...There was another category of player happy for last night's game. Matt Cassel doesn't have to worry about making the team. No issue there. He is Tom Brady's official backup. Last night was a very special occasion because Cassel actually got to take snaps in an NFL stadium before real live paying customers and a probing press......Matt Cassel fits the modern QB mold at 6 feet 4 inches and 230 pounds. In his first two years backing up Mr. Brady, he is 18 for 32 for 215 yards, two TDs, and one interception. His QB rating is a respectable 84.8. He may have a unique background, but when's the last time anyone accused Coach Bill of being stupid? Coach Bill doesn't stand on ceremony. If he thought he could find himself a better candidate to backup Brady, don't you think he'd be here by now? Clearly, Coach Bill & Co. are satisfied with Matt Cassel's progress. He's the backup for a reason...
