Moss- 2 for 22 yrds?
 

I am very happy we won but we need a bit more from Moss. It was the first game for Cassel so I'll pass on this for this game.
He is too good not to be more involved on the offense.

I wish they would at least go for him more while in the redzone. (although, maybe he was completely blanketed, I didn't notice)

probably as they get more comfortable as an offense, they will open up the field and explore more options.

but if they play mistake-free football and win, who cares...besides Moss?

Lets face it,this is not going to be a 1,000 yard year from Moss - Moss will be a decoy for many games and open things up in the slot for Welker and the other side with Thomas,Watson and Gaffney because I do not think Cassel to Moss is going to be a big thing this year unless Moss takes a few 10 yards outs and goes a long ways with it -

You could see in that one particular play in the game today it will be awhile before the timing of Moss and Cassel improve to where each other knows whats up between them.

Moss will probably come between 14-16 TD receptions this year - Yes I think its going to be a big dropoff from his 23 last year

I believe Randy was limited in practice this week. I think as time goes on the chemistry will be better. I am not worried about that at all.

Moss said that he was used to playing with Brady. He and Brady have a good relationship. It's going to take time for him and Cassel to build that kind of relationship. Cassel is not going to be able to do EVERYTHING that Brady did right away. I think over time he'll get better. However, I will not be surprised if there is much more of an emphasis on the running game than the passing game throughout the season. They have 5 good running backs on the team. It would be ashame not to use them.

I'm with LJ. I think Moss is not quite 100%. He's gets a pass this week. Let's see how the next couple weeks shake out.

Honestly , I think moss was left alone on purpose. There were some shots of him on the sideline and at firs tI thought he looked unhappy/pissed. But late rit looked more like he was hurting. I was talking about it with my wife and we were thinking that they still had moss in as a distraction/decoy but did not want to use him to much to give his back a break ( in case of any hits ).

Opponents will probably concentrate on scheming Moss until Cassel demonstrates he can walk this team down the field with consistency.

Re: Moss- 2 for 22 yrds?
 

it did look like at times that he was frustrated for whatever reason.
