I think BB and the coaches are keeping Moss out of the preseason for basically what can be some of many reasons including...
1) Randy still has a bit of a hamstring injury that was not severe enough to have put him on the PUP list but is dangerous if he was to play in one of these meaningless preseason games and could have reinjured it.
2) If there is one receiver on this team who can go out on week 1 and still put up big receiving numbers despite not being heard from in august,its Randy Moss and his talent speaks for itself so why risk it and a reinjury just so the fans can see the 'new guy and big name player' early.
3) Everyone knows Randy is going to be the #1 guy at WR so keep him off the field during these games and have the other guys fight for the remaining 4or 5 WR spots,If Randy was out there then that would mean less time for the other many WRs to show what they can provide as a playmaker in this offense,The big cuts are getting close by and the more time BB sees the close competition between the 'on the bubble' WRs fighting for the last few spots below Moss,Stallworth and Welker (who are locks) the better looks he will have as to decide who stays or goes.
4) BB does not want to see the media circus at every preseason game or workout,He knows the circus will be officially in town on September 9th - No Moss in action ?- Less Circus and less attention on the team media-wise which I think he likes but knows the quiet won't be for long once Randy hits the field which I can almost guarantee is September 9th.
Is this logic thinking on my behalf or am I a madman?
