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

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.
