Thoughts from pre-game warmups

A few thoughts to pass along from pre-game warmups:

The first-string defense is esentially intact tonight and it took repetitions, so it might be a case where the coaching staff would like to see a bit more from the defense to build some momentum heading into the season.

Matt Light is back with the first unit offensive line at left tackle. That has bumped Wesley Britt to second-string left tackle.

Veteran Mike Flynn looks like he'll serve as the backup center. How he handles shotgun snaps will be something to watch.

Matt Cassel took the first-team reps at quarterback, followed by rookie Kevin O'Connell. That could be an indication that Matt Gutierrez has done enough to earn a roster spot.

Please Mike - tell us you're joking. Cassel again? What's left to prove? We already know he's the worst QB Belichick has ever coached. Gute needs reps with the first team O.
