Broncos Ilb Justin Strnad, A Tampa-area Native, Hoping For Best As Powerful Hurricane Milton Closes In On Gulf Coast

During Sean Payton’s study of Bo Nix ahead of the 2024 NFL draft, the Broncos head coach was galvanized by the quarterback’s ability to avoid getting sacked. In his first season in Denver, there was a sense of frustration about the amount of sacks former quarterback Russell Wilson had taken. And he knew his next signal caller had to prevent putting himself in those minus yard situations. Five weeks into the season, Nix hasn’t been perfect but has proven to be a hard player to take down, which Payton attributes to his sneaky quick speed and being a quality processor. “Getting through a progression quickly is extremely helpful in avoiding unnecessary sacks,” Payton said after Wednesday’s practice.

Justin Strnad hadn’t looked at his phone after practice Wednesday, but there’s not much he can do anyway besides hope for the best. The Broncos inside linebacker is a Tampa-area native and is keeping as close an eye as he can on his hometown, his family and friends and his own properties as Hurricane Milton barrels toward the Florida Gulf Coast. “One of our nutritionists was saying it was moving a little bit South,” Strnad told The Post.

Once again the Avalanche is entering a new hockey season as one of the favorites to win the Stanley Cup. But oddsmakers aren’t as enthusiastic about the team’s chances as in years past. Colorado has +1,000 odds — meaning a $100 bet would win $1,000 — to win its fourth Stanley Cup this season, according to Bally Bet.
