Cassel is a complete moron when it comes to pre-snap reads.

On the first point, I don't remember any traditional screens being run all year, where the linemen chipped their man, then got outside to lead block for a back who leaked into the flat. We haven't even thrown but a handful of flare routes or swing passes all year. At least I don't remember them. Even the infamous interception against San Diego came off of a play action, which is maybe the DUMBEST thing you can do. you don't screen off a play action pass. Here, let me fake it to you, so that everybody will surround you, then I'll throw it to you now that you have no momentum and there are dudes all over you... Just another example of Haley being a cancer to this offense, that was only growing, and needed to be surgically removed.
As for your second point, Cassel not making good presnap reads. Yeah, that i agree with. Cassel isn't even adept enough to know when the team is lined up incorrectly. At least today, I saw Orton tell Breaston to get his ass of the line of scrimmage, then proceeded to hit him over the middle for a first down on the same play.
