Denver Broncos RUMORS: Brock Osweiler Will Start For Remainder Of 2015 Season
The New England Patriots’ shot at a flawless season has gone and Tom Brady isn’t pleased, although there was some good news for the Patriots as it emerged that Rob Gronkowski appears to have escaped serious injury. The Broncos defeated the Patriots 30-24.
Out with a partially torn plantar fascia, Manning, who had the cast removed from his left foot Wednesday, was in attendance and met with Osweiler at halftime to discuss strategy.
On the winning play, Osweiler, who swears he never let a day go by where he didn’t learn a lesson from Manning, diagnosed the defense and checked into a run.
Peyton Manning’s days in Denver are numbered. One was negated by a Broncos penalty, while the other wiped away a fourth-quarter third-down conversion. “Nothing has changed”, Kubiak said at his press conference.
Gary Kubiak and John Elway don’t have to cross that bridge for a couple weeks at least and it’s likely that if Manning is healthy, he will get the chance to start again. Has the down time caused Manning to reflect on his football mortality? Kubiak said guard Evan Mathis “didn’t have any setbacks on his ankle, so hopefully he’ll be better this week”. “I’ve calmed down a little bit and we’ve moved on from that game because we are facing a great opponent this week in the Eagles”. “That’s what he’s doing right now, and the next step will be when that comes off for good”.
Despite the 39-year-old franchise star’s absence, backup quarterback Brock Osweiler has been playing well taking up the starting duties.
“Everybody wants to know what he said”. “I was like, ‘Whoa!’ You know, he’s got a huge frame and they’re going to attack it, but he’s a tough kid, he’s going to get up and he’s going to do what’s best for the team”.
ENGLEWOOD, Colo. – Brock Osweiler waited 43 months to make his first National Football League start.
He has caught 57 passes for 931 yards and nine touchdowns over 11 games this season.
Before the season started, no one would’ve ever believed Osweiler would be capable of such a feat.
“I think Rob’s trying to play within the rules 100 percent of the time”. He’s very comfortable in his preparation, his work and obviously he’s confident in his abilities. “Sometimes officials miss it too, I totally understand that”.
Manning visited foot and ankle specialist Dr. Robert Anderson last week, when a cast was put on his foot to immobilize it. Manning said doctors wanted to put another cast on his foot Wednesday when he asked if “there was another option”, and he was given the walking boot instead.
Arizona coach Bruce Arians said Monday that Johnson was hurt when he took a helmet to the knee in Sunday’s 19-13 victory at San Francisco. “We’re just in the driver’s seat right now”, Redskins defensive end Jason Hatcher said. Is he comfortable enough to go in there and battle with Trevor to be our 2?
