When we had 6 blockers, they would bring at least 7. Now I'm not saying the offensive line played well. What I am saying is that Cassel made them look worse than they actually played.
It is not possible for them to block everyone when the other team brings more blitzers than blockers. The QB is responsible for recognizing that and making adjustments to attack. Those adjustments include hot routes and audibles. I don't think Cassel did any of that.
In the 2nd half, the Dolphins hardly blitzed at all. cassel was so flustered from all the blitzing in the first half that he was seeing the blitz all second half even if it wasn't there. And because of this, most of his passes in the 2nd half were pretty terrible.
Sure, the whole team was flat today. But it starts with the $14 million overpaid asshole that is supposed to lead this team. So **** you, Cassel apologists!

Well, he did audible a couple of times.
One was a pass play when we were threatening to score. He saw blitz again and checked to an off-guard run by McDervish. I think we lost 2 yards on that play. I don't blame Cassel, though. When McDervish has the ball anything can happen ... including a super spin move that drills a hole in the ground so deep that, when they un-pile, only his helmet is visible. So ... like a 2 foot hole.
The main problem I had with Cassel today were the wild-ass passes all over the place. He was high with his flings again ... same as last week ... and the week prior. There was also the minor problem of not taking advantage of the blitz and, instead, trying to Tebow the ball downfield with his magic feet of destiny while open receivers were looking back at him with confused expressions.
All in all, this game was one for the books and basically erases all the good feelings I had after last Monday night. I am now depressed beyond belief and considering shooting the neighbor's cat right square in the nuts.
