Osweiler capitalizes on Manning’s day off
Right now he’s being looked at as a cheater and we honestly don’t know if he’s cheated before, but you still have to look at the numbers he’s put up in his career. But I think it’ll be good for him. I feel good but I have to kick them a little bit straighter. Training camp resumes on Thursday at 10 AM MST.
Before missing the last few plays of practice, Latimer was clearly the star of the day continuing a strong offseason. “Other than that, they’re going to continue rotating”. Once regular season hits the pressures of training camp will pale in comparison to the national stage on Sundays.
The Broncos did not have a walkthrough Monday evening.
Jul 31, 2015; Englewood, CO, USA; Denver Broncos quarterback Peyton Manning (18) prepares to throw during training camp activities at the UCHealth Training Center.
Although Brock Osweiler has played sparingly in his first few seasons in the league, he is still the key reserve at quarterback due to the aforementioned injury concern to Manning. He checked down often and found Emmanuel Sanders, who continues to look in mid-season form already.
Kubiak is looking for Osweiler to polish not only his command of the huddle but also his footwork.
In each of those four preseason games, and during these practices, Osweiler will be under a microscope from fans, media and team officials who judge Osweiler’s prospects as the QB of the future in Denver, as general manager John Elway and others in the organization have prophesied since drafting the Arizona State junior in the second round in 2012. “As a head coach, I have used it before, and I think there’s too much on your plate, so I think somebody else needs to be the direct line to him”.
Though Manning declined to reveal specific things his father taught him or tips he now teaches young quarterbacks at the family’s annual passing academy, to Manning, throwing well on the run is more about technique, footwork and body position than it is about pure athleticism. “Being a guy who’s done that job for a living, when the team gets thrown your way that’s a lot on your plate”. Now it’s a wide-open affair that includes incumbent kickoff returner Omar Bolden and wide receivers Jordan Norwood and Solomon Patton.
I can’t remember his school, or his name, or what he looked like. The music stopped once team drills began. Malik Jackson was once again relegated to stretching on the sidelines due to a strained calf muscle. He started slow early in practice. “I think it’s a great situation for Peyton to be in, too, …to be able to play for a guy like Gary with his knowledge and experience that he has on the offensive side”. We need him to show up and quick and today was his day to be a starter.
“There’s a technique to the insanity”, Kubiak stated.
If you’re hoping for the SNL skit relived with Manning barking at the kids for not making catches this isn’t the video for you because these kids ran some great routes, caught the ball and then got some high fives from one of the greatest quarterbacks in the NFL.
