Cassel certainly looked better. But I'm not sure how comforted I am with that considering they limited him again to passes well under 10 yards. In fact, he only had 5 passes(13, 12, 17, 13, 16 yds) that ended up over 10 yards. And we can thank the WR/RB for the YAC that resulted in those passes being over 10 yards too. I'd hate to see Cassel's numbers minus the YAC....
But at least he did that better than last game. I think we'll see improvement from Cassel simply due to Weis limiting the offense to Cassel's abilities. But as others have pointed out, that will only last so long until opposing teams just stack the box and force us to pass long.
Charles continued to rock steady. He's doing everything right. Including not opening his mouth at all about being Jones' backup.
Albert isn't using very good leverage this year. And he really hasn't since the weight loss last year. I thought he looked slightly better overall this game, but he did have a couple flubs.
DeMorrio Williams definitely wanted to be on the field more than DJ. He was playing with the kind of passion that you only see out of DJ every 248 plays or so. DJ is clearly more athletic and more talented. But it's hard not to give the job to Williams. Dammit DJ....
Flowers will bounce back and be just fine. We shouldn't consider that game as an indication of anything other than Flowers trying to step up and make something happen by himself. He's a quick learner though, and this might actually help him understand his limits. As a smaller DB, he's got to learn when to go balls out and use his talent make a huge play, and when use his noggin and back off to make a smarter play that's maybe not as flashy. I'm not worried at all about him. He's just fine tuning.
Carr though, he's still got some learnin to do.
