The burden of excellence falls on Peyton Manning. Together, they’ll do a little of this, a little of that. Sanders has been working out of the slot more frequently during training camp and is expected to see a lot more time there than previous seasons.

Osweiler stepped in for starter Peyton Manning, who received a scheduled day off from the grind of training camp at the UCHealth Training Center. And there is another important layer to this adjustment. From Tebow to Manning they have dominated the division. “For a quarterback and as a coach, [he’s] a guy’s best friend. And I want to stay that course”, Kubiak said. “Obviously, he has done that well for a long time”. I did that in Houston with Knapper. There were many big plays that were made during the red zone drills.
“There is a method to the madness”, Kubiak said. I will say, my dad did throw real well on the run and could run well at the same time.
For a cerebral quarterback like Manning, he can’t argue with this logic. He remains the maestro of the audible, the master of the dummy calls – “Omaha”, anyone?
“I believe in the same things as he does”.
Demaryius Thomas should stick to his day job as a wide receiver, because apparently he would not make a very good cornerback.
“I’m fine with it”, Manning said of the coach-mandated rest for him and other players. It’s about executing them. I actually think I throw pretty well on the run for a guy that doesn’t really run well.
We are nearly a full week into training camp with the Denver Broncos.
While the Broncos underachieved last season, Manning did not under Gase. Because at 37, 38, 39 years old, you can’t make that up at the end. Or any age, for that matter. DeMarcus Ware had a productive year last season recording 10 sacks but slowed down towards the home stretch as he failed to record a sack in the last 5 games, including the playoff game against the Indianapolis Colts. Unable to plant consistently and use his legs, something that surfaced periodically in November, Manning lost his laser accuracy and lacked velocity to overcome command issues.
Before missing the last few plays of practice, Latimer was clearly the star of the day continuing a strong offseason. He showed them off with rollouts in Friday’s first practice. It will be interesting to see how Gary Kubiak’s offense does against the Seattle defense.
“He’s been the best in the business, and he has been doing it for many years”. Will that be minimized with a new play-calling protocol? Daniels gives Manning a veteran presence at tight end after the loss of Julius Thomas in free-agency. We had some checks, but not as much as Peyton has in his back pocket.
“I wanted to go over and run a couple routes with Peyton”.
And at that, Kubiak simply shakes his head. He is trying to win games and likes the process in place. Austin had been limited the past few days since battling heat issues, but Kubiak said it was a lingering groin injury that kept him out Tuesday.

“I do know it is arduous on him, and everyone knows that, however I feel he understands why we’re making an attempt to do”.
