It's easy, and only takes a few moments.The season is young and Brady needs game-time experience with his new receivers. We have Chargers next week and game-time tuneups are much more productive than practice field reps.With the Patriots Leading 31-14 why not pull Brady and get Cassel in the game for some snaps?
Wouldn't it be good to get some regular season tape of his work?
I'm still looking for a confirmation on the reason Hanson was in as holder on all field goals after the Cassel muff. Was Matt injured on the snap or just demoted? There may be a reason they waited until Gutierrez could take a knee before subbing for Brady. Given the nature of the team's management of information, we'll probably never know, but it was interesting that Cassel wasn't in at the end.
Yeah, I just heard the jammed finger opinion, and it seems logical.Zolak and DeOssie were opining last night that they think he likely jammed a finger on the muffed hold. They didn't think BB would pull his holder over 1 missed hold. And when it comes to taking knees, Bill tends to either leave his starter in or send in the #3. He did with Vinny a couple of times last season.
