AI GeneratedThe Denver Broncos have placed rookie RB Jonah Coleman on IR for four weeks, a strategic move by Sean Payton to manage roster spots. While this puts pressure on JK Dobbins and RJ Harvey, the team is preparing for a clash with the LA Rams. With the Rams facing key injuries to Puka Nacua and Colby Parkinson, the Broncos are positioned for a dominant victory at Mile High.
Your Denver Broncos just made a very insanely risky move and Sean Payton's gonna actually have to do another one of these next week
Unless something drastically changes in this video
We're gonna break down what that change could be and other last-second news the Broncos get before the Rams come to town
If you're new to this channel, I'm Ben
I'm a diehard Broncos fan and it helps me in the algorithm out a ton
If you like the Broncos smash that like and subscribe button the move that happened since last night is that the Denver Broncos have put
Jonah Coleman on the four-week injured reserve status, so he is out for at least the next four games
We're gonna talk about who those are against how they do stop in the run all of that
But the weirdest thing about this story
Is that this happened at the last second and this happened despite the fact that we saw Jonah Coleman play an entire
Game of football outside of really his first snap here with the Broncos on that broken ankle on that sprained ankle
So he has a ankle sprain
So all the doctors are saying it's probably a high ankle sprain
But the fact that he played that game and played it extremely well
We saw incredible poise from this rookie running back at the fact that we have JK Dobbins have cramps in this game
And so the bell cow back of this game was Jonah Coleman
He played this entire game essentially on a high ankle sprain and then on top of that. He also
suited up at practice every day this week
So you have all of the beat reporters just shocked that this happened because it really came out of nowhere
Cuz you don't see a guy who is at practice suited up fully in pads all of that kind of stuff and seeing all the sideline
Shots of him only to have him put on the injured reserve status
We know why this happened and this happened because of how Sean Payton juggles the roster
He's the absolute master
roster manipulator in the entire NFL and has really done it his entire tenure like you can go through every single season that he's
Been a head coach and just see how he manipulates the 53 man roster to really have
56 57 dudes on that roster because he knows that what you get to do in the NFL is that you get to have a
Activated from your practice squad up to three times
Before they actually count against your 53 man roster
and so he hides guys on there who agree to start the season on the
Practice squad only to then be elevated once you have somebody end up getting hurt
Well because the Broncos have not had an injury they almost have to fake this injury here with Jonah Coleman and no doubt
He is dinged up
But he obviously showed that he ran for almost a hundred yards against one of the best running defenses and all of professional football
In the Jacksonville Jaguars
And so what you have seen here is that the Broncos made a risky move here
And what they did is they kept three quarterbacks when all of us were saying hey
this team is way too talented to keep three quarterbacks and what he was able to do is
He was able to convince both Adam Prentice and Mitchell for Brony to sign on our practice squad and he promised them
Hey, I'm gonna get you activated. You probably are gonna play all 18 games and into the playoffs for Brony
You're gonna be our long snapper in the Super Bowl
And and I will caveat that with like I don't think we're even gonna punt in the Super Bowl
So he's gonna have a really easy Super Bowl run
But essentially the Broncos only had one more elevation for each of these guys and they had to find a roster spot
This is something that I told you was gonna happen
And and I said hey, this is this is gonna be a problem here and it is a problem
So because Adam Prentice has already played in two games for the Denver Broncos as our starting fullback
He only has one more activation remaining
So after this week prepping for the San Francisco 49ers next week
the Broncos are gonna have to do something and make a cut to find a space for Adam Prentice and that is that's not a
problem that I like to have because
What happens if you cut any of these guys on the 53 man roster the rest of the NFL has a chance to say?
Hey, I want this guy and we already saw the Broncos had the most guys plucked off of their first training camp cutdowns out of
anyone in the NFL and so if you're already
Having everyone else in the NFL eat our scrap heaps
What's gonna happen?
