J-E-T-S didn't look like a playoff team when Randy Moss got involved. It was a cruel joke to send the rookie out to single up Moss, but it was understandable after he outran three members of the Jets secondary to the spot and ran in on the bomb from Brady. Mangini must have known he didn't have the pieces to cover Moss, so he left that rookie out there as a punishment for reporting late to camp.
Randy played a foot taller and a ten mph faster than any defender he was matched up against. Moss's catch was a great contrast to see that clown Berrian of the Bears cut his route short and leave fantasy disaster Rex Grossman high and dry on his bomb into double coverage. If you didn't catch the Chargers vs Bears game, Berrian stopped sprinting and walked the last seven steps of his route as the ball was in the air and didn't even try to break up the interception.
As happy as I am about Randy, Stallworth produced nothing statistically. He did throw some good blocks, but my fantasy team didn't get points. Speaking of blocks, Ben Watson held up the point of attack and Ellis Hobbs ran around the Jets kicking team for a 108 yard kick return. The longest return in history now belongs to the Patriots, which goes a long way towards assuaging my anger over Heisman Trophy winner and Super Bowl MVP Desmond Howard holding the Super Bowl record for return yards. My friend Ferocious worked subsequent Super Bowls for the NFL and I think if he had worked that game, he would have had Howard Nancy Kerriganed after the first big return.
Adrian Peterson of the Vikings looked a lot like a big version of Marshall Faulk. Not exactly big news, because he played like Faulk in college and I think he would have been the number one pick if he were healthy. Then again, I was convinced Reggie Bush would be the number one pick last year and Calvin Johnson would be the number one pick this year.
