The Facts:
Following up on the
ongoing story. ... David Cutcliffe has been watching Manning throw for nearly two decades. And after orchestrating Manning's workouts from the time the QB was cleared by doctors to resume throwing and when Manning signed his contract with the Broncos last week, Cutcliffe saw enough to confidently be able to tell Denver fans that Manning will be just fine. "He could play a game. We've done it, we've simulated games, and he's done well. He's going to do nothing but get stronger and going to play up to his standards," Cutcliffe said Thursday.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Cutcliffe, who coached Manning at Tennessee, said the workouts he put Manning through at Duke (where Cutcliffe is the HC) were designed to simulate the type of practices he would go through in the NFL. "He can make all the throws, his release times are perfect, and we pay a lot of attention to that. It's arm speed and getting rid of it. His velocity is good. It's just a matter of, like any other NFL football player, you've got to feel good," Cutcliffe said. "He's in great shape. Not good shape, great shape, and that's part of what we did here as well. ..." According to Post staffer Lindsay Jones, Manning remains in Denver and he has begun working out at a local high school with teammates Eric Decker, Julius Thomas and J.D. Walton. Manning is continuing his neck rehab at Dove Valley with Broncos head trainer Steve Antonopoulos and strength coach Luke Richesson.
