseph off the hot seat? Is his job safe for the rest of the year? Or is he still fighting for his job? What would Joseph have to do to be back as Sean Payton’s defensive coordinator in 2024?
Sean Payton and the Denver Broncos take on Nathaniel Hackett and the New York Jets on Sunday in what could be the juiciest game between 1-3 teams of all time thanks to Payton’s comments regarding Hackett and the Jets during training camp.
After saying Hackett and the Broncos’ 2022 staff did one of the worst coaching jobs in NFL history last year in Denver, does Sean Payton HAVE to beat Hackett and the Jets?
Will the Broncos beat the Jets?
The Broncos’ defense clearly has to improve. In fact, Sean Payton is still concerned about the unit.
But don’t put the majority of the blame on Vance Joseph, according to Zach Allen.
Through three weeks of the NFL season, the Denver Broncos have the worst scoring defense in the NFL, giving up slightly over 40 points per game.
What would have to happen for the Broncos to make that change and move on from Vance Joseph?
On Sunday in Chicago, the winless Denver Broncos will take on the winless Chicago Bears.
Is this the battle of the two worst teams in the NFL? Are the Broncos worse than the Bears?
With hope for the season quickly evaporating, Sean Payton had a message for the fans on Monday morning.
After giving up a historically awful 70 points to the Miami Dolphins on Sunday, Sean Payton and the Denver Broncos did not fire defensive coordinator Vance Joseph. Was this a mistake? Or is it too soon to fire Joseph after just three games? Will a move be made at some point? If so, when? What has to happen? Why has…
Threaten the lifeblood of the cash cow, and then heads will really start to roll.
Since Peyton Manning’s prime years in Denver, the Denver Broncos have been led by their defense, not their offense. Will that change this year with Sean Payton leading Russell Wilson, Javonte Williams, Jerry Jeudy and the Broncos’ offense? Or will Vance Joseph’s unit, including Pat Surtain II, Randy Gregory, Zach Allen and Justin Simmons, still be the strongest group on the team? Which unit will be better than the other? Which unit has the best chance to be one of the 10 best in the NFL? What is the better option for the team in 2023?
Will the Broncos have a top-10 scoring defense in 2023?
That is the question.
This is the debate.
The Denver Broncos wrapped up their first offseason in the Sean Payton era by wrapping up mandatory minicamp practice last week. After watching Russell Wilson, Pat Surtain II, Jerry Jeudy, Mike McGlinchey, Randy Gregory and the rest of the Broncos during OTAs and minicamp, have the expectations for the Broncos changed in the last few months? Is it playoffs or bust for the Broncos this year? What type of year will Wilson have under Payton? Who does this season matter the most for in Denver?
On Wednesday, the Denver Broncos had their second mandatory minicamp practice in the Sean Payton era. After practice Paton, Vance Joseph, Joe Lombardi and Ben Kotwica spoke to the media. The fellas break down what they learned from the Broncos’ coordinators as well as the biggest takeaways from the practice after watching Russell Wilson, Jerry Jeudy, Mike McGlinchey, Randy Gregory and Pat Surtain II.
Should Sean Payton and George Paton look to invest a lot on the defensive side of the football for the Denver Broncos in free agency? If so, should they be looking at top pass rushers, such as Javon Hargrave, Frank Clark and Yannick Ngakoue? Or should their focus be on giving Vance Joseph ILB playmakers such as Deion Jones, or Lavonte David? Or do they focus on keeping an elite secondary and adding James Bradyberry or Jonathan Jones to pair with Pat Surtain?
Welcome back to town, Vance Joseph!
On Tuesday, at the NFL Combine, Sean Payton spoke about Joseph coming back to Denver.
And a reunion that could of happened with Vic Fangio.
Sean Payton’s first coaching staff with the Denver Broncos is official and nearly complete. Who is the most important hire on the staff? Is it offensive coordinator Joe Lombardi, defensive coordinator Vance Joseph or someone else? What are the strengths of Payton’s staff and what are the areas of concern?
