Besides, from what I'm hearing (ok, it was one radio interview with Bob Ryan in Boston), the Pats may still need Cassel. Brady's knee might not be ready until October. Don't think that The Hoodie is going to give up September's schedule without one of those two guys in pen.
Speaking of mobility, Sanchez seems to throw very well on the run and isn't afraid to run. Unlike Thigpen, though...he actually seems to want to try and wing it down the field and not give up on the play so quickly. I like that. Despite what Petty Carroll says.

Will you be my friend?
Seriously, your assessment is correct, and I'll only add that Mark knows how to find an opening and gain yardage on foot like Thigpen, but he's faster than Thigpen.
Gotta go now. Keep up the good work! REP!
