Too Much on Moss

There has been way to much talk on the play of Randy Moss. Here are two interesting items that came up this week.

ESPN analyst Merrill Hodge participated in a study of the play of Moss with the Vikings during a season 10 years ago. The purpose was to determine if Moss was in fact loafing on plays. The study concluded that Moss was dogging it at times. He reviewed the game against the Dolphins last Sunday and found the opposite to be true. He said: "Moss played one of his best games in terms of not having the ball in his hands. He made 5-10 important blocks during the game." Interesting comments from a respected analyst.

During the week, Coach Belichick reviewed some of Moss's plays as part of his X's & O's with Patriots All Access. Using his Belistrator, he showed Moss getting double and triple coverage on many plays. Moss also threw important blocks on runs.

People will say that Beichick is biased. Moss will be under a huge microscope Sunday when he goes up against the Bills and Terrell Owens. It should make for some interesting pre-game chatter. Both wear 81 and have been accused of being selfish players during their careers. I would take either one of them on my team.

  1. This team has weaknesses, Randy Moss isn't one of them! The offensive line not stopping the pass rush, the other receivers (excepting Welker)not getting open, right side defensive pass coverage problems, are a few of these weaknesses. When you're double teamed you can only do so much. It's time for others to step up! It's time to concentrate on the Real problems! Be healthy Vince Wilfork!
