The gist of the article is that we might well be getting the petulant, half-committed Moss of the last two or three years, and not the guy who was a surefire first-ballot Hall of Famer a few years ago. There is little new or surprising in the interpretation, but Borges does a pretty good job of getting some inside insights.
I think the simplest way to conceive things, however, is that the Patriots, from management, to Belichick and the coaching staff, and especially down to the players simply will not put up with the bullshit that Moss can shovel. The first time he tries to pull a TO on Brady I can forecast ten guys grinding him into the turf and Belichick cracking down on Moss when all is said and done.
I hate seeing New England fans get too cocky about the offseason, but one thing for sure is true: New England ain't Oakland, nor is it Minnesota. If Moss cannot get it done physically anymore, we and he will have to adjust. But if the problem is one of attitude, that will be smacked out of him by the first week of camp.

I have to believe that if the Patriots organization can take an absolute mental train wreck in the form of Corey Dillon and get the maximum productivity out of him as they did with no distractions that I can think of (I figured there would be at least some form of public bitching from him last year as Maroney got more and more carries, but there weren't), then I see some bright days ahead for the Pats and their fans. I'm also thinking the Brady/Moss combo in fantasy football next year is going to do a lot of damage.
