Moss nervous about 2009 season
Randy Moss now knows how the cornerbacks lined up across from him feel before the snap of the ball - nervous. Speaking yesterday in a team setting for the first time since the Patriots' Super Bowl XLII loss in February, Moss admitted being nervous about trying to equal the offensive output that he and his teammates produced in 2007, when Moss notched an NFL-record 23 touchdown receptions, Tom Brady had a league-record 50 TD tosses, and the Patriots set NFL marks for points (589) and touchdowns (75). "I'm actually kind of nervous, and the reason why is that I think [about] what we did last year as a whole unit," said Moss, who in his first season in New England had 98 catches for a franchise-record 1,498 yards. "We're going to try to come out and put points on the board because that's what we're coached and asked to do, but the expectation, the bar is set so high here - not by you all, not by the fans, but by the coaches and the team."

Yep, they'll be head hunting this year for sure. Don't do anything Moss but run straight down the field. You go running a crossing pattern.......lol.

Some people feel that if you did it once you can do it again. Well, not this Pats fan.
As long as the Patriots go out the field and play to the best of their abilities, I'll be happy come what may. :)

how nervous can moss be. he's been under the spotlight since college. his only really competition comes from trying to out do himself every year. father time will catch him in a few years, just not this year.

He is nervous because Bill Belichick looks a heck of a lot like Dr. Evil's sidekick No. 2.

He's nervous because last year he was on the Pats, not the Raiders.

Moss understands that if he and Brady "only hook up for 30-35 TD"S this year, the NY loving, NE hating media types at ESPN & SI will spin stories that say they are washed up. Look at the adulation that Mr. Interception is recieving now that he is wearing a jets uniform for proof of my theory.
Or maybe, he's just nervous cuz he saw Coach Belichick with a tucked in collared shirt, hair combed, smiling during the first preseason game. Invasion of the body snatchers anyone?

Yes, it has to be nerve racking to go out there and not know what defense is doing before the snap this year. I am sure it will make for a much less synchronized offense.
I guess we've swept the whole cheating thing under the table like it never happened. But I said it before I'll say it again, the Patriots 18-0 season was perfect.
Perhaps Moss out to practice a better victory dance than 'the bird' before the clock expires.

Lady's Coach Belicat, I think everybody that wasn't looking to hate on anything Pats knew what you were talking about. Nobody in their right mind expects them to do what they did last season and those that do are not true fans and obviously did not appreciate the amazing feats of the offense last year. Pats have an easy schedule in a weak division so hopefully they can come together in the playoffs and take home another ring.
