So Manning missed practice Wed. with a sore ankle. It will probably be enough to force him to stay in the pocket and not run.

Rest day. Welker and Decker also took the day off.

Non-story...they're all going to be fine on Sunday.

Don't forget too... that he's not just progressing as a passer. He's progressing as a runner. He's starting to get out of bounds better (still taking a few shots), but all in all.. he's not blindly running down the middle of the field.

That's why I feel our run game is so important on those early downs. If we mow through 5-6 yards and face a 3rd and 5... that's territory that Griffin can scramble a bit and hop out of bounds. When it's 3rd and 12...that's where you'll start to see him have to cut up and increase the risk of re injury.

I'd go with unfounded rumors or pure speculation myself.

Sure, and lets hope he can learn to slide. Don't get me wrong, i don't think he needs to be prototype qb to be successful, and we would be foolish not to take advantage of his talent running the ball. I just hope there is a long term plan.

I knew that and that's why I also said it would force him to stay in the pocket. Jokingly of course

Yeah, but before the loss to Indianapolis, Denver had won 17 straight regular season games. Also, I don't think Peyton has ever led an offense as good as this one. And Denver's defense will probably be much improved, with Von Miller returning and Champ Bailey shaking the rust off against the Colts.

[skinsfaninok]

Bailey got hurt in that game and I doubt he plays
