You are using the term loosely to call Cassel a USC QB. He was a bench warmer, and I can not stand him. But if you watched the Cardinal or Seahawk game, he was stellar in those games.
But if you truly did watch the Oakland game, you didn't see the Chiefs make any line shifts, to adjust for the overloads, and three tackle sets, that Oakland was running. I could not believe what I was seeing. Why even play the starters?
They played it like a vanilla preseason game, and I have no idea why. It is not like there isn't already a lot of game film for Baltimore to look at.
Believe me, losing to Oaklands sucks bad, but I know this team is capable of putting up a better fight than they did on Sunday.
Romeo Crennel has done a great job of turning the defense around after the Herm Edwards/Gunther Cunningham debacle.
