Reading receiver's moves
Moss's body language in loss quite interesting
FOXBOROUGH - Randy Moss said all the right things after catching just four passes for 25 yards in the Patriots' 38-13 loss to the Miami Dolphins yesterday, but his body language seemed to tell a different story.
Moss sat in solitude on the bench for most of the first half as the offense struggled. The wide receiver has yet to establish the same passing rapport with quarterback Matt Cassel he had with Tom Brady, and it hasn't helped that teams consistently have rolled a safety in Moss's direction, challenging Cassel to get him the ball.
Cassel claimed he didn't notice that Moss wasn't sitting with the offense in the first half.
"No, I don't really pay attention to that," Cassel said. "When we come over to the sideline we get with the coaches, and we try to figure out what the next best thing to do is. So, I didn't even notice the fact that he was anywhere other than on the bench."
Moss did sit with the offense in the second half, but he did not even extend his arms for a clearly overthrown Cassel pass in the third quarter. He showed some frustration early in the fourth quarter, when he threw his arms in the air, looking for a flag after an incompletion on second and 3 from the 44, and on a Cassel interception that was negated by a roughing the passer penalty, Moss did not turn for the underthrown ball.
When asked whether he's had to adjust his play in going from Brady to Cassel, Moss batted away the question.
"You like starting trouble, man," he said. "I'm not going to answer that. Put it in your own column. Next question."
Moss, who had two catches for 22 yards last week against the Jets, said he wasn't concerned about Cassel's confidence level after yesterday's game.
"Not at all. No matter what happens we just really got to stay upbeat," said Moss. "Not just myself, but we got a whole team and coaching staff that has to stay upbeat. I think a lot of people are looking for the captains for all this leadership and change things around, but you have a 53-man roster and all these coaches, that's hard to do.

Everybody is somebody else's weirdo.
His dick is tiny too!
Globe?s Patriots gaffe really lets it all hang out
We must admit, our favorite part of the Boring Broadsheet is the daily litany of corrections, and yesterday?s - a howler about New England Patriot Kevin O?Connell?s penis - was a candidate for the Mea Culpa Hall of Fame!
The Globe?s third apology in its ?For The Record? section read thusly: ?Editors note: A photo on Page C6 in Sunday?s Sports section showed Patriots rookie quarterback Kevin O?Connell wearing a wristband with inappropriate language written on it. The photo did not meet the Globe?s journalistic standards and should not have been published.?
Naaaaaturally this sent us scurrying to the stacks and a close inspection of said photo revealed that, in addition to O?Connell?s plays, his QB wristband was sporting the legend: ?My (bleep) is tiny too!?
But what really made the photo gaffe a complete knee-slapper was the caption. It read: ?The Patriots are refining Kevin O?Connell?s mechanics, but they believe he has the tools to be a top-flight quarterback.?
Pardon us while we ROFL.
