Current Event Assignment

The subject of my article is about Matt Cassel becoming the starter for the Dallas Cowboys. The title of the article is: “Cowboys Hope to Feed Off Matt Cassel’s Presence.” I got this article from:

The Cowboys have gone 0-3 ever since the 2nd string quarterback Brandon Weeden took over for the injured Tony Romo in week 3. Over the Cowboys bye week, head coach Jason Garrett decided it was time for a change at the QB position. The solution was to let hometown kid, Matt Cassel, start against the New York Giants after their bye week. The Cowboys are keeping their fingers crossed that this replacement will hold them off until Tony Romo comes back from his injury.

This is a good thing that the Cowboys are switching up QB’s, and giving Matt Cassel a chance to prove himself, since Brandon Weeden has not yet proven himself. This makes me have hope that the Cowboys still have a chance to make it to the playoffs, even though they’ve had way too many injuries this year already, and the season isn’t even halfway over yet. It will be interesting to watch the Cowboys this Sunday. The reason is that over the bye week, the quarterback position isn’t the only one that they’ve made changes in. Some of the changes are that La’el Collins will start over Ron Leary on the offensive line. Also, star receiver, Dez Bryant, will probably be back in the lineup after battling a broken foot after week 1’s game. All of these changes may not help the team, but they certainly couldn’t hurt them any worse, so they might as well give it a shot.

This taking affect officially makes every single Cowboys fan happier. The reason being is that everybody knows that Matt Cassel couldn’t be any worse than Brandon Weeden, but the Cowboys have still been giving Brandon the starts, but here pretty soon, as soon as this Sunday, all the Cowboys fans will be watching the game to see if all these position changes helped the team. Everybody has a feeling that since Brandon Weeden is not the starter anymore, that the Cowboys will be changing up their passing scheme a lot. There probably won’t be quite as much shovel passes as there were when Brandon was the starter, because Matt Cassel has a good arm and has the ability to throw the ball down the field. So the Cowboys this Sunday are hoping that Matt can just give them enough to win the game against their division rivals,the New York Giants.
