Broncos at Bears: Quotables

Head Coach John Fox

On injuries during the game
“Injuries from the game: Danny Trevathan had an ankle sprain, Chris Gronkowski had a groin pull, Chris Clark as well had a groin pull. All three of those left the game. Not serious, but it’s something we’ll manage moving forward.”

On Peyton Manning’s performance
“I thought it was good. It was a very good first outing. There were actually some bright spots all through the offense, defense and kicking game. For a guy that hasn’t played in a season, had some medical issues, I think he’s done outstanding, which you can expect from him. I thought it was very good.”

On Manning’s intercepted pass aimed at Brandon Stokley
“The ball got popped up a little bit, flopped around and their guy made a good play on it. Those things happen. I thought we rebounded pretty well. There were a couple turnovers in the game, probably a few more penalties than either team would like, but very typical of a first preseason game.”

On Manning’s third-down conversion to Eric Decker
“He’s going to continue to improve. So hopefully that’s the whole challenge of our team. It’s a good first start, a good first outing. It’s what we do from it from here on that’s going to count.”

On Thursday night, rookie quarterback Brock Osweiler will get his first taste of live NFL action, and he knows exactly how he wants it to go.

“As a quarterback in the preseason, my goals would be to move the offense, get first downs, have a high completion percentage, score points when we’re in the red zone and don’t turn the football over,” he said.

Playing Tall

May 11th, 2012 - 4:23pm by Gray CaldwellOther posts by

Quarterback Brock Osweiler stands 6-feet-7-inches tall.

The Broncos just want to make sure he plays that tall.

Osweiler spent the past few months working on his delivery and footwork, making sure his throwing motion is ready for NFL action.

“The main thing is getting my elbow raised up,” he explained. “A lot of times in college, my elbow would drop below my shoulder, if you will. When you do that, you lose velocity, you lose accuracy, you’re less consistent with your throws. We basically made a huge point to bring that elbow up to a more traditional throwing motion and get it above my shoulder.”

“Now the biggest thing is to transition those training sessions out here to the practice field.”

After one day of practice, Head Coach John Fox said he has noticed Osweiler is starting to do just that.

“He has to use his height advantage a little bit better with that higher delivery,” he explained. “He’s an accurate passer and I think he became more accurate.”

Osweiler Stands Out

In March, the Broncos signed their quarterback of the present in four-time NFL MVP Peyton Manning.

On Friday, the Broncos drafted who could be Manning’s successor in 6-foot-7 quarterback Brock Osweiler.

“I’m just absolutely completely estactic to be a Denver Bronco,” Osweiler said. “It’s a dream come true. I absolutely can’t wait to get to Denver and can’t wait to get to work and give everything I have to that organization.”
