Chiefs I was impressed with Cassel - Page 12

**petegz28** · 09-09-2012, 01:53 PM

He didn't start to look like the old Cassel until the game was out of reach. His passes were crisp, ontime, to the correct receiver and he went through progressions. He marched us into scoring position until Moeaki decided to make a weak attempt at catching a ball which ended up tipped and picked. It was not Cassel's fault. The fumble was not Cassel's fault. The 2nd INT was the old Cassel though he was trying to make a play in a game that we were out of but nonetheless was a bad decision.

All in all he looked good. He was put in a position that he was literally forced to score on every drive and was doing a good job of it until some others started choking.

I'm not down on him yet. If our defense was worth half a **** today we most likley stomp Atlanta.

i knew when the Defense shut down the run and forced Cassel to move the offense, we are screwed.

Aaron Rodgers?

He looked like a QB who was hitting wide open receivers standing in a crisp pocket. Aaron Rodgers is great because he knows how to hit unopen receivers regardless of his pocket.

I'm not selling short that Cassel played terrific in the first half. But let's not make it more than it is. It gives some hope. But it didn't answer nearly enough questions.

I thought Cassel looked good today. I really liked what I saw. The problem is when we get behind by two scores he just seems to struggle.

It wasn't a free shot hard hit. Albert took him wide. it was the kind of sack where Abraham got his left hand on Cassel's left side and used his body momentum to turnstile around to get the strip with his right hand.

The difference between the first and second halves is our offense's ability to answer ATl's. Who leads our offense? Damn, this dude has more weapons than ever before and his best O-Line and yet one fact remains......he can't lead this team from behind especially against a playoff team.

It was clearly a lazy hit. Which explains why the ball just simply dropped right out of his hands.

They quit running the ball

R8RFAN · 09-09-2012, 02:44 PM

I don't know who #94 is on your defense but he was a lazy POS all day I was watching him alot

Sweet Daddy Hate · 09-09-2012, 02:45 PM

Why would teams want to waste all that money drafting first round QB's like RGIII?

Insanity.

I think this is on the O-Line to some extent.

In the bfirst half, they gave Cassel a clean pocket to work in all throughout the half.

In the second half, the lack of experience as a unit showed when the Falcons started using more blitzes, including run blitzes, and stunts, and they weren't able to adjust.

That should get worked out as the saeson progresses.

However, the fact that Cassel needed an absolutely clean pocket to succeed is also an indictment of Cassel.

You can not win if your QB can't make plays under pressure.

He starts marching us again and Moeaki weak arms a catch and tips it to a defender, we go down by 20.

What was he supposed to do?

Again, that fumble is partly on Cassel because of his lack of awareness and his poor mechanics, as pointed out by CD.

Actually was impressed with him myself, in the first half of course. He made throws I actually didn't think the guy could make.

Second half, after the field goal miss, everything deflated and the fumble really killed it.
