According to this article by the Associated Press, Peyton Manning has more or less been put in charge of practices up in Denver, which means they're starting to run his signature no-huddle format.
I can't tell you how excited I am to see him keep playing the same way I've watched him for the last decade or so.
As the article states, while the change to the offense isn't exactly official yet, they're already practicing the hurry-up, no-huddle style that made Peyton and his Colts famous over the last several years. I definitely see the Broncos going far this year. It's nice to see that all of the players have welcomed him into the team, and are ready and willing to be molded by the master. It's also going to be interesting to see how the altitude change will affect Manning, as well as all the other new players to the high-up environment. It sounds like it might actually be an advantage to them, as going into lower altitudes will lower the pressure on their bodies, and extend their performance, while when other teams come into Denver, they'll have to adjust big time.
While I'm still not completely comfortable with being a "Broncos fan", I'm definitely excited to see what happens this coming season, not only with Manning's new team, but also with the reconstructed Colts. This is definitely a love/hate relationship I have with all the changes...
