ENGLEWOOD, Colo. Elite Aldon Smith Jersey . -- Peyton Manning is the only four-time MVP in NFL history, hes hoisted a Super Bowl trophy and hosted "Saturday Night Live." Yet, hes never faced scrutiny quite like this. "Ive never had to comment before on incompletions in practice, so this is new to me," the Denver Broncos quarterback said with a chuckle when peppered with questions about some errant deep throws Monday. "I will say that when you are throwing deep balls, the idea is to take your shot. Its not the highest percentage play but were going to keep throwing them," Manning said. "As they always say, in a game if you throw five deep balls and you complete one of them, thats actually a great thing. I mean, youre taking a shot and trying to send a message to the defence to hopefully back them off." Coach John Fox also had some fun with the medias steely-eyed focus on the Mannings timing with his receivers on deeper routes. "You guys obviously pay a little more attention to that than I do, but I think our passing game is way further along than it was this time a year ago, obviously, because we werent even here," Fox said. "Again, were not keeping stats now, were just installing and getting guys a comfort level." The key right now with Manning isnt so much his accuracy down the field but his arm strength as he continues to rehab from a nerve injury that caused weakness in his throwing arm, forced him to sit out last season and led to his release from the Indianapolis Colts. And Manning showed excellent zing and zip Monday as the Broncos began four more days of voluntary off-season workouts, otherwise known as organized team activities, or OTAs. "I think hes doing tremendous," Fox said. "Physically, he looks the same to me as hes always looked. Like any new player out here, its a new language and hes making adjustments to that just like everybody else. Were hoping they get better every day." In the two previous practices that the media were allowed to watch, Manning looked good on short and intermediate passes but sometimes lacked oomph on the occasional deep ball. Not this time. If anything, some of his tosses were too strong, sailing past his receivers outstretched arms. In the two-minute drill that capped the workout, he hit a sliding Brandon Stokley with a sensational 40-yard throw, then faked the spike and found Eric Decker alone in the corner for the 5-yard TD. Manning said hes still searching for a comfort zone and that his recovery is an ongoing process. "Thats the good thing about these OTAs is you really see kind of where you are on certain plays," Manning said. "Because you are making different types of throws and so youre learning a lot and you can know what to continue to work on even harder in your rehab. And you know, some things you may just not quite be ready for yet." Manning would prefer to take each and every snap at practice but hes had to let the other QBs take plenty of snaps as he and head athletic trainer Steve "Greek" Antonopulos have worked out "pitch counts," which Manning expects hell adhere to for several more months. "I think that will play a role throughout the entire season," he said. Manning seems to be settling in nicely with the new terminology and playbook after 14 years in Indy. "The tough thing right now is were installing new plays, so were running each play one time, whereas what you really want to do is run one play 10 times versus every type of defence where you truly master that play," Manning said. "And so, thats, you know, sort of the growing pains that you go through because you dont have the exact feel for a new play that were putting in. ... "I think as minicamp comes up next week, well be able to start repeating some of those plays and then certainly in training camp, the install should be in and you should be repeating those plays from Day 1 and getting more and more comfortable each time." Monday was Mannings chance to show the Broncos and himself just how strong his arm has gotten by taking a series of shots down the field against the likes of veteran cornerbacks Champ Bailey, Tracy Porter and Drayton Florence. "We get great looks vs. our defence, you get great coverage. So, thats something that the more work you get, the better youre going to be," Manning said. "I keep going back to, its going to be hard to get a more challenging look than going against some of the guys in our secondary, which is only going to make us better." And this star-studded secondary would be hard-pressed to find a better test than it has in Manning. "I think it goes both ways," said Bailey, who picked off one of Mannings shorter passes Monday. "I dont think hes had a secondary -- at least on the corner -- thats been this good. It gives him a good look. Weve never seen a quarterback like that around here. That speaks for itself." Manning was particularly impressive in the 2-minute drill, looking every bit like the quarterback who used to pick apart defences in the hurry-up offence all those years in Indianapolis. "Well, its tough, because thats his thing," Bailey said. "Hes a quick guy; he knows what he wants to do. When he makes his mind up, the decisions made, and youve got to be in the right places, and thats tough on the defence." NaVorro Bowman Womens Jersey .

