🔥 Description Friday’s Orange & Blue Today digs into whether the Broncos ground game is ready to explode out of the gate — because Denver is staring at the toughest first six‑game stretch in the NFL, and they’ll need every ounce of juice from this backfield. JK Dobbins is healthy, confident, and giving fans a pinkie promise that he’ll stay that way all season. That’s fun — but the real question is Week 1 and the brutal month‑and‑a‑half that follows. Can he set the tone early. Can he be the engine of Sean Payton’s offense when the schedule immediately turns into a gauntlet. Behind him, RJ Harvey is one of the league’s most dangerous receiving backs — but how much can he grow as a runner. Can he become more than a space‑player and give Denver meaningful carries when defenses sell out to stop Dobbins. And then there’s Jonah Coleman, the rookie who’s already earned the No. 2 job. Is he good enough to mix in for a few touches even when Dobbins is rolling. Can he give Payton the physicality and burst needed to keep the run game fresh through that opening stretch. If Denver wants a fast start, this trio has to deliver — and Friday’s show breaks down exactly how they can. 🔥 In this episode: Is Denver’s ground game ready for a hot Week 1 start What JK Dobbins must show early in the season How RJ Harvey can improve as a runner Why Jonah Coleman may be more than just a backup How the toughest six‑game stretch shapes the backfield Drop your Broncos take — which RB becomes the difference‑maker early, and how fast can this ground game get rolling.
