| Broncos QB Peyton Manning Blames Himself For Passing Woes | | |
Five months into his comeback in Colorado, Manning's timing with his targets isn't where he'd like it to be. And the three teammates he has the most rhythm with — wide receiver Eric Decker and former Colts teammates Stokley and Jacob Tamme — have all made big blunders in the Broncos' two preseason games. Stokley rounded out a route that led to an interception at the goal line in Chicago, and Decker and Tamme dropped passes that stalled a promising 2-minute drive inside the Seattle 10. Ever the gentleman, Manning upbraided only himself. "At the end of the day, they're interceptions," Manning said. "The quarterback signs the check on every ball he throws. There's an old saying that the most important part of every play is to possess the ball at the end of that play. That's the quarterback's job. I have to do a better job of that." So for all those radio callers finding fault with Manning, he's with you. "Two interceptions. Two in the red zone, two weeks in a row. Just can't have it," Manning said. "Tipped balls, whatever it is. Can't have it. Got to find a way to protect the ball better, ensure we get some kind of points when we're down there in the red zone."
