Matt Cassel better, Fins DB's need big game!

And here.. we......Go!

Matt Cassel didn’t play particularly well in the Patriots shocking 38-13 home loss to the Miami Dolphins in their first matchup. He threw an interception, lost a fumble and didn’t deliver any big pass plays to Randy Moss or any other receiver for that matter. He now has the Patriots at 6-4 and sunday he will once again face our Miami Dolphins but things are a little different.. If he see's an opening, Cassel will tuck the ball and run with it and his scrambling gaines positive yards for the Patriots.

I have also noticed when the pocket begins to collapse on Cassel instead of tucking and running, Cassel gently stepped forward, eyes still focused downfield, and deliverse to one of his intended receivers. Buying himself that extra time in the pocket is something he wasn’t necessarily doing with any consistency earlier this season. That being said, We need our cornerbacks and safetys to step up. Interceptions kill! They kill drive, momentum and most of all points! Hope for a huge game by our DB's because if not they will be on the Jugs machine that spits balls out to help players practice good catching form all next week. :) 

What do you think will be key to our DB's shutting down Cassel to Wesker and Moss ?

I Agree

We will be looking at a better QB this time around but I also think our D is better this time around. YB got his first start week 3 against the Pats, I believe, and now we are seeing Allen and Goodman playing better man coverage and being more physical. The Jets have a good D and the pats put up 30+ points on them, we can’t allow them to score that many and expect to win.

Anyone see blitzing if the front D line cant get to cassel?

Jason Allen and Andre Goodman

are also different players since that week. I think you’ll see JAllen on Moss, and Will Allen on Welker. Hill is gonna have to be up top shaded to Moss’ side. Porter needs to get there within 3-4 seconds so there’s no time for double moves.
