The Cold, Hard Football Facts: With the exception of 2009 starters Ty Warren, who is on injured reserve, and Logan Mankins, who is a holdout, all of New England’s last 11 No. 1 draft picks dating back to 1999 started for their teams last week (or the week before in the case of byes).

I can’t believe I’ve actually gotten to the point where I’m excited for our offense without Randy Moss. Tedy Bruschi echoed some of the points made in this article on his podcast with Mike Reiss saying basically 2007 was an anomaly, and trying to achieve that type of offense against is pretty much impossible. It was lighting in a bottle, and while it got them within 2:31 of being the greatest team of all time it’s time to get back to the bread and butter that won Super Bowls.
Let’s not forget in 2006 we had far less talent at wide receiver than we have now and nearly got to the Super Bowl, if it wasn’t for that second half meltdown in Indy.
Head Coach John Harbaugh said it’s now actually more difficult to scheme for New England because the most recent game film of the Patriots’ offense without one of the game’s elite receivers is from 2006.
“I think with Randy you kind of knew, and pretty much people were starting to play them in a similar way,” Harbaugh said. “What does that mean? How are we going to defend them? Who’s the deep threat?”

BSMW: Moss Media Scorecard
Great summation from one of my favorite sites on the interweb, Boston Sports Media Watch. You could pretty much predict how the Boston mediotcracy would react to the trade before you heard it, and that’s why I don’t listen to it.
