Moss to ESPN.com: Sky's the limit for offense

Posted by Mike Reiss, Globe Staff May 25, 2009 04:50 PM

ESPN.com's Tim Graham, who covers the AFC East, blogs about the Patriots' offense in 2009 and includes comments from Patriots receiver Randy Moss.

"The sky's the limit for this offense," Moss tells Graham in a Monday interview. "I think that we could be a little bit better than two years ago. I'm very excited for us as an offense. I'm excited for us as a team. There's a lot of good things about Tom Brady coming back that excites the people, the fans, the coaches and the players around here. All we can hope is to come out with smoking guns."

Moss echoed comments made by Patriots receiver Wes Welker to Peter King of Sports Illustrated, saying that the offense should benefit from both receivers having been in the system for two years.

"This year, it's going to be a little bit scarier because we do have two years up under our belts," Moss tells Graham. "This offense is complicated. To be point blank, they don't want dummies in this offense. You have to be somewhat intelligent to be able to go ahead and run this offense because one play you could be here; the next play you could be there. You have to be versatile to be able to change positions and be good."

Didn't make the playoffs last year and you wont make them this year so hold on New England get ready for the lean years .

  1. If that line holds up and protects Brady maybe you win 9 games ,but no way it does so your looking more like 6 wins and even that's pushing it .

  1. Scott, if you have such inside info on how the Pats will only win 6 games, let's see you pick which games they will lose. They will go back to sweeping the East again, so that is 6 there already. I don't see them losing any home games this year. So there is eight. They'l go 500 on the road and therefore 12 wins is the right answer. Keep hate'n Scotty and you will eat your words by next Feb. We won 11 with Castle last year. with Brady back...good night to the rest of the NFL. He will be on a mission with Moss and Wes without any O-line. He won't need one. Give him 3-5 Seconds and the ball will be out. to the playmakers

  1. Brady won't need a o-line just give him 3-5 seconds and the ball will be out . Keep thinking that way and that how you guys will only win 6 games . I know , i know the Raiders .. bah ..bah .. duh . Wake up New English if Brady goes down your done , plan and simple you are done . Your O-line is in bad shape , i mean come on REALLY you wont have time to get the ball to Moss , then he will quit on your team . One really good hit on that knee or one false cut the wrong way and Brady is done. I'm just telling you to get ready for the" remember the good old days" Bah..bah ..duh.

  1. Gotta love trolls. They taste like.... CHICKEN!! Oh wait, that's their mentality. Haven't been on here for a bit, but getting back into thinking football, and loving some of the moves the Pats have made. Can't wait :-)

  1. doubt that even scotty is dumb enough to bet the patriots and under 11.5 wins this year. he doesn't like the patriots and is pissed that they are going to win the super bowl again.

  1. Talk is cheap. Do it on the field.

  1. Definitely taking Brady again in the first round of our fantasy football draft.

  1. Hey Jason, leave Rain Man out of this, my son is autistic and to draw a parallel between Scotty G(oofball) and my son is an insult.

    Scotty, you bottom-dwelling wind-bag, only the truly clueless could look at the Patriots roster and draw the absurd conclusions that you have. It is amazing to see what jealousy does to fans outside of Patriot Nation.

  1. Ok my Pats brothers, 2 yrs ago our offense fell apart the second half of the year. Teams came at Brady with everything, and we were ripped apart by the Ravens and Eagles, barely winning both. We played lousy in bad weather and our offense got KILLED in the SB. On the other hand, our offense last year with a high school QB had a much better offense down the stretch because they stretched out the Defense with a very solid running game. I said it last year, that w/ Brady as QB, if they didn't get a good running game, we would go no where. The offense will be better than 2007 if they stay w/ the run. It's not about points and records , but it's controlling the defense like last year instead of the D controlling us like in 2007.
