I've been going back and watching all the footage of games I have over the last two seasons and this couldn't be more true. In all the games I've watched in which Cassel looks comfortable in the pocket he looks way above average and the games that he fears the pass rush he looks nothing short of like a scared bitch who rushes plays, uses shitty mechanics, and pisses down his leg. If the presence of Winston boosts his testicular fortitude he very well could be in for a big season. It's all about his state of mind. I'm not going to blame the line for this, because there's no excuse for losing you're composure like that, but if he does in fact find his comfort zone with the upgraded line..who knows.