Once you actually cut one of these starters unless there's a catastrophic injury tonight and you are moving some due to the IR
Naturally, the Broncos are gonna have to make a cut even this next week to get Adam Prentice on to this active roster
On top of that when we have Jonah Coleman come back in four weeks. We're gonna have to shed yet another spot here
So let's talk about what this is gonna mean without Jonah Coleman over these next four games
So we obviously know that we go immediately to the San Francisco 49ers
we're not gonna have him tonight against the Rams then week number five is gonna be
Against the Chargers and then a short week a Thursday night week here against the the Seahawks and then the Cardinals
So that's a long health period here for Jonah Coleman to really come back and be like at his best
But as we look at this tonight
I'm not worried here against the Rams because you know that you are gonna have an RJ Harvey and a JK Dobbins
But with RJ Harvey already having a hamstring issue
There are a lot of talks around Denver Circles that truly he probably could have been ready to go last week
But the Broncos felt great about getting Jonah Coleman some run and they felt really good obviously about JK Dobbins
Well that is hedging a lot of bets here on both of those guys one hamstring injuries
Those can really linger longer and those can flare back up
we saw that with Dre Greenlaw who missed a lot of last preseason then had it reading up and
Reaggravated and I don't love the fact here man
If all of a sudden JK does spring one of those other injuries or you have RJ's hamstring flare back up
That's a terrifying feat because this is really the end of the toughest part of your schedule. So that that's
Absolutely brutal bone that comes to yards per carry
you are looking at these first two teams as teams that you definitely can run on and
Especially knowing here that the 49ers are gonna be without Bosa
We're gonna talk a lot more about that next week and and really why the Broncos have great advantages going into that game
The Chargers could be in an absolute death spiral
By the time that we play them knowing that they are on the road in Buffalo and then they have a game against Seattle
So they are really in the toughest part of their schedule as well
And they could have totally folded by then or if they rattle off a couple of games
They could be right back in this AFC West hunt and then that Thursday night game
Is gonna be absolutely brutal
So you're really putting a lot of bets here that you are gonna have JK Dobbins and RJ Harvey stay healthy
I think this is showing that Sean has an insane amount of trust in JK Dobbins
And when he made that pinky promise to the Denver media that he's gonna play in all the games
You see Sean back that up with his actions
Like hey, I resigned to this guy to a two-year deal and I'm trusting that he's gonna be good
So much so that we can hide Jonah Coleman here on this injured reserve
List here now if I was Sean Payton
What would I do in this situation is that?
There are a couple players here that we could cut next week to get Mitchell for Brony back on the roster
But I don't like any of that
I think any of the guys that you cut next week are going to get picked up on a 53 man roster
I think Tyler bidet might be one of the guys that you you cut but we also know Tyler bidet plays a huge role in
our
Special teams unit
so I don't really like that idea my my big push here for the Broncos to do is
We are hearing it floated in tons of actual
NFL circles and even be telegraphed by the actual GM of the New York Giants is that they are trying to trade for a quarterback and
There are really two quarterbacks on this roster that the Broncos don't need both Sam Ellinger and a Jarrett sit him
We've talked about that ad nauseum on this channel. I wasn't for keeping three
At roster cut down, but the way Sean was able to manipulate this this roster and keep all the guys you wanted
I'm fine with it
But at this point you can no longer do that unless we have a big injury tonight to put someone there
So my option a would be trade Jarrett Stidham get anything get a seventh round draft pick for him
And then it's also clearing up that roster spot and then you just immediately sign
Adam Prentice to the spot that you are trading Jarrett Stidham out of the other huge advantage of this is that it's gonna clear up
5.4 million dollars in cap space. So it's just a win-win situation
you are clearing a spot for Adam Prentice and you are
Clearing up cap space that we could use to do a new deal with Jay Quan or with Riley Moss or Brandon Jones or with?
