Is Moss Hurt?

Randy Moss, who was acquired from Oakland in one of those ever-present trades during the draft, is still injured after he pulled up halfway throughu practice on Wednesday, August 1, 2007. Yesterday, Thursday, August 2, 2007, Moss missed both practices, leading to speculation that the injury he had suffered to his left leg the day before had been more serious than first believed.

Granted, coach Bill Belichick insists that Moss is fine and doing well day-to-day but New England Patriots fans have to wonder whether or not this is truly the case. At any rate, fingers are crossed as fans wish for a speedy recovery for Moss. After all, everyone knows that there is nothing as fun as watching your favorite team play hard, and as rooting on your favorite players to carry their team to vicotry. If Randy Moss is injured seriously, then, his poor fans are going to be missing out on a lot of fun.

Pats Make a Canton List

One of the big stories today at the ESPN.com website was (surprise, surprise) a list. This list was compiled to determine the active players who are most likely to one day be inducted into the NFL Hall of Fame in Canton, Ohio. This weekend six players will be inducted into football immortality, those players include Gene Hickerson, Michael Irvin, Bruce Matthews, Charlie Sanders, Thurman Thomas and Roger Wehrli. Patriots fans will be happy to hear that many of the current Pats players are, according to ESPN, likely to make it to canton one day.

You will probably not be surprised to hear that three players from the New England Patriots made the top ten on that list. Tom Brady was the number two player on the list, right behind Brett Farve. Brady will be remembered as a player who could win when it counts- especially in big games. Richard Seymour, the Pat’s long-time defensive presence, is number 6 on the list and was also part of the Pats’ three Super Bowls. I’m also counting Adam Vinatieri as a Patriots player, though he currently is a Super Bowl champion on the Colts. Trader. He was the number 10 player. Check out the rest of the list by visiting ESPN.

Thomas Will be New England’s True Impact Acquisition

According to Jeffri Chadiha, writing for ESPN.com, Adalius Thomas will have the most impact of all the Patriots’ offseason acquisitions in 2007.  Though much hubbub has been made of the Patriots’ new wide receivers, especially Randy Moss, Chadiha maintains that it will be the presence Thomas brings to the Pats’ defense that will make the most difference in the new season.  It’s an interesting perspective, and quite frankly, it holds up.  Thomas will be joining an aging defense that fell apart late last season.  His presence should definitely give everyone else on defense a break.

I learned something from this article.  Junior Seau is still playing football. That’s not a misprint.  Junior Seau is 38 years old.  And it’s not like he’s spent most of his career as a backup QB or something.  This man has been a starting linebacker in the league for his entire career.  His joints are probably worse than most men twice his age.  When you take into account that the average age of the Pats’ linebackers is around 32 years, then having a 29 year-old linebacker with an eclectic skill set becomes that much more important.
