Maybe Bledsoe will come out of retirement. Or they can bring Michael Bishop back.

I don't think the OL was terrible today, slow decision making by QB's make OL's appear to be that way. Cassel, Gutz and O'Connell are all very young and "immature" from a QB prespective, don't get too excited it's only pre-season.

I don't think Matt has started a game since highschool. Belichick must see something in him at practices.

he throws alot of picks in practice to

I think it's clear now he's not good enough to be a reliable back up. O'Connell looked a million miles more assured at QB. INT's happen, if you throw one hey, even the best do sometimes but the fundementals have to be there and Cassel looks behind in terms of ability and prescence. Cassel was clearly rattled last night.

Nothing against the kid, he's just not good enough.

Yup... The O-line is picking up where it left off in February. I think that's the biggest reason Bradey hasn't played in the pre-season. The Ravens and the Buc D-lines dominated our O-line.

Where's Bubby Brister when you need him?

Maybe we can find a spot for Troy, now.

Please evaluate the run game and the snapping. Seriously, the OL did not eprform well. But, then most of their players were back home.

Took the words out of my mouth. Not a bust... to me, it's just unfortunate.... I think that he worked hard, tried his best, and just couldn't get it done.

It is what it is.... I just think that we are concerned about the Jets or Bills signing him immead. on his release just to have a coach pick his brains for two weeks.

He may not get cut until the deadline.... at least then someone has to take him from waivers and give up a roster spot for him..... then again, they could just sign him as a consultant if he clears waivers (which i am thinking he would..... there is a reason they call him Mangenius, however).

You guys have been listening to the announcers too much. Cassel was what, 6-10? He threw one really bad ball (his first pass, should have been a pick), and other than that he was pretty much on target. His last 2 passes were perfect throws that were dropped (in fact, his other incompletion might have been a drop too).

There's no excuse for that first throw, but O'Connell came in and did the exact same thing on his first snap. Yet there's no outcry here to cut him.

I'd certainly like to see him looking off his primary receiver more, as he really seems to lock in on one guy each play, but I thought he played pretty decently overall. I think he's a pretty accurate thrower who really made one mistake last night. And we're just KILLING him out here. Wow.
