New England Patriots quarterback Matt Cassel addresses the media during his locker room interview at Gillette Stadium on Thursday, October 2, 2008. Q: What do you see out of San Francisco’s defense? MC: They are a very experienced defense especially in the secondary with [ Nate ] Clements , [Walt] Harris, [Michael] Lewis and [Mark] Roman. They are all very experienced. They have a lot of team speed on defense. [Patrick] Willis definitely adds to that and Takeo Spikes. They are a physical group with a lot of experience. Q: How much did the bye week benefit you with getting more comfortable with the offense? MC: It’s good anytime you can get out there and work on things that maybe you are a little bit deficient in and also build on those things you have done well on. It is always good to have that week and we were able to utilize it. Q: After seeing the New Orleans Saints have success passing the ball against the San Francisco 49ers, do you think you will be able to throw some deep passes against them? MC: We hope so. Hopefully we will have the opportunity to do so but you never know going into a game. You never know from week to week how one team is going to attack you versus another team. We are going in with the game plan that we have and hopefully we will get some opportunities. Q: Do you feel you need to get wide receiver Randy Moss more involved in the offense? MC: You would always like to get Randy [Moss] involved. I don’t really have much to do with that other then the fact that I go through my reads and I let the coaches game plan and do the things to get Randy the ball. Q: What are you doing to build chemistry with wide receiver Randy Moss? MC: Just continue to work hard. It will happen. We are growing together and our chemistry is growing together. We will be fine. Q: How important is it to have all of your running backs, back this week? MC: It is great with Laurence [Maroney] back. The running backs have done a great job all year...
