The Broncos offensive coordinator was the first person interviewed for the head coaching job made vacant in January when GM John Elway parted with Fox.

Gase looked at the Broncos interview as a way to get better at them. Fangio’s scouting report summed Osweiler up: “He’s got a big arm, he’s athletic… he’ll scramble much more than Peyton would”.
Peyton Manning and DeMarcus Ware will not travel to Chicago with their teammates this weekend so they can focus on their recovery from injuries that kept them out of practice all week.
“I don’t think anyone in this locker room is doubting 18 (Manning), or putting 18 on the backburner”.
There should be plenty of interest surrounding Osweiler and his offense, but the Broncos will also have to worry about slowing down an offense that just put up 37 points and 397 yards against a solid St. Louis Rams defense. Remember, Peyton was playing with a running game that hasn’t gotten on track, and has thrown a ton of passes in a system that he clearly didn’t sign up to be a part of. The Broncos lost to the Chiefs at home, 29-13. According to head coach Gary Kubiak via the Denver Post, Hillman will get the start against the Bears, but might not get the bulk of the carries. That opportunity awaits them this Sunday with the Denver Broncos in town. Retirement was a big question during the offseason, but the rumor was quickly dispelled after the QB signed a deal with Denver to lower his contract to a value of $15 million for the season, from the $19 million he was originally supposed to be paid before.
Yes. As soon as he’s healthy, he’ll be back on the field.. However, the Bears have committed only foru turnovers each of their last two games.
GROUNDED: Denver’s ground game stalled the past two weeks on the heels of back-to-back games against Cleveland and Green Bay with more than 150 yards rushing. It may have taken seven years, but Jay Cutler finally gets to face the team that game up on the at the time young gunslinger quarterback. His counterpart, rookie Adrian Amos, comes in at No. 48.
“There’s a book on every player in this league”. It wouldn’t be a surprise to see Davis catch a deep ball in this one.
And that takes the shine off a pass defense that is simply phenomenal and should be able to stifle most comeback attempts before they start.
Broncos backup cornerback Kayvon Webster didn’t accompany the team on their trip to Detroit against the Lions in Game 3. But this could be the quarterback that the Broncos need.
The Broncos ran for 69 yards against Kansas City after managing just 35 the previous week against Indianapolis. The Broncos are turning to Blake Osweiler as the starter for this week’s game against Chicago.
While the Bears “D” is not in the same league with Denver’s, it doesn’t line up against the Denver “D” and this is where the Bears could gain an edge.
It was only three seasons ago that Jim Harbaugh’s San Francisco 49ers team was somewhat treading water – a contender, but not really with Alex Smith having shown his limits, at 7-2-1. Kubiak employs a zone blocking scheme, likes to move the pocket and use play action, all of which were challenging with Manning in the gun.
Manning has had a hard season. Manning is the ultimate team player and whatever he’s doing, you can rest assured, that it’s for the best interest of his football team, the Denver Broncos. I’d also hope that Adam Gase calls more roll-out plays to take advantage of Cutler’s mobility.

“They interviewed me”, the Bears’ offensive coordinator said.
