Who's making excuses for Cassel? I've already told you that Weis has such little trust in Cassel that he dialed up a conservative quick pass play with a pre-determined read. Like I said, based on how I interpret the play, I believe he was at the mercy of the playcall. Cassel was the victim of a play that didn't work, but he was a victim because he hasn't done well enough to be trusted with an open-ended play.

And yes, Pope was the victim of being a pre-determined second read. But that shouldn't make it excusable to not make a play on the ball the way you're supposed to.

Zilla, you have exhausted every way of defending Cassel on that specific play.

EVERY SINGLE WAY

First he had the ball 4 seconds...then 3...then Bowe wasn't open, then he was but the safety was right there...then Cassel made the right decision to make that throw, then it was Popes fault for not making the correct move after the catch, then he should have came back to the ball, then it was a bad play design.

Nothing about Cassel ****ing up. Which is what happened.

Im done.

You're gonna dabble in ticky-tack details like 4 seconds vs. 3?

I'm defending Cassel on this play because I have viewed the tape a million times and I interpret this as a fake left with a pre-determined quick pass right. I've given plenty of reasons why I believe this is so and they all have strong merit. I'm not going to say somebody ****ed up when I don't believe they did.

The only thing that gave me pause was jd pointing out that Bowe was open (not deep) but on the quick slant. He thinks Albert chopped his guy down to open up the lane for that and it worked. I've already given my reasons why that option was never anything more than a decoy. That's my interpretation. If you disagree on this point, I think it's a valid defense. But most people aren't arguing about this part.

I hate Cassel, but I'm not going to let my hatred affect the way I interpret a play.
