Penalty On Jay Cutler: Softening the Opponent

Let's call it a 10-yarder for softening the opponent on Jay Cutler. The flag is thrown for this quote from Jay:

"He's going to be a good coach," Cutler told Denver reporters in a conference call Wednesday. "I think their offense is going to be fine. I think Kyle's going to be fine. [Josh McDaniels] is an offensive mind.

"Just the brief amount of time I was able to spend with him, he's impressive. He knows a lot about offenses, he knows a lot about getting guys open and scoring points, as everyone's seen when he was in New England, so I think they're going to be fine."

I could be wrong, but this could be a crafty way of trying to save himself a beating on Sunday night.
