You're really adamant about this benching Moss thing. I don't think there's really anyone else we have that would make a good #1. I mean you could bump Malcolm Kelly up to #1, make Thomas #2 and keep ARE in the slot, making Mitchell the #4..

But that seems all sorts of messy. And how long would you wanna bench Moss for? I bet if we did that to him, especially for more than a week, he'd probably want out.

That would confirm to me the quality of his character. I think Malcolm Kelly can do it. ARE is filling in nicely in the slot. From what I see that's where he should've been all along. Mitchell or Thomas are good enough for the other WR position.

Moss needs to man up. Off the field he seems like a cool cat. On the field is a different story. He makes good plays every once in awhile. I'll give him that. He's a great player. He doesn't always live up to his talent because of his mental weakness. I'd rather have a player who doesn't have his talent, a player who is reliable and doesn't hurt his team.

I'm not questioning Moss's ability, just his attitude. Someone has to step up. What if he goes down? Who takes his position?

Agreed. Moss has made great play for us. But he has to do that allof the time. Even if he can't make plays all the time. He still has to keep his mind in the game. One that play I woulnd't fault him totally. But in football. I fyou can't catch the ball. You make sure no one else does. If he had a made a strogner play on the ball or even touched dude he wouldn't have gotten his feet down. because he parely did. It was a good defenseive play. But like I said this isn't the first time I've seen Moss do this. I have seen him pout on the field. ON the post game interview. He was in the locker room with his head down. ARE and Cooley had career high catches last year. Moss didn't have a very productive year and ARE had a good game besides that bone head play at the beginning of the game.

I love Moss. But he does act like a diva sometimes and as the number 1 receiver. You can't take plays off. I htink his skill is unquestionable. But his mental game is brittle. I honestly think Webster was messing with his head and took him out the game. Before and after the fight.

I don't see how anyone can blame Moss on that play. He had to come to a complete stop in order keep both feet in bounds while his weight was carrying him out of bounds. The DB was trailing, so he had the advantage of getting there just as the ball did. If you're standing still and are off-balance because you're leaning towards one direction and another dude comes running full speed into you, you're going to get knocked back. Nothing he could do there. Bad throw, good Defensive play. Nothing else.

Not blaming him for the interception. Blaming him for not trying to make a stronger drive at the ball or hitting the CB so that he doesn't make that catch. Was an excelelnt play by Webster. But he made a tip toe grab on the side line. If you look at the video -- the slightest nudge would have knocked him out of bounds. But the INT was all on JC.

Please! elaborate on "mental weakness" when it comes to Moss, exactly what is that?

He has zero ability to turn lead into gold using only his mind or even teleport small muffins across the table at meetings.

Documented FACT!

I guess that just about sums it up in a nutshell. I'd still like to hear how Trample The Elderly describes it.

Grabing a CB's facemask and shoving the back of his head into his shoulders is what I'd call a lack of mental toughness. Punching a guy in the helmet is too. He's also given up on plays. I'm not talking about last Sunday, that was suspect.

Running a route and catching a ball isn't magic. It's not like he's being asked to eat soup with chop sticks.

I'm done. Let's see how he fairs against the Rams.

A poor choice of strike.

Hit the solar plexus, it's closer and less protected.

You forgot he shinned his shoes last year.
