Broncos Star Discusses Recovery, QB Situation
So, they have to protect the passer better in San Diego this weekend.
“We’re totally committed to getting our quarterback, getting Peyton healthy, and getting him back and nothing’s changed”, Kubiak said, via ESPN.
“Yeah, real concerned”, coach Gary Kubiak acknowledged this week. Has the down time caused Manning to reflect on his football mortality? A duel between two all-time great quarterbacks that have re-written the record book so many times, your brain might explode simply by thinking about it.
Add all of this up and it seems the Denver Broncos are peaking at the right moment as December is upon us with the home stretch looming ever closer. Kubiak said guard Evan Mathis “didn’t have any setbacks on his ankle, so hopefully he’ll be better this week”. So that’s what he’s doing and the next step is when the boot comes off.
Caldwell and the rest of the Broncos ought to be oozing with confidence heading into Sunday’s matchup with 3-8 San Diego after knocking New England from the ranks of the unbeaten on Sunday.
Brady had expressed frustration with the referees and their calls on Sunday after the game and on sports radio Monday morning, but when asked about it, he said it’s time to move on. That’s what I’m focused on.
When the Broncos were in dire straits, trailing 21-17 in the 4th Quarter, Osweiler led a 5-play 83-yard drive, capped off by a 4-yard touchdown pass to reserve receiver Andre Caldwell that gave the Broncos a 24-21 lead. Brock Osweiler has thrown for 666 yards, four touchdowns and two interceptions while filling in for the legendary QB. Cole sites anonymous sources within the Broncos organization but when BSN Denver reached out to our sources, we received a much different message. The Broncos have refuted the report that Osweiler is their starting quarterback, stating that no decision has been made on their quarterback situation beyond this week, according to the Broncos’ team Twitter account. “I’m trying to get healthy before I can try to get back”. If he’ll just do his job, handle the ball well, handle the team well, then our football team will have a chance to be successful.
And it’s not just Pats fans who think Gronk is getting hosed.
Manning is still working his way back from injury as he wears a walking cast. As we see the rise of the next batch of talented players such as Cam Newton, we must also see the demise of the legends like Peyton Manning. Is he comfortable enough to go in there and battle with Trevor to be our 2? “We didn’t get many [calls] last night”. “There’s things across the board that we need to do a better job of and we can do a better job of”.
“It’s so far ahead of what I’m thinking about”.
