    Reading things like this really makes me think that we are going to get coverage sacks on Cutler in week 1.

    <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>ENGLEWOOD -- With his diabetes and his passes both under control, quarterback Jay Cutler looked very impressive on the Denver Broncos' first workout of training camp.

    His top target wasn't nearly so sharp.

    Brandon Marshall, whose offseason was besmirched by a serious arm injury, another run-in with the law and a summons to the commissioner's office, was gassed throughout the Friday morning workout, taking a knee after just about every route he ran.

    When it was over, Marshall trudged off the practice fields with his right shoe in his hand, saying he couldn't stop to speak with reporters because he had to go see a doctor.

    Was he OK?

    "Oh, yeah," Marshall said before slipping into team headquarters.

    He was mostly quiet on the field, too.

    "I think he's a little out of shape,"Cutler said. "I mean, he needs to run a little bit. But he caught the ball well and he's physical. I'm excited to see him in a few weeks."

    Commissioner Roger Goodell is pondering punishment for the enigmatic 24-year-old wide receiver who has been arrested three times in the last year and is due in court in September on a drunken driving charge.

    The Broncos expect to hear back from the league about a possible suspension as early as next week.


    Marshall missed most of the team's offseason workouts after a freak accident that landed him in the operating room for surgery on his right arm and called into question his maturity level again.

    "It's time for me to grow up," Marshall said afterward, pledging to be a better citizen and teammate.

    Marshall, a fourth-round draft choice in 2006 out of Central Florida, blossomed into the Broncos' best receiver last year, catching 102 passes for 1,325 yards and seven touchdowns.

    He started Friday's workout with a large bandage on his right arm but he later removed it.</div>

    You knew going in that all the hype regarding the Donkeys would center around whether Cutler step up and take them to the promised land.... or at least the playoffs. No Jim Mora quotes here. lol.

    Its my pledge to avoid Fox Sports Rocky Mtn this season. For some reason, their lack of objectivity makes my head hurt.