Tittle 49ers Jersey . The English were fortunate to take Sundays quarterfinal match to a penalty shootout, which they lost, after being outclassed in Kyiv. It wasnt an isolated incident. Despite holding France and beating Sweden and Ukraine, England spent a great deal of time on the back foot at Euro 2012.LONDON -- Although Rafa Benitez cant be blamed for Chelseas current plight in the Champions League, elimination this week would give his many critics further ammunition at the end of a tortuous first two weeks in charge of the club. Roberto Di Matteos final act as Chelsea manager was to oversee a 3-0 loss at Juventus that leaves the team on the cusp of becoming the first reigning champion to fail to qualify for the knockout stage of the competition. For the holders to squeeze through, they will need to beat FC Nordsjaelland and hope already-qualified Shakhtar Donetsk defeat Juventus in Ukraine in the other Group E match. Only two other last-16 spots are up for grabs in the final round of matches, with Benfica and Celtic battling for second place in Group G while Galatasaray and Cluj vying for the runner-up spot in Group H. But much of the focus will be on Chelsea, which only seven months ago was targeting a prosperous future among Europes elite after winning its first Champions League title. The London club was placed in a tough group in the defence of the trophy, however, and has only won two of its five matches -- one of the victories being sealed in stoppage time at home to Shakhtar. The change in manager hasnt had the desired effect for owner Roman Abramovich, with Benitez yet to win after three Premier League games and facing the wrath of Chelsea fans angry at Di Matteos abrupt dismissal. Benitez even admitted after Saturdays 3-1 loss at West Ham that he wasnt sure hed see out his seven-month interim stint, "I would say that it depends on the things that we can do on the pitch," Benitez said. "So, if we improve on the pitch, it will be easier for everyone." Chelsea denied Monday that Avram Grant, a former interim manager himself at the club in the 2007-08 season, had been lined up for a return to Stamford Bridge as an advisor to Benitez. The odds arent completely against Chelsea, which should comfortably see off Nordsjaelland -- a Danish side with just one point so far. Although Shakhtar is through, it will want to qualify in first place to seet up what would probably be an easier match in the last 16. Joe Montana Womens Jersey. Juventus, which was held 2-2 at home by the Ukrainian champions, would finish top of the group with a win but isnt likely to settle for just a point, according to midfielder Claudio Marchisio. "We cant go out onto the pitch hoping to take it easy," said Marchisio, who scored twice in a 3-0 derby win for the Serie A leaders over local rival Torino on Saturday. "Weve got to play like Juve. Yesterdays win gives us a lot of motivation to face Shakhtar, which I believe is the toughest team in the group." Celtic and Benfica are level on points going into their final matches Wednesday, with the Portuguese team ahead courtesy of a better head-to-head record from their two matches. Celtic may well be the slight favourite to advance as while the Scottish champions play Spartak Moscow at home, Benfica has the daunting prospect of a trip to Barcelona, which is guaranteed to top the group. "We are not counting on Barcelona to do the job for us," Celtic defender Efe Ambrose said. "We have to do that at Celtic Park." Galatasaray and Cluj are also tied on seven points, with the second-place Turks holding the head-to-head advantage. Galatasaray just needs a win at eliminated Braga to progress ahead of the Romanian side, which visits first-place Manchester United. "No one should be fooled by the fact that Braga is last-placed in the group," Galatasaray defender Emmanuel Eboue said. "They beat us 2-0 here (in Istanbul). We need to concentrate hard and fight hard." Top spot -- and what could prove to be a crucial seeding for the knockout stage -- is yet to be decided in four of the groups, with AC Milan, Arsenal and Paris Saint-Germain among the teams hoping to move up a place from second. English champion Manchester City needs to beat Borussia Dortmund away and hope Ajax loses at Real Madrid to finish third in Group D and qualify for the Europa League. City was eliminated from the Champions League a fortnight ago after a home draw to Madrid. ' ' '
