Belichick on the Big Show

Go about 9 minutes in, 9:30 specifically, Belichick praises Moss pretty effusively. Said he was the most dominant player and the reason they were able to move the ball so much.

A lot of fans and mediots were wondering why Moss stats were so low, Felger for instance, but Belichick's praise of Moss in the Jets game is about as emphatic as I've ever seen him give a player. Definitely worth a listen.

I argue about this exact point every home game with the Madden loving "just throw it up to Randy" crowd. They say if you don't use Randy why even have him on the team? What?! Someone sitting next to me this last home game, whom I won't mention by name because of the idiocy of his comment, said after Moss caught the last second TD and I quote "It's about time Moss did something today!" What?!

Thanks for the link.

Here's one for you:

its becasue its been beat down on cassel to keep the ball safe and not take risks. brady has a free pass to make throws in double coverage or even less % throws because his is TOM BRADY. Cassel's first job is not to throw INT and i have to say he has done that to a T most of the time without forcing the ball to moss.

Pat the Pats Fan

IMHO, Randy Moss is a real football player. He cares about the team and winning first. Any contribution he can make towards a win, he is willing to make. For just about every play, he was double teamed, giving single coverage to Gafney and Watson. He is the offensive version of Big Vince

A sarcastic Bill Belichick on Tom Brady's finger injury, "It's not life threatening."

HEY BRO! WHAT UP?

It's true, the stats lie. We all saw Moss blowing by Ahmad Carrol late in the third quarter when Cassel overthrew him. It's beyond me why Carrol was lining up with Moss on that play. Moss has done this almost every game where he busts loose in the secondary and Cassel just misses him deep. Brady had this problem early in career miss firing on deep passes, Cassel will clean that up soon.

When it comes to BB I care more about what he does (ie who he plays) than what he says. In this case when you combine his comments with the fact that Moss plays more plays than anyone on the team it spells out his thoughts on Moss very clearly.

Felger is going to play up any negative thought he can about Moss - he is still trying to be right about his reaction to the trade.

The national press will do the same - Randy has a reputation and he isn't going to live it down.

The thing that surprised me is the vocal group of posters on this board who agree that Moss has been dogging it this year.

All Things Bill Belichick: 14-Nov-2008 Radio Show Transcript here is BB on moss

There is a difference between saying Moss is dogging it, which he is not, and questioning why he has failed to make the kind of plays on certain throws AS HE DID LAST NIGHT. I understand why he isn't being thrown to, unlike those here who incessantly demand Josh order Cassel to challenge the double team...or alter the sets and routes and game plans to feature Moss because he's Moss... But when he is singled and the kid gets the ball to him or within inches of him, he's gotta make that tough play more often than he has becasue Cassel isn't Brady. The catch Thursday night was a thing of beauty. Had he made 2-3 more of those for his QB this season we'd possibly be alone in first even with everyone elses drops and gaffs and penalties and blown coverages.

BTW Bill did acknowledge he tripped while lauding him for getting open.

PatsWickedPissah

Belichick is such an interesting guy. It would be wicked pissah if David Halberstam wrote a sequel to "The Education of a Coach" that covered all the internals of BB's coaching seasons with the Pats. I would be shocked surprised if this happened.

I agree it would be wonderful, but it won't happen because David Halberstam is dead.
