Gary Kubiak likes what he sees so far from the . Especially on offense, where the newly hired coach conducted cla sroom se sions this week to begin mixing elements of his boot-heavy, play-action attack with last year's playbook. So far, so good. "Cro sing the schemes, so to speak, was . It was really more about verbiage than anything else," Kubiak said Friday, per the team's official website. "What I tried to do is the things that were very close, I tried to hang on to the Jordan Staal Jersey verbiage that they had been talking here in the past, because I think that made it easier for the players. "The things that were new, we hung on to the verbiage that I used throughout my career ... Peyton and the guys have adjusted to Patrick Brown Jersey that very well. But I don't see that being very difficult," Kubiak said. "Ball is ball, and scheme -- how you go about it -- a lot of it's the same. ... We've made a lot of progre s, especially this first week." Kubiak was adamant at last month's NFL Annual Meeting that he wouldn't force Manning into a playbook that didn't suit his gifts. Bottom line: We won't see Peyton rolling out 35 times a game like some 22-year-old fleet-footed newbie. What we can expect, according to Kubiak, is plenty of no-huddle work, making the most of Manning's gifts to unpack a defense before the snap. Manning's ability to diagnose the opponent will only improve, but it's his arm strength that lingers as a concern after last year's late-season swoon.
