Jay Cutler participated in practice on Wednesday and told the Denver Post that his leg had improved significantly over the past few days. "I feel all right," Cutler said before practice. "I feel better. Still sore, and we're going to take it day by day. I'm pretty happy with where I'm at. It feels a lot better. The first couple of days it was really sore. Today it felt a lot better." Cutler is a tough kid and it appears as if he is determined to make his 13th consecutive start against the Chiefs on Sunday. "He'll play if he can. If there isn't a setback, he should be ready to go," Shanahan said.
Of course the Broncos don't want to tip their hand too early and want to force the Chiefs to prepare for both Ramsey and Cutler. Coach Herm Edwards seems to be confident that Cutler would play, but they are also studying Patrick Ramsey's performance, or lack there of, just in case.
Clearly Cutler is the key to the offense and without him the chances for a Broncos victory are about as good as a one legged man in an ass kicking contest. I think Cutler is sending a message to his team, that he is not giving up on this season and he is going to lead this team injured or not. This is exactly what we want to see. Cutler may not be an "in your face" leader like some QBs or players in the NFL, but he is leading by example. I would rather have a player that can walk the walk then just talk the talk.
I have heard that some fans would like let our young star rest and heal fully since they feel the season is practically a lost cause. That is absolutely ridiculous. We need to give our young players reps because that is the only way they are going to improve. And in case you forgot we are only 1 game out of first place in the pitiful AFC West. The remainder of our games are against teams that are .500 or below, with the exception of the Titans. Character is not made when everything is going right, it's when your backs are against the wall and nobody believes you can win. We will soon see what type of character this team has.
