Default Freeman @ CBS: Moss is Doggin' It Again

I don't understand this. Wasn't he known to be playing through a back injury that would explain this stuff away?

Moss's lack of effort could be poison ivy to Pats - CBSSports.com

EXCERPT:

Quote:
After watching Moss against Atlanta on Sunday two things became clear. Moss is the most physically gifted receiver in the NFL but, quite possibly, he remains one of the laziest.

CBSSports.com charted every Moss play against the Falcons and on a significant number of them Moss either didn't block or generated a lackluster blocking effort. On other plays, when the ball wasn't going to him, Moss jogged some of his routes.

Moss has been criticized for these things in the past so this isn't breaking news. What is fascinating is that Moss continues to behave in this manner despite being a member of perhaps the most professional and blue collar franchise in the league.

None of the Patriots' professionalism has apparently rubbed off on Moss.

Why the Patriots put up with Moss isn't a mystery. He's a Hall of Fame talent. Yet Moss must privately irritate perfectionists like quarterback Tom Brady.

Moss had a great game Sunday. Consider that he was on the injury report last week. Had Brady and the other skill players on the offense played as well we'd have had at least 8 more points, probably 15.

LOL, love teh highlighted text....

u show me ONE other patriot who has to run as much in one game while playing all but one snap, and ill agree

problem is, NO ONE else on this team has to run as much as RAndy....so yea, if theres a screen to the opposite side, let the guy just stand there, or walk his routes if he wants to

freeman's a pushover

This isn't the first dumb article Freeman has written.
The man knows as much about football as a rock.

Belichick, Brady, and others on the team have repeatedly noted that Randy Moss is one of the hardest working players on the team. He shows up early, leaves late, and gets teammates to join him for film and workouts.

Belichick has called Randy Moss the smartest football player he has ever seen, and that Randy was the MVP of the offense in 2007. He has also noted that Randy, like other stars, is smart in knowing when to conserve his energy.


Freeman's article is even more bizarre, since Moss was clutch all day yesterday, the only legit receiver Brady had, and the guy making multiple huge clutch 3rd and 4th down catches. All with a bad back injury, to boot, which nearly kept him out of the game.

I cannot reiterate just how ignorant and moronic Mike Freeman and his article are.

Wink Re: Freeman @ CBS: Moss is Doggin' It Again

Did they also chart him cheering for his fellow teammates while he was on the sidelines or congratulating them when they had those touchdowns. Sounds like someone trying to dig up dirt.

Exactly. CBS here is looking for a story when there's none to be found.

I have been a long time lurker here, I have seen some stupid articles posted before but this takes the cake.
He clearly wrote that to get a reaction and traffic to his site.
It is stupid, badly researched. Massive massive fail.

Yeah not to mention the bizzaro crap they supposedly tracked. I think we should ask him to lay out what they saw from every other player on O, since they were surely being objective...

Randy Moss was the best player on the field for either team on Sunday.
