Brady Mentoring Cassel?

Matt Cassel remains in contact with injured quarterback Tom Brady, getting advice and heeding his words. Cassel said the talk is always about football and not about Brady's recent medical woes. "We don't really talk about his injury situation much," Cassel said about Brady's surgically repaired knee. "I really don't know the status of Tom from an injury standpoint. All I know is that when I talk to him, he's in high spirits and he sounds good, and he says that he's recovering well." Cassel has done his best to follow the advice Brady gives him, especially one pearl of wisdom. "He said, 'Just be yourself, don't try to do too much, don't take the weight of the world on your shoulders and just go out and try to execute the offense, and move forward and you'll get better week by week,' " Cassel said. -- Boston Herald
