Peyton Manning is obviously a big part of our 4th quarter success and our defense has been able to step it up at the tail end of games and I wanted to give credit to our new Strength and Conditioning Coach Luke Richesson. In an interview with ESPN's Colin Cowturd, Eric Decker explains that his conditioning at this point of the season is way ahead from last year. It shows in his play on the field this year along with Thomas and the ageless Stokley.
On Offense, even with Peyton's fast paced, no huddle Offense, I don't get the sense that the players on our team are much more tired in the second half of games as they were last year. They seem fresher and quicker in the second half of games than our opponents.
I have seen the Broncos players not tiring as quickly in games as in the past and I have to give a large amount of credit to Coach Richesson for stressing conditioning to our players and giving them a program that maximizes their stamina.
My two cents, for what it's worth...
