Former linebacker Manti Teo is laying the blame squarely on quarterback Bo Nix for the Denver Broncos’ offensive woes, arguing that Nix’s reluctance to throw deep contradicts Sean Payton’s proven vertical attack philosophy. Teo insists Nix needs to unleash his arm downfield to unlock the talent around him—especially with receivers like Courtland Sutton and Jaylen Waddle—to force defenses to respect the deep ball and open up the middle. Nix’s tendency to rely on short passes last season starkly contrasts with Payton’s playbook, which thrived on big plays and touchdowns, not just yardage. Teo draws a direct line to Drew Brees’ evolution under Payton, suggesting Nix can follow a similar path. With Davis Webb now calling the shots, the Broncos’ offensive identity is poised to shift—and Nix’s ability to adapt and deliver deep throws will be the make-or-break factor for the team’s success this season.
