...Tonight the spotlight will be on Matt Cassel, who figures to see extensive playing time when the Patriots open up the exhibition season...Cassel will not only be playing to solidify his No. 2 job in New England, but auditioning for a leading role down the line......The 6-foot-4-inch, 230-pound Cassel has been an understudy emeritus since leaving Chatsworth (Calif.) High, backing up Heisman Trophy winners Carson Palmer and Matt Leinart at Southern Cal and now two-time Super Bowl MVP Tom Brady.
In college, Cassel threw a total of 33 passes. In two seasons with the Patriots, the 25-year-old has completed 18 of 32 passes for 215 yards and two touchdowns in eight games. He threw just eight passes last season, completing five. That's a good drive for Brady...
