BRONCOS QUARTERBACK JAY CUTLER
On practicing with the Dallas Cowboys
"I thought it went well. Obviously, they are one of the best teams in the NFL. They're big, physical, and fast. It went well though. We are going to go back and look at the tapes to see what we did well and what we didn't do so well on, but it's definitely good to get somebody else in here instead of the same defenses over and over again. I thought it went well."
On if practicing against the Cowboys is a measuring stick
"That's exactly what it is for us. We have a young team with a lot of new guys. Dallas is one of the top three teams in the NFL. It gives us a good measuring stick to see where we are at and exactly how far we need to go."
On what the Broncos will learn from the Cowboys
"Dallas is Dallas, and they are going to do whatever they are going to do. We are the Broncos, and we are not going to try and emulate them. We are going to handle ourselves exactly the way our owner does and the way Mike Shanahan does. We are going to be first class and go about our business."
On former Cowboys quarterback and current Dallas Quarterbacks Coach Wade Wilson, who also has Type 1 diabetes
"I talked with him before practice, and he has dealt with it for a long time. He said it was manageable, just like I have been doing for the last four or five months. He went through his career with it, and I don't see any reason why I can't."
On the Broncos' offensive line
"We have two young guys on the outside (Ryan Clady and Ryan Harris). They are young, but they are fighting. I think they are going to be good, if not great tackles in the future. Both Ryan's got a taste against Houston, and this is going to be a good test for them in the next two days. I'm comfortable, and I think they have done a great job so far."
On the intensity level rising with practicing against the Cowboys
"You see some guys breathing a little bit harder. Brandon (Marshall) was gassed because he was so juiced up. You have adrenaline running, and it is fun. It is game-like out here, and you get to see somebody different, go against different looks and gauge where you are at. I love doing it."
More on former Cowboys QB Wade Wilson
"There have been a lot of people that have played with diabetes. Even now, athletes have diabetes, especially Type 1, and they are playing. There are people that play with pumps on, so it definitely can be done. I am managing it right now and it is going well."
