Oh yea, and the knees.

One other point is also Cassel's mechanics have improved drastically the last month or so. Quick drop and set throwing off his front leg. I can't even remember what Croyle's mechanics look like and don't know if he does either.

Croyle's footwork on his drop backs is nearly flawless.

His problems lie in the fact that, like many strong armed QBs, he doesn't follow through when he throws, which leads to poor accuracy.

He also has never had any touch on his shorter throws.

Thes are things that he and the staff have been working on in the last year and a half to improve hopefully.
