FULL Denver Broncos 2024 Preview: Win Total Floor & Ceiling

Denver Broncos 8- n in year one of Shawn pyton a three- win bump from the year before hey hey great job despite the Improvement in the win column their bar for 2024 is on the low end a 5 and 1 half over under team guess the magic eight ball is worried starting over at QB is going to hurt a little the Denver Broncos select Bo Nicks quarterback Oregon it's not that they were stuck watching worst Cooks in America but they were kind of expecting some Gordon Ramsay back there intercepted at the 42 yd line so they bit the bullet in a big way and cut ties with Russell Wilson time for some Bronco bro b Knicks the comparison was Tua because he's got real quick hands he's very accurate underneath and he can lay the ball up B Nicks is said to be as polished as any college quarterback can be makes sense since he was giving Van Wilder a run for his money by stretching his time on campus he's played a lot of football started 61 games in college that's where you see the Polish and things like this with ball handling all you need is scented candles massage oil and Berry White write that down here's the thing though Wilson wasn't the worst quarterback in the league by any means replacing his production isn't a given cland makes the catch touchdown Denver 26 touchdowns only eight ints a rating of 98 a lot of teams like the Steelers I guess would have welcomed that kind of play from their quarterbacks Russ Russ throws the ball to the End Zone it is caught touch St de on the flip side the bar the offense he led isn't High Broncos 19th in points per game last year 26 in yards per game and he's in the end zone he throws a loose ball to the near Side Denver also sent wide receiver Jerry Judy packing he did put up 750 plus yards for him that's not chump change courland Sutton is still around he went for 772 scored 10 times wants courland Su In The End Zone courland goes up and makes the catch touchdown Denver they signed Josh Reynolds away from Detroit over 600 yards five TDS touchdown Detroit Li and they drafted Bose Taj they got Troy Franklin in the fourth round he was Nick's personal assistant at Oregon big time Big Time vertical speed receiver ran 441 but quite honestly I thought he played even faster than that who else from there though they have pro bowler Marvin Mims he made the Pro Bowl as a return man as a receiver 377 yds one score throws a ball deep down the field that ball is caught a miraculous catch in inside the 15 by Marvin Mims tight end Adam Troutman only good for a little over 200 yards Greg doul only two games played last year running back samagi perine was third on the team in receiving yards with 455 he caught 50 balls he's back Wilson underneath samaj perine he's got 10 got a first down at the 45 javante Williams though is their lead back the hard determined running of javante Williams Williams 774 rush yards y but he had clipss in the Neptunes playing in his earbuds just 3.6 yard per carry which brings us to their o line aka the dudes that made him grind no no better day no Day whatever it takes do kids call you Mr sniffles so on one hand Denver's offensive line gave up 52 sacks last year 27th both their tackles Garrett BS and Mike mcglinchy gave up eight plus sacks and allowed higher pressure rates than the average tackle third down and 12 off he goes again and wrapped up on the other hand taking sacks is a rust thing part of why some don't think he fit with Payton from his pocket and down he goes christian barmore again so lots of room for improvement on the offensive side even more on the defensive side though 27th in points per game allowed 29th in yards per game 22nd in the Red Zone touchdown worst Rush defense in the league they gave up five a run Cuts left at the five he breaks the tackle into the end zone touchdown pass defense not good either 98 rating that's 30th 27th and completion percentage allowed passes defensed 30th yards per attempt allowed 25th Travis Kelsey he is running a clinic on getting open here tonight he seems to have anything he wants offensively right now pass rush yeah more of the same 21st in sacks wide open TouchDown King K Denver had some stretches where they shed some things up last year but this was a group that ate a 70 Burger so they need a joker sized rebound have to do it without star safety Justin Simmons a cap casualty throws the ball anyway and it's going to be intercepted and that is Justin Simmons once again his replacement though Brandon Jones comes over from Miami played the pass as well as any safety last year two interceptions and held quarterbacks to a low 40s rating here's the pass weing at a pick here and it is intercepted for the second time Brandon Jones has an interception who he runs with is up in the air right now can't battle for the strong safety spot they also let cornerback Fabian Maro walk 16 games 11 starts he played the pass respectively Denver secondary still has quarterback Patrick certan though he comes off a pro bowl year intercepted that ball intercepted at the 5 yd line by Pat ceran certan could play the pass better though he gave up a rating over a 100 cornerback toari matthysse same boat gave a rating over 120 nickel cornerback jaquin McMillian gave up a plus 100 rate plus eight touchdowns nine was the most Allowed by any DB jacobe Meers wide open added Levi Wallace the vet comes off a solid year in Pittsburgh he has a nice overall resume is intercepted Wallace gets the two feet down he's got another pick as mentioned those Bloks could use some help from their front had a couple guys who were oo fans at least outside linebacker Jonathan Cooper picked up eight and 1 half sacks be thrown again Runs Out of Time Jonathan Cooper outside linebacker Nick Bonito eight bags here they come again Howell buried Nick Bonito coming around the Blind Side he must be really pretty he got to see more action cuz the Red Baron got knocked out of action by Snoop the lightning quick Browning only played 10 games racked 4 and A2 QBs away from juwel but he does not get away from browning defensive end Zack Allen returned off a five sack campaign that's basically what he's been good for three years running press coming and there he goes down again ball loose Zack Allen knocked it out DJ Jones returns at nose tackle 46 tackles two sacks last year gets hit balls loose DJ Jones recovers they signed New Orleans defensive tackle Malcolm roach to fell out their front no starts for the Saints a year ago he's supposed to help their run though defense right there Malcolm roach making the tackle behind them Alex Singleton 177 of them third most in the league two sacks and that was Singleton with the stop nice job loss of one he will have a new partner Josie juwel 108 tackles two forced fumbles three sacks out in with Cody Barton 125 tackle dude with Washington a year ago it's intercepted picked off by Cody Barton we mentioned Mims is a top-notch Return Man the rookie has taken it in for a kick return of 99 Y and will Lutz will do the booting again 30 for 34 last season 43 yd field goal attempt by Lutz good snap good hole kick is out its way and it is good so let's quickly Zoom back out the change at quarterback probably hurts them short term at least production-wise Bo would really have to have a year Reynolds and Judy a push they're close enough even if Judy edged him out yardage wise last season lost Center Lloyd cushion Berry off their o line he had a good year for them last year probably moved Luke wattenberg up to that spot he's a third-year guy saaks allowed will drop with Nicks either way on the defensive side one change to the front five roach and Franklin Meyers step in I think the saying is when you find a roach that's a good thing so upgrade Barton for juwel a push both tackle monsters secondary Brandon Jones mitigates the loss of Simmons but I'm sure Brandon perno would have liked to have Simmons back they're better off at cornerback with Wallace though it's Trot over to their schedule now which would paint them as underd doogies in all but one of their games this season week one versus Seattle for example but that's a road game so is their Bucks game Vegas at home could still be a win Saints may be on the road Panthers are their 5.5 equals a 3 and4 bottom for them comes with the territory when your QB sitch is what it is be dog you got me what about if the quarterback spot isn't all that bad let's say they're on equal footing as some of their 7.5 opponents now they beat Seattle on the road same with Tampa Bay take care of the Chargers at home and maybe a win over Indie in Denver a seven and 10 ceiling isn't very high but with Bo at QB it would be quite the start dug deep into the game preview Guy bag for a 6 and 11 year but it could come with signs of a brighter future [Music] he [Music] [Music]
