Jim Moore explained how he would radio a play through Manning’s helmet: he would have 30 seconds on the play clock to process the information (How Peyton Manning is Different). Within those 30 seconds, Manning would have to have awareness of his teammates, the opponents defense, and potentially have a back up play if the one given was not appropriate for the action on the field. In the article, “How Peyton Manning is Different,” Moore also explains this remarkable characteristic Manning possessed saying, “he lets that [play] clock go down right to the nth second to read body language.
