NFL.com has a thing where you can sign up to watch every game from last season in HD for 4.99 a week or 19.99 until March 31. I signed up for a week so I can check out some Cassel action. No commercials either, pretty cool. I'm watching the Pats Jets game from week 11 now.

I had an opportunity to watch the Pats vs Jets game last night. Here are a few quick observations that I made about Cassell
1. Good accuracy
2. Slightly above average arm strength
3. Made good decisions
4. Average pocket awareness
5. He put up a lot of rushing yards, but he wasn't looking to run first.
6. Good spiral.
7. Great poise.
Some concerns:
1. He throws a very flat ball. Needs to get more air under the ball on the long passes.
2. The Chiefs need a WR that can stretch the field to make him effective. The majority of his completions were underneath routes that won't be open without a deep ball threat like NE has with Randy Moss.
He looked very good in that game. Overall, he had better accuracy than what I saw out of Thigpen last year. I only saw Cassell overthrow 1 ball. I didn't see any underthrown. Thigpen seems to underthrow a lot of balls. Those can easily turn into a pick 6.
I'm looking forward to seeing these guys compete in camp.
Man I pay $160 a month with so many channels I can't count them over 500 including all kinds of VOD and over 100 HD channels and 10 GB internet and phone and yes I do have the NFL channel it is Verizon FIOS. I guess I have a good deal after all and the price is locked in for 3 years.
Yeah, a deep threat, or some sort of threat, this is my theory...
Crabtree/Bowe/Bradley/Gonzo...LJ/Charles
Thigpen becomes our Wildcat guy, with a lot of variations
Cassel has a bunch of options to throw to with this route, and on defense, maybe a few guys can make the transition, and excel...plus, new system, will take time...KC can be competitive with this offense...
Also using Thigpen in the Wildcat, its so Parcells in Miami with Brown, and its what I think they want to do(miami that is) by drafting...Pat White...Thigpen is our Pat White...
Just a theory.
convince LJ/Tony to stay, Crabtree in 1 find OL/LB 3-5, get Stover as a steady kicking presence.
Dont get me wrong, Im not a fan of LJ, and I think TG should move on if we can get value, but I think Pioli wants to win the division this year...I just feel with the schedule, there is no chance.
Just wanted share this video with everybody it has clips from all the games Cassel played in last year. It says it is a tribute but I think of it more as highlights..
