I'd maintain that Randy Moss being at 100 percent on a fast surface on a pleasant weather day will be a bigger edge to the Pats than the fast surface will be to the Giants' edge rushers. Why? Because if Tom Brady is pressured, he can feel the rush. One of his great strengths is getting rid of the ball to his hot receivers at a millisecond's notice. So he may have to dump a few passes off, but the two or three times he can find Moss downfield may be enough to decide this game.

The league was scheduled to take the field out of the building after Media Day to sit it in the parking lot for a day and a half before being put back into the stadium permanently late Wednesday.

The stadium here takes the 120-yard field, which sits on a large tray six inches above the concrete floor of the stadium, in and out of the building on a rail system. This is done to maximize the sun, irrigation and drainage adjacent to the stadium. Because there is a retractable roof here, there's more sunshine available if the grass sits outside, without the walls of the stadium shading the field so much.

One more field note: The grass the two teams will play on was grown at a sod farm in Alabama and trucked here just after the New Year in 18 refrigerated trucks, then laid directly over the sod that had been used for the Fiesta Bowl. "The Fiesta Bowl field would have been perfectly fine if not for all the wear and tear a Super Bowl field takes,'' said Supovitz. "We have all the people on it during Media Day, then some pretty intense practices for the halftime show. So we need a heartier grass.''

Now for a few of your e-mails:

WWRD? (What Will Randy Do?) I had multiple e-mails on Moss' fate, which will be one of the interesting stories of the offseason. Tony Care of Toronto said, "You've twice brought up the possibility of the Jaguars seeking to upgrade their weak wide receiver position by signing Randy Moss. Does this mean you don't think the Patriots will actively attempt to re-sign him in the offseason?"

You're smart to be concerned about Moss' future, if you're a Pats' fan. I could see the Patriots going several different ways here. He's been very valuable to them because of his height and athleticism and his rebirth, a team guy all the way.

How many jump balls has he won? Plenty. How about the game in Miami, when twice Moss was sandwiched by two Dolphin defensive backs in the end zone and he out-jumped them for the ball each time? The combination of Moss and Wes Welker has been pure gold for New England, and a huge reason why they're aiming to become the first undefeated team in 35 years

Trying to figure what that's worth is problematic. Moss will view himself as the best receiver in football and want to be paid thusly. But I don't think the Pats will break the bank to re-sign him. Moss will be 31 next opening day, entering his 11th season in 2008. I'm sure they'll gently remind him after the season -- particularly if they win -- how Brady, Mike Vrabel, Junior Seau and Rodney Harrison have played for less in New England than the market said they could demand elsewhere.

My guess is the offer will be somewhere around four years and $25 million, with an $9-millionish signing bonus. Just a guess. Moss will probably be able to make more money elsewhere in a very weak free-agent wide-receiver market. He'll have to decide if he wants to stay in New England and have a chance to win a championship every year or if he wants to get every last dollar out of the rest of his career. My guess is they'll find a way to stay married, and that somehow, Brady will be involved in the persuasion.

JUST A GOOD, HARD-WORKING FOOTBALL PLAYER. Dan Cassels of Tampa wrote, "I know that the reverence Bucs fans have for the retiring Mike Alstott is not translated throughout the NFL, but I've never understood why."

Alstott, to me, was a pro's pro, a guy who's quite a few bricks shy of the Hall of Fame but one of the best big backs of his day. I liked him because it was always about what was best for the team, and that cliché doesn't always ring true for the big stars. I remember two or three games where his best play wasn't a long run, but a two- or three-yarder that he made out of nothing, leaving a body or two in his wake. He deserves the bouquets he's getting in retirement.

DO NOT -- I REPEAT, DO NOT --TRADE A QUARTERBACK, PHIL SAVAGE. From Cory Crossetti of Chicago. "Even though Cleveland re-signed Derek Anderson, do you think they should keep him and Brady Quinn going into training camp? What are your thoughts on the Browns trading Anderson for a high round pick? As bad as their defense was, they need some help stopping the run and Ellis, Jackson or Maualuga from USC could help big time."

The Cleveland GM has an interesting little quandary, but I maintain it's not much of a quandary at all. You can't trade Derek Anderson. You work for years to develop a quarterback and have the kind of passing-game production the Browns had in 2007. You can't take the triggerman and deal him, figuring that Brady Quinn will step in and pick up right where Anderson left off. You have no idea if Quinn's going to be a solid NFL quarterback or not.

What Savage has to do is keep Anderson around at least one more year, and then make a judgment. If Anderson plays great again next year, then you think of peddling Quinn if you can get good value for him. If not, you hang onto him, and you have an Aaron Rodgers situation on your hands. There are worse things -- like not having a quarterback at all. (Also, just a side note: Rey Maualuga decided to stay at USC for his senior season.)

I HATE GIVING AWAY THIS GAME. From Ashley Morris of New Orleans. "Is it not evil of the NFL to put New Orleans in the London game against the Chargers? Making them travel is one thing -- I can deal with that; but making the fans lose a home game at the Superdome? First of all, the Saints had to play nine road games in 2005, including that monstrosity in the Meadowlands. Second, the Chargers can't even sell out a playoff game, and the Saints have 30k people on the season-ticket waiting list. Is this in any way fair to the New Orleans fans and season-ticket holders (like you)?"

You're right. I don't like the Saints, in such a delicate time, exporting one of their most attractive home games in 2008 to England. Tampa Bay was a better candidate, especially with the Glazer family in the soccer business in England. Tom Benson needs to make some gesture to the fans of New Orleans -- through a charity to help the devastated neighborhoods, for example -- to make the loss of a valuable home game palatable to the people who will miss it.

AT LEAST WE UNDERSTAND WHAT JERRY WAS DOING LAST YEAR. From Randy Wright of Dallas. "Where was all the questioning last year when Jerry Jones did the exact same thing as Danny Snyder by hiring a coordinator before hiring a head coach?"

The difference between Dallas in 2007 and Washington in 2008 is simple. Six or seven years ago, Jerry Jones knew he wanted Jason Garrett to be a coach with the Cowboys. Quarterback coach, offensive coordinator, head coach, something. And when he saw an opening last year with the breakup of the Miami coaching staff, he grabbed it. He knew his head coach was going to be either Norv Turner, Wade Phillips or Garrett.

If it was Turner, Garrett would have been Turner's first choice to be offensive coordinator. If it was Garrett, he was signed. And if it was Phillips, Jones knew Phillips didn't have a primo offensive coordinator in mind, so he wouldn't object to having Garrett be the man. Contrast that to Washington.

I left it open-ended in my column yesterday because we might be surprised and find out Snyder had a head coach in mind all along, and that the guy had approved both Jim Zorn and Greg Blache to be his coordinators. But if the new head coach is, say, Spagnuolo ...
