What do Matt Cassel and Usain Bolt have in common?
They both celebrate their sprints a little too much. Cassel’s primary first down came on a 22-yard scamper, after which he jumped up and pumped his fist. Now, it’s not like he put his arms down and started pounding his chest before getting tackled, but Cassel didn’t exactly set any world records, either. And he doesn’t have a cool nickname like “Lightning” Bolt. I’ve been hard on Cassel (stormed him? Laid siege? Never mind), so I’d like to say a couple of things in his defense. One, he had about the same amount of time to throw as one of those camera exposures that captures a bullet going through an apple. Two, we don’t see what the coaches see. To outsiders, Matt Gutierrez (14 of 20, 217 yards, two TDs) seemed to have the team in his control. If Gutierrez can do the same thing with the starting offense vs. a starting defense, then I’ll believe it. Of course, that won’t happen on Thursday at Giants Stadium. Is there any way to measure what kind of roster-clipping dungfest that’s going
