We don't need Brokie to be Tom Brady out there. We just want a REALISTIC chance that he will make a semi-accurate throw downfield to a receiver who is being covered in man coverage. We need just enough throws to prevent 8 men in the box because the defense knows our only viable threat is to run the ball.
The defense is willing to take the chance and load the box knowing that the perfect storm has to occur for Cassell to hurt them. Will he be able to locate the open receiver? Will this receiver be the best option or will it be the checkdown 95% of the time? Will he make an accurate throw covering more than 10 yards in the air? Will our #1 receiver catch that throw? Will the O-Line be able to protect Cassell long enough for his brain to process all this data? Will the ball slip from his hands for no apparent reason while he's concentrating on all of the above?
