Way to go Moss

NAPA, Calif. -- Unlike Terrell Owens, Randy Moss has been low key this offseason. Unlike T.O., Moss isn't offering inflammatory sound bites or creating controversy.

He practices hard. He works hard. He wows his Raiders teammates with his incredible pass-catching skills. His focus is football and nothing else. After practices, Moss blocks out the outside world. He leaves the locker room and weight room at Raiders training camp wearing huge headsets as he listens to music. Without saying much, he'll sign a few autographs for Raiders fans and head to his room. No individual interviews. No controversies.

"I've really taken it from a business standpoint, to just going out and doing my job," Moss said in a group interview a week ago. "I just do whatever I can to help this team get back on top. I'm not looking at it as trying to find a new home. I'm just looking at it, like I said, as a business and just going out there and doing my job. It's been very, you know, mind-racking to get the plays down and knowing where to line up. But I'm enjoying myself."

...

"Everything is so effortless for him," quarterback Kerry Collins said. "It doesn't look like he's running. I can throw it as far as I can and he catches up to it with no problem. He's a unique guy. He can run unique routes. Every day, I see something that's new and different, and it's something that I like."

Collins has tested Moss in practice. Even if he tries to overthrow Moss, Collins comes up with a completion because Moss is so fast and has such great leaping ability. "He has so much range and he's so quick he can catch up to anything," Collins said.

I found this to be a bit odd though:

Moss hasn't made the full conversion to the Silver and Black. He parks his expensive purple SUV by the gate of the practice field. There are no plans to paint it. First, prudent with his money, Moss doesn't want to pay for a paint job. Second, he still wants to remember his seven years in Minnesota.

"I really want to keep it purple because that was my way of remembering Minnesota," Moss said last week. "But in the same sense, I plan on giving that truck away, probably within the season. And that's why I'm keeping it purple, because it's customly made for the old 84 Moss in Minnesota. And one lucky fan hopefully this year will have a chance to get that truck."

well, Owens was the ultimate team player when he arrived in Philly. Just wait until the Raiders are near the end of a 7-9 season

*yawn*

In the second half of last year he threw for 16 TDs and 8 INTs, 3 INTs coming in the final meaningless game of last season. He's a solid QB, and with the arsenal he has this year, he'll no doubt be improved.

No comment 😉

The key is underthrowing/overthrowing. With Moss, Collins should *always* be overthrowing the ball. Randy will get to it, but not the DB.

That said, I hope this is a sign of Moss maturing.

I think the media has hype alot of the things Moss has said and done.

I remember earlier in the year a PGA golfer gave a fan the middle finger. ESPN was interviewing Moss, since it was around the trade, and he said if it was him the media would be all over it, but the golfer was left alone.

And I agree with him.

I like Moss, he is a hell of a player.
 
Comparing Moss to Owens right now is the only way he can look good. He takes plays of, has a hissy fit on the sidelines all the time, and walked off the field and dissed his teammates before a game had ended.

His a fantastic athlete, and has often acted like a fantastic d!ckhead. And when the raiders start losing, he will be a selfish prick again.
