With Randy Moss not at today’s practice, and Wes Welker remaining on the physically unable to perform list, the first-unit offense had a little bit of zip taken off its fastball. Quarterback Tom Brady, whose competitiveness in practice often sets a hard-working tone, seemed frustrated with what was unfolding in 11-on-11 two-minute drill work. At one point, he turned both of his palms in the air, as if to say "What’s going on here?" Another time, he had to hold the ball because there wasn’t an open target down the field, and the play was blown dead. Of course, some credit needs to go to the defense as well, as this practice had a considerably different feel than Sunday night, when the Brady-led offense was sizzling in the red zone. If there was a main positive to the Moss-less practice for the offense, it gave the receivers a chance to work at different spots. That’s where the value of someone like Jabar Gaffney, who plays all the spots, can be seen.
