On Broncos' front burner: patience
Cutler must use light touch against Bucs' hot defense

The stove is right there, easy to see for Jay Cutler.
And it's hot. Very hot, very big, very fast, has eight interceptions and 11 sacks. Cutler knows he shouldn't touch it, knows he shouldn't get lured into thinking it won't hurt.
Because when he stands at the line of scrimmage Sunday, it will be the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' defense across from the third-year quarterback, testing every fiber of patience in his 25-year-old body.
"I know a quarterback has to be patient against that defense, you just have to take your 5-yard completions, your 6-yard completions, and, you know, quarterbacks in the NFL, you get tired of doing that," Cutler said. "You get tired of that, and then you take a shot downfield and that's when they pick you off. Peyton Manning is probably the best in the league at taking what's given, moving the ball down the field however he has to.
"Sometimes, it's not very glamorous, and, in a lot of ways, you have to be the same way on offense. Be careful with what you do."
