anyone know anything about this guy??? all i know is we got him in the offseason but is he good?? if he was, how did we get him so cheap and easily?? why do ppl assume he will start??
Are you serious? He's not "below average"... He's young and he's been getting better over the past couple seasons.
this guy is a starting caliber player who unfortunately will have to be a back-up because barton and vilma are going to be maning the middle. he will def be used as a situational player tho and will contribute a lot to our team. posted 180 tckls over the last to seasons.
Kassell is actually an above average player. He was a solid compliment to Keith Bullock here in Tennessee. I'm not completely thrilled about the pick up, but i know he'll be a good fit for us
Why was he let go? The Titans are in cap hell. Kassel is a solid LB... if you need a comparison, think Vrabel. Other than Vilma, I think the Jets LB's will be in an active rotation. Kassell will definitely be a part of that rotation.
How many games have you guys actually seen him play? I don't know a lick about him other than that his stats over the last couple seasons have been pretty solid. From what I recall, Tangini went after him pretty hard, so that's probably a good sign, right?
He's solid, but in my opinion is below average to average at the moment. Yeah, he's young, and will only get better.
I live in Tennessee, Kassell got playing time due to injuries to Calmus and Sirmon, he's got pretty good speed and hands, but to me he is still unproven. I think he's a good low risk for his salary, but I don't see him penciled in as starter.
