What about Moss?

[bb07]

Is he going to come back soon? Any news?

Do you think he'll be ready for season opener?

 

[PatsFanInVa]

No, Moss will never be back. If his injury was healing right Bill Belichick would have had a big public press conference to advise us of his progress. This team has a tough schedule and injury problems already, and the best we'll see out of 'em is 8-8.

With his injury history and missing 2 preseason games, there is no way Randy Moss makes this team.

Plus he is too tall, BB likes his WRs under 5'7...

I think we see a slightly different 4th pre-season game this year. In addition to the stellar channel 5 broadcast we may see some real talent, Seymour for a few snaps, Moss for a few snaps (and if Moss plays maybe Brady gets a few snaps).

They are waiting for his hair to grow back.

It's a legit question....

When it happened it was a "minor thing" - nothing to worry about.

That was 3 weeks ago and he hasn't practiced since.

as we told you, injury proned, bad attitude, takes plays off, selfish,coach"s nightmare, this was all orchestrated so we could get him off the field so we could hve practices without distraction, my sources tell me they are working on a injury settlement, moss apparently wants to play qauterback for the falcons hes been spouting off hes better than harrington,good riddens

Nobody said anything like that. All I said was it's a legit concern.

When it happened, if someone said he might be out nearly a month, that person would have been ridiculed.

Moss is practicing in the top secret "bat cave" facility in a hardened bunker 20 stories beneath Gillette Stadium.

Yeah, I think BB is saving Moss for the last preseason game. BB wants the Giants job and hopes to demoralize them going into the regular season, so he plans to play the regulars for four quarters and beat Coughlin 65-0. Moss will have seven touchdown catches and Seymour will have eight sacks.

the most important thing about moss is he comes back 100%healthy so he doesnt tweak the injury again, if that is 5 weeks let it be 5 weeks , coming back early will only set him back for the year, so im sure they are overly , overly , overly cautious, which is the right thing to do

I understand the sarcasm (the "bat cave" was funny), but I think it is a legit question. However, since every injury from a hangnail to a ruptured ACL is treated as "day to day," we won't know Moss' status until he lines up and goes deep. "It is what it is."

Ummm.. ok chief...

Moss - Do you feel better about having Moss start the regular season with exactly 0 game speed snaps? If he is ready I would like to see him go into the 4th pre-season game for a series or two. And by association if Moss is on the field I would like to see Brady throwing the ball to him not Matt '25 QB Rating' Cassell.

Seymour - He knows the system, not concerned about him. But there is something to be said for actually taking contact, if he is ready I thought the final pre-season game could be used to allow him to get 10-15 'hits'. How many times do we see players miss significant time in camp and then get hurt. Part of it is because they are not used to the contact. Again if Seymour doesn't play at all in the pre-season so be it, as long as he is ready to go against the Chargers. I don't want to see Jarvis Green lined up against Marcus McNeill (what a draft pick this was)

Check out this article on Revis as starting CB for the Jets. Now that doesn't mean he'll be the starter for Sep 9th, but which would you prefer:

* Revis, starting at CB with the experience of 2 preseason games and facing off in the first game of his NFL career...

* Moss, who's had almost the entire offseason and was looking very sharp with Brady before being sidelined.

Moss vs. Revis. I know it won't happen, but wouldn't you just love to see it.

Revis will be a good player but if he starts against Moss he will have plenty of Safety help. This automatically makes Moss' presence valuable as it should in theory open things up underneath. As we saw with Stallworth it takes some time for even a veteran QB\WR combination to get on the same page, game speed is different than practice. The result of this learning curve was Brady getting destroyed, I don't want to see this happen against the Jets.

I think my orginal point ( I can't remember) was that if Moss practices next week I would expect to see him get some snaps during the last pre-season game, if he takes some snaps then I would like to see Brady in for series or two to help build some on field chemistry. Brady and Moss are really really good but I will be surprised if they can walk into week 1 with no game time experience and be effective.

That's not true. I understand they have officially changed Stingley's status from "Day to Day" to "Probable."

I was being facetious, they'd be nuts to put a rookie CB with no time in camp up against one of the smartest WR's in the NFL. Mangini won't do that.

Maybe they start him on the other side, the kid is a top 15 pick. The first CB selected this year. Look at the other scrubs they have.

Andre Dyson - banged up
Hank Poteat - the immortal
David Barrett - who
Justin Miller - strictly a kick returner
Darrelle Revis
