PHILADELPHIA (AP) -- The Philadelphia Eagles signed rookie free agent quarterback Matt Nordgren on Monday.patchick said:I'm on a laptop at Panera, where their filtering software rejected that link saying:
Reason for restriction: Forbidden Category "Intimate Apparel/Swimsuit"
So I guess whatever the Matt Cassel effect is, it ain't G-rated, eh? ("The seventh-round sleeper is arousing excitement in fans across New England...")
Then again, they also cut off my search for laser pointers on the grounds of "Forbidden Category: Weapons." So could you summarize the Cassel item?

maybe im wrong but i doubt it. We don't even know how good Cassel is yet but from what i've seen i would say he's pretty good and what we got from him is a pretty rare thing. For what he is right now, id say we took a shot and got lucky.

Did they play as few snaps as Young's backup and Cassel??

Yeah those guys came out when i was like 10 or 11 so i definitely missed that, it is interesting tho.dryheat44 said:I don't think so. I actually think Johnson started some games as a Junior, then got benched his senior year.
Both of them were rated as draft worthy in the late rounds.
In that respect, The Patriots/Cassell may be the guy to credit with pioneering the practice.

Nothing about 'Intimate Apparel/Swimsuit".
