Brooks Quotes
RANDY IS GETTING UPSET?
After roughly a year of being, for the most part, a good soldier in a crappy army, Raiders receiver Randy Moss is sounding off. The question, as we see it, is whether it's a one-time thing or whether he'll continue to make his feelings known, especially if (as it appears) the Raiders struggle again in 2006. The reason? Moss was unhappy that he didn't get more of a chance to delight the crowd at the Metrodome in his exhibition return to Minnesota. "I was just more ticked because I've never in my career been taken out of a game, preseason, during a drive," Moss said. "It's funny to me. I don't call the shots. I guess I just go back to the drawing board." At this point, however, it's not clear what the "drawing board" will reveal. In a Monday night interview with ESPN's Suzy Kolber, Raiders quarterback Aaron Brooks hinted that: (1) Moss is already running his mouth about getting the ball; and (2) Brooks isn't inclined to listen to it. "I don't pay any attention to him," Brooks said. "I just wanna give him the ball, so he can make some plays out on the field when we need him to. He can talk all he wants, do his thing, I'm not gonna get in his way, [i] just want him to make some plays, too. "You can't overdo it. You can't look for him every single snap. That'll get a quarterback in trouble. . . . Randy, he wants the ball pretty much every time, but at the same time I'm gonna run the offense as expected and he'll get his touches at the end of the night." Moss reportedly stewed after making his only reception and then being pulled out of the game. "I just wanted to come in and see the fans and give them something really to scream about because I've had my fun here in this Metrodome and they've had theirs, too," Moss said. "That's one thing I really just wanted to come back and just give back to the fans. The organization? To hell with them." So even though Moss's long-term future with the Raiders is as up in the air as one of those Brad Johnson/Randall Cunningham/Jeff George/Daunte Culpepper/Gus Frerotte bombs under which he used to run, it's looking more and more clear that, even if he leaves Oakland, he won't be coming back to Minnesota. "I think that they, the people in the stands with the 84s on and whatnot, I think they understand now that I'm a Raider and there's no coming back, and I don't really want to come back." http://www.profootballtalk.com/rumormill.htm

Okay, he never said anything only the obvious, that you cannot throw to him all the time. People will blow anything out of proportion. Randy seemed more upset about shell pulling him then Brooks.

it's understandable he wanted more time I think everyone would but we really need him for the regular season.

Thanks. Hope Brooks can step up and grasp this system because I think everyone is running out of patience.

As much as I love Moss I have to say that the game was not all about him being in the spotlight to show love to his old fans. I think that seems a little selfish. Brooks speaks the truth about needing to run the offense how it is expected from Shell.

People's temper's flair during the heat of the moment in the game. After the game is over and he has had time to calm down he will be ok.

I think thats just AB's personality...
the same way he smiles after INT's... he is just shrugging the anger off... He is a pretty happy guy... I will say that.

Hmmm... AB is NOT throwing to Moss, our best Receiver...
AB's stats at this point pretty much suck... Our first team offense has yet to sustain a drive... Playbook looks like its taking too long for pass routes to develop... Have not seen much play action yet... Run game is not working at this time... Brooks is throwing crappy balls while under pressure... Brooks needs some Public relations lessons... anything which can be spun by the press, will be spun by the press... I hope this comes together soon, or its going to be a lonnnggggg year.