Marvin Mims, so that would be my move. The other move would be hey
Let's just save a roster spot and get a fifth or a sixth round pick for Sam Ellinger
And I I'm not totally opposed to that idea either
But I think it is one of those three quarter quarterbacks and that's not Bo Nix who needs to get traded
So let me know in the comments what you think about that
Now the Broncos also activated an absolute wild card after their practice squad and we got to talk about that

He's actually on our roster because he took that vacated spot from Jonah Coleman
The Denver Broncos make another big move here and activate another guy off a practice squad on to the 53-man roster tonight
You will actually be dressing and we'll be actually getting some playing time and that is Colby cats us now
This is a dude who was a dark horse to make the 53-man roster after training camp
He really was kind of a training camp darling
And I think that this is a sign that the Denver Broncos know that there's some meat on the bone in that return game in
Particular we broke down yesterday. How it was the San Francisco 49ers
Success returning the ball on the Rams that actually propelled them to that victory against the Rams in Australia
We saw Debo Samuel just break off some incredible kick returns
And I think we saw the same thing here with Colby cats us in the preseason
Particularly this this kick return here against the Minnesota Vikings really like launched him all onto our radar
Because you know, there's a lot of things you can't tell in training camp because you're going
1v1 v3. Sometimes you're not playing all the team starters, but special teams you truly see a way more
One-to-one translation there and and Colby cats. This is a guy going all the way back to college who had some
Really explosive moments here when you when you take a look at him in college
So I see an incredibly explosive player here and see a player that I think could make a difference tonight
Absolutely in the return game. Let's take a look at that
We're gonna have him returning kicks and it's probably gonna be him and Tyler but day and so I'm very excited to see how they
Look back there
This also could be a sign that maybe Marvin Mims is is not going to be
Activated for tonight's game and that's definitely something we want to keep an eye on
We know for Marvin Mims that he has been dinged up a lot during the season
And we also know that he's on a contract year and wants to put incredible film out there
So I don't expect Mims to really be going out there until he is a thousand percent
Other big updates that we got for tonight is that we know the Los Angeles Rams are the best team in professional football when they're in
13 personnel
which means that they want as many tight ends on the field as possible because they have just a stable of tight ends who can
Both block at a incredibly high level and then go out and run incredible routes
And I think the Broncos get some good news here as one of the tight ends for the Los Angeles Rams is Colby Parkinson
And he he just takes massive hits after massive hit
Remember watching last week and being like, I don't think Parkinson's gonna finish this game
he got upended and fell on his head, but he is a dinged up knee and
It sounds as if he is going to play but anytime like their biggest strength
Which is them and 13 personnel is gonna have one of those key linchpins
Feeling a nagging knee injury. That's just great news for the Broncos there
And then it is all but confirmed here as I'm watching all these NFL preview shows on tonight's game
The Puka Nakua is not gonna be playing tonight and might be missing even more time as the Rams have not shut the door on
Even a surgery here for the Puka Nakua. So there's rumors that like maybe he's not actually hurt and maybe it's a
Soft suspension because of his actions in the offseason
There's also rumors that it's a much bigger issue and it's a sports hernia and he might need surgery to be back
But no matter what whether he is hurt or not hurt
It's amazing news that you're gonna get to have a chance to have Pat Sertain
Go against a dude who's talked so much smack against him
And then I think the other like under under talked about storyline
It's just the fact that you're gonna have Sean Payton and Sean McVay meeting again
And you just cannot help but think about a time when they met here
this was in the NFC championship game obviously to go to the Super Bowl which the Rams actually end up winning this Super Bowl and
just one of the most
Blatant missed calls you've ever seen in professional football here as on a third and ten
Drew Brees has a dude in the slot and you just see this
Cornerback making no attempt at the ball whatsoever
It's almost as if he had a bounty out on the player
He was going for and Sean Payton was
Absolutely livid at this call and just lit into the officials and you see that and rightfully so he is is really upset and the
craziest part of this entire storyline is that it is the exact same referee who missed this call and
So, you know, you're really just hoping in as a Broncos fan that he's not gonna double down and show even more hate for Sean Payton
But in my mind like I feel like he's gonna in the back of his mind think I owe Sean Payton a call after this
But man, I just think there is no love lost between Sean Payton and Sean McVay
If Sean Payton hears one more person on the NFL say Sean McVay is a young Sean Payton
I think it's gonna make him lose his ever-loving mind
I think like man, what if my wife started working with with a guy and everyone was telling me hey that handsome guy
He's like a young Ben that wouldn't make me feel good
I'd feel awful like I think Sean Payton wants to put it on him and I think he's gonna do it tonight because we have
The Los Angeles Rams at the absolute perfect time. It is a perfect situation
It's gonna be a madhouse at mile-high and the Denver Broncos are going to mollywop the Los Angeles Rams
We got a ton to believe in the ball. Don't
