Initially one could be forgiven for being surprised at the low cost for one of the most athletic tight-ends in the NFL. Horrigan nabbed Manning’s record 509th touchdown pass once Manning’s scripted keep-away celebration skit was finished during a Broncos’ game last season against San Francisco. “Everyone’s asking that question, where did I go?” Kubiak said TE Vernon Davis had a good week of practice since joining the team Tuesday and “hopefully he’ll be a big part” of Denver’s offense.

The New York Jets announced they will start quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick this weekend against the Jacksonville Jaguars, according to National Football League reporter Jeremy Bergman.
Davis hasn’t been fully healthy this season, playing in just six games so far, but he is very much capable of turning things around quickly now that he is seemingly healthy.
The 31-year-old added, “No one really excelled, no one really had success because the team, we didn’t have success”. No one really had success. “Like on the side when we’re doing defensive periods, he’s working with (Davis) specifically”. Manning arrives in Indy with a chance to become the league’s winningest quarterback as well as the career leader in passing yardage. It is entirely possible Vernon’s struggles had nothing to do with his own distractions and injuries, but make of it what you will. I didn’t expect him to invoke his Captain Torpedo distractions, but it is still interesting to read what he has to say. “You don’t look at them and say there’s a weakness”, Chudzinski said. You can bet that being able to set the record in front of the team that let him go (but still loves him) would make it extra sweet for Peyton when he does get the record. Also, because Manning has played for two horse-themed National Football League teams, the beer will contain oats. “Are you kidding me?'” Davis recounted. “It was a very emotional day for me during that time, telling everyone goodbye and my teammates, seeing them for the last time”.
Of course, it isn’t completely fair to claim Davis will not work out in Denver just because the Harvin and Richardson trades didn’t pan out, but it should show owners just how hard it is to adapt to a new system in the middle of the season. Peyton is one of those guys that every wide receiver dreams about having. There’s way more gunslinger in Luck’s game than I thought when he entered the NFL.
“Don’t forget, these guys knocked us out of the playoffs previous year, so don’t sleep on them”, said Wolfe. They were good at their craft.
Denver quarterback Peyton Manning, who has struggled all season, produced his best effort of the season, throwing for a season-high 340 yards in the win against the Packers. “It’s a whole other level”.

Davis was immediately listed on the second team of the depth chart, behind starter Owen Daniels but ahead of fifth-year veteran Virgil Green. Denver is coming off a signature win against Green Bay, holding mighty Aaron Rodgers to a grand total of 50 net passing yards on his 25 dropbacks.
