I have rewatched the game and tried to focus as much as I could on Caldwell. I will say that there was some miscommunication between Brady and Caldwell on a couple of occasions and he had one drop right off the pads, but I saw some positive things as well and I think they should be mentioned. I also want to say that he is playing out of position, as he is not ready to be a #1 in any offense, but put in at a #2 I think he would do quite well.
In the first quarter he was able to get some nice seperation and was able to get a long pass interference call on the skins. After that, he did have some miscues and kinda fell off the radar until the 3rd, but he seemed to be handling the jam at the line well.
When Cassel was in Caldwell caught 2 very nice catches on the same drive, showing nice seperation, used his hands well, and was able to keep his feet in bounce on the second catch.
I know that from reports out of camp that we were all expecting Caldwell to come out and be Brady's favorite target and put up huge numbers, and I think he could at the 2 or 3 position. I just think all this talk of him getting cut or cannot catch a ball is overexagerated. Just my 2 cents. I hope this isn't rose colored glasses but more of rational thinking.
