Manning says he has no answers for his injured left foot
Now, they prepare for division rival, the San Diego Chargers.
“Peyton just had some great ideas about what he saw watching what was going on”, coach Gary Kubiak said Monday.
Osweiler’s stats may not have been extraordinary, but the stat sheet showed him with 23/42, 270 yards, TD, INT and when he moved the ball, especially in the second half, he dispersed it to his key playmakers when needed and made several throws that only a few quarterbacks could accomplish in the snowy game. At this time, Peyton Manning is certainly not that guy.
New England Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski could miss only one game with a right knee injury suffered in the fourth quarter of Sunday’s 30-24 overtime loss to the Denver Broncos. “It was good to see him do that and we will see how it will go going forward”.
“Some of those are his (responsibility) that we’ve got to get corrected”, Kubiak said.
And that means he’s not thinking about the status of the quarterback position and whether he or Brock Osweiler will play if he can fully recover from the foot injury. “I’m not smart enough to follow all the medical jargon, but he said the important part was torn, so he’d probably call it a full tear – or a tear, I guess”. “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”.
Before the season started, no one would’ve ever believed Osweiler would be capable of such a feat.
“Something I was told very young in my football career was that the game is not over until zeros are up there on the clock”, Osweiler said. I don’t think I’ve ever been so pissed off after a loss.
“I’m really impressed with how he’s approached that”. That’s the main thing, just getting it out of my head.
The old quarterback, the one wearing a blue walking cast on his left foot, slipped a gray overcoat over his shoulders, and slowly walked through the most raucous postgame locker room his team had experienced all season. “So I think it’s sort of a matter of discipline whether you take it off or not”.
He has been sacked eight times over the last two weeks, most in the National Football League during that time. We’re not telling you when he’s coming back. “I’ve always been a team player, try to be a good teammate, whether it’s answering any questions that Brock may have or (quarterbacks coach) Greg Knapp may have”. Those are numbers that Denver needs to take a hard look at and see that he is successful.
