Cassel is by far our best pre snap QB; Brady looks like he could be the best when the pre snap read gets covered. No matter what our D and running game will have to win games for us. Fortunately it looks like they can do just that.

I think some of those check-downs were Haley. As I speculated about Cassel not being allowed to audible, I think he was told to play safe as well. Trent Green and the announcers said tonight multiple times that Cassel was not allowed to audible under Haley so the check downs wouldn't surprise me either.
