Through a complete season in the same building and two weeks game prep (soon to be three) as an opponent, Mangini feels like he has a strong read on Cassel as an NFL quarterback.

"I think as he spends more and more time in this system, he’s going to get better and better because that’s how he’s wired, that’s his track record," Mangini said today. "The other thing that Matt does is he can generate some plays with his feet. He can extend some plays, he can make a lot of throws on the run that are positive, so I see him getting better with each game, with each exposure as he becomes more and more comfortable in the system."
