Denver Broncos vs. Arizona Cardinals: Peyton Manning Preparing Against Coaches That Know His Game
In the NFL, the Denver Broncos lost Week 3 against the world champions, the Seattle Seahawks. Now they are back home to face against another NFC West team, the Arizona Cardinals. However, the Cardinals are difficult opponents as they are the second-best team in their division and even in their conference.
The Cardinals will be a tough team to fight against as they are good at both sides of the ball and the Broncos want to get back on the winning side. However, to do that they will need to improve on some areas they have been struggling with all year like their passing. This year, the Broncos are having trouble moving the ball around and will struggle against a tougher defensive opponent like the Cardinals.
Last year, the Broncos were averaging 375 yards per game but this year, it went down to 260 yards per game and it's a huge difference. While it might be concerning that the Arizona's head coach Bruce Arians and assistant head coach Tom Moore know quarterback Peyton Manning, it still boils down to players.
"You're still about the players on the field that you're real concerned with and Arizona has plenty of those to think about. There are always measures that you take when you're playing against an ex-coach or ex-player that you try to protect yourself with," Manning said.
"It's still about football and kind of block-and tackle and play pitch-and-catch. So you certainly take it into account but if you're so worried about a play they might know and you don't throw a good pass versus Patrick Peterson then I think you're hurting yourself. I still think you got to be focused on the execution," Manning continued.
