NFL Insiders Mort mentions Cassel

I am not going to get involved in yalls pissing contest, but I will say this.

Broaddus said on Talking Cowboys this week that he rewatched the Patriot game and the Pats never one time had 8 guys in the box, the most they ever had was 7. Mickey said Broaddus was wrong and pulled up a video of a play and Broaddus said "that guy is not a box player" and looked at Mickey like he was a stupid mofo for not being able to diagnose a play correctly. Mickey shut up the rest of the show about this "stacked box" myth.


This has been the entire problem, teams are not stacking the box to stop the run, they are leaving their safeties deep to take away the deep pass. That is why Weeden kept checking the ball down, he was scared to throw down the field with both safeties deep.

As long as teams can keep both safeties back and stop the run with just 7 guys, our offense is going to continue to struggle. We either have to be able to run against 7 man fronts or we will have to have a QB that is not scared to throw into tight windows downfield. This is why Jerry said that Cassell "will take chances" that Weeden would not.

Unfortunately these people won't listen. It doesn't provide the simple fix they need to make themselves feel better to accept reality. They have themselves convinced that we can't run because teams are stacking the box all the time against only us.

M. Mortenson was talking about the Bills starting EJM at QB but the coaches not being happy about it. He said the front office made the move to trade Cassel to us against the wishes of the coaching staff, who thought he was the better player. Let's pray he can instill some confidence in this offense and spark a few wins.

This makes no sense, because Tyrod Taylor is the starter. He's just injured.

Taylor is awful too. Be is basically Weeden with wheels

Not even close. Taylor is better than Weeden by a long shot.

All we need Cassell to do is be Romo's version of Aikman's Jason Garrett.

Or Bernie Kosar

Taylor is awful too. Be is basically Weeden with wheels

That's a pretty significant difference.

Having said that, I think Taylor is just better anyway.
