How involved will Brady be with the team & Cassel going forward?

[BradyManny]

Brady will do whatever he can to help Cassel succeed at running this offense in his absence. Whenever he can. May not be visible early on, but he will be a presence. And a lot more helpful than Drew for two reasons - Cassel doesn't represent a slight or threat to him and he actually knows the offense as well as opponents defenses and can give better council than just f'in sling it.

Good points.

Along that line, I would liken Brady's role now to that of Varitek if Tek went down for the Sox. His experience and knowledge of other teams' defenses (as Tek knows hitters) is invaluable and in a way, makes him another coach. And again, Brady can relay this information and has information to give Cassel that neither BB or McD can.

You don't put your franchise player who just had major knee surgery on the sidelines during a game and risk further injury from a play where players go out of bounds. It happens all the time where players run out of bounds into some poor helpless fool standing there whether its an assistant coach or camera man. I don't think Tom would be nimble enough to get out of the way and can you imagine the horror of seeing this. With that said, I expect you would see him in the owner's box or in another box where he can communicate if he has to by phone or at half time in the locker room where they make adjustments.

I was thinking that, but I can remember Ty Law on the sidelines when he was injured in 04, I think I can remember seeing him on the sideline w crutches as a matter of fact.

I think that Brady will be as helpful to Cassel as Bledsoe was to Brady.

Didn't Michael Holley's book dispel that myth years ago?
