Anyone concerned with matt's ability to scramble and his new found willingness to take off with the ball? the closer we get to game time, the more worried i become about this playing a big factor in the game (especially on 3rd downs). i didn't get to see the seahawks game and i cant find any mention of seneca wallace hurting us with his legs, but the pats do have more weapons to worry about with moss welker and watson its going to be harder to key on the scrambling qb.

I do think we will see a totally differant Cassel than when we last played the Pats. He has really improved with playing time.
 
Have you seen him run? He is quite slow... Our LB's can Quickly catch him.
 
We'll have to see what happens.....hopefully we're getting to him so fast he wont have the time.
 
I hate scrambling QB's. I think we have to blitz and when we do blitz come straight up the middle in his face. I just hope if/when he does scramble we make him pay for it.

Spying him would be more important than blitzing him.

I dont know the jets probably have some quick linebackers and he had 62 yards rushing on them.

Jets linebackers are also slow.. I read or saw on espn/nfl that the reason why cassel ran so many yards is Because the jets LBs are slow.

Slow QB's cant put up 40+ rushing yards by themselves. He can.

Yes they can. When all the DBs are out man on man covering ect and no where close to the QB. and when the LBs are big and slow. the whole middle of the field is open.

Watch his highlights. or re-watch the game. Anyone with open green can make a scramble..

It just further shows how the jets Defense is nothing fancy.

Dude, trust me. Nobody "slow" can do 40 yards of anything.

Granted as Porter mentioned Cassal is no Mike Vick. Thats good i'm glad but that doesnt change the fact that he's still not fast enough to do serious damage.

And again you are praising cassel... Take away that Fluke 400yd game he had and he Averages 200 yards passing.. If you avg 200 yards passing then randomly have a 400 yd day. It is a fluke. A lot of lucky throws.
