Hello Colorado Rapids fans! Welcome to season nine of Holding The High Line with Rabbi and Red! On this episode, we do our full 2026 Colorado Rapids season preview! Before we preview, we discuss Matt Doyle leaving MLS dot com. Mark gives his key observations from Rapids Media Day. We talk Miguel Navarro returning to the Rapids and the end of preseason. Here are our XI questions that will define the 2026 Colorado Rapids: What is Matt Wells' game model and will it work? What is Paxten Aaronson's role and how will the midfield work without Cole Bassett? Will Rafael Navarro stay and can the team support him offensively? What are our expectations for Dante Sealy given the $1.9 million price tag? Can Hamzat Ojediran be Hamzat The Destroyer and make the team concede less goals? Who is starting at left center back and left back and will they be good enough? Who starts at the other winger opposite Dante Sealy and will they be good enough? Who will be the captain and who will provide the vocal leadership this team needs? How will Denver Summit impact the Rapids? Can the Rapids capitalize on the game at Mile High and the World Cup? Will KSE bring back the members of the front office who are in a contract year? Oh, and we also talk about the Seattle Sounders game. Gulp. We discuss a few pieces of content during the episode. Here's Mark's Western Conference preview. Here's Matt Pollard's article about Matt Doyle. For those interested in MLS Fantasy, here's links for Kickbase, Fantasy UTD, and Sofascore.
