Redskins' Moss Wants Football 'Early And Often'

Besides, in 2006 he still had your boy Brunell throwing him the ball for the first half of the season and he wasn't exactly tearing it up.

Hmmmm, I remember a very good game that year... that we won in over time, deep pass Brunell to Moss. Man, I miss those!!

And I remember two good games from Moss that year late in the season with somebody with the initials JC playing QB.

Moss is a decent reciever to me. I personally think he has lost a step or they have been using him wrong. I think his height at times really limits him being able to be a elite recevier in this league.

I am still glad he is on our team and I like his personality and desire.

I personally think this is good news. Moss is likely nervous about the two new rookie WR's (and possibly the TE), and he sees his role in the offense diminishing significantly. Maybe he needed this kick in the rear to get his game back to where it should be. I understand he doesn't want to talk about 05, but he hasn't exactly caught everything that our QB's have thrown at him. Maybe this is just the motivation he needs to get him back over 1000 yards, and be the reliable WR we remember but haven't seen in a while.

Well, I think the theory was that training camp shouldn't beat the players to death before the regular season even starts. I think there's validity to that. On the other hand, you don't want to under-prepare them. There's a balance that's hard to find I guess.

As to the punter, I'd be fine with Frost getting a little heat put under his arse. He was good in spots, but man, when he was off, it was a nightmare. Come to think of it, it might have done Shawn Suisham some good to have him look over his shoulder, too -- nothing is more irritating than watching his kickoffs fall at the 15 or 20 yard line.

Oh, and yes -- Lindsay's hot ... I'd definitely smack it around...

Its probably just the new blood coming in town and having a new approach to things that makes it seem like camp under Gibbs was a country club.

OK, Moss did have an awful game vs GB, but I was more disappointed when he took himself out of the game than when he tried to catch the pass with his facemask or shrieked when Charles Woodson came up on the end around and handed the ball to Woodson. Everybody makes mistakes, but our best receiver giving up is just not gonna cut it. I love Moss, think he can be a top guy in the league, but he has a little too much Gary Give-Up in him at times, I want to see him fight through that stuff.
