INVESCO FIELD — Broncos lead 17-10 here midway through the third quarter, with positives abounding for both the Denver offense and defense.
The highlights so far:
- Jay Cutler, who completed his first 12 passes, the longest streak of his career.
- Rookie WR Eddie Royal, who caught 2 passes for 67 yards in the first half.
- 0 points scored by the Dallas starters.
- “Special” teams by the punters: Sam Paulescu makes a tackle; Brett Kerns scoops up a block and runs for a first down.
- No more rain! Edit at 9:10 p.m.: Scratch that, the sky is spitting again. Fans are pulling out their ponchos.
Broncos WR Brandon Marshall has taken off his pads and cleats for the second half, and has his left leg heavily wrapped. Daniel Graham left the game with a hamstring injury.
INVESCO FIELD — Well, it looks like the rain has finally stopped. Our friendly public address announcer in the press box just told us there is a 60 percent chance of rain for the rest of the night. Keep your fingers crossed that the showers are finished.
A couple of pregame notes:
- No surprises in the Broncos’ inactive list: C Tom Nalen (knee), CB Champ Bailey (hamstring), LB Boss Bailey (ankle), LB Louis Green (neck), WR Darrell Jackson (ankle), RB Ryan Torain (elbow).
- The starting lineup changes include: Casey Wiegmann at center, Jamie Winborn at SLB, Domonique Foxworth at LCB, and Eddie Royal at WR.
- Niko Koutouvides will be the first-team middle linebacker. He practiced with the first-team all week. Nate Webster started last week at Houston.
- I’m most interested to watch the battle in the trenches, for both the Broncos offensive and defensive lines. Any positions you’re particulary interested in seeing?
- This is my first time at Invesco, so I’m not sure if this is a tradition, but they had some sort of dog agility race on the field pregame. If I were the turf crew, that would make me a bit nervous. Those dogs were pretty well behaved though, considering the arena. My dog would have lost her mind.
No scribbled messages on his shoulder pads this time. No trash talk,
either. Just Brandon Marshall letting his play do all the debating with
a silenced Adam “Pacman” Jones.

Jay Cutler and the Broncos offense are using the preseason to get their timing down to a science. And if the team's preseason home opener is any indication, things are coming together quite nicely.
The Broncos offense showed off its fire power in the first half of the game.
In an Aug. 17 story about the Dallas Cowboys-Denver Broncos preseason game, The Associated Press reported erroneously that cornerback Adam Jones was in coverage on Brandon Marshall’s touchdown catch. The cornerback was Mike Jenkins.
The NFL Draft is one of the most anticipated off-season spectacles around. It’s a time where teams have a chance to identify their future in hopes of building a Super Bowl championship team. Scout.com’s Chris Steuber says that the 2004 NFL Draft is one of the best ever and names 25 players to back up his premise.
