Broncos aren't holding back with Peyton Manning

"No. I'm still the offensive coordinator and I've still got to do a job of preparing the football team every week with the rest of our staff," McCoy said, "and let's plan together and listen to the players and do what we do best."

That means more passes and fewer handoffs or keepers.

Manning is known as a coach on the field, often changing plays at the line of scrimmage after deciphering the defense.

McCoy said he appreciates Manning's famous attention to detail.

"This is the type of player you want to coach," he said. "(I'm) very fortunate. These types of players don't come around very often, so we're going to all take advantage of it."
