Both are outstanding players, but the guy that affects the defense more than anyone is Randy Moss. I've never seen anyone who will back safeties up 20 years. And I think Minnesota is starting to see now, not only are they missing the big play potential, but the running game is affected as well because all of a sudden people play closer to the scrimmage. While T.O. is an outstanding player, I think Randy changes the game more than anyone.

We have a door open to discuss with the Defense Department what might be available ... The coming year is a crucial time.

[SAN FRANCISCO BAY AREA -- Randy Moss looked around the crowded locker room inside San Francisco's Monster Park. Many of the faces he saw belonged to Raiders teammates who are still somewhat strangers to him. Some, he guessed, had only heard the tales of Randy Moss during his seven-year stay in Minnesota.] They really don't know me, and I really don't know them, ... But one thing for sure that I try to leave them with is I am serious about my J-O-B. Once I retire and leave this game, that's what I want everybody to understand.

People always say that Randy Moss can't stick to the rules. Even my own rules.

I am more into the old school guy than I am with the new school guys. I came in young and I had to pay my dues to be considered a vet. To be able to play for over 10 years at wide receiver, that's why I like looking at the older guys like Larry Fitzgerald, Teddy Ginn Jr., Brian Hartline. That's what I'm about.

I love the game so much. I've been penalized. I've been fined. I have some regrets in my career. But for those four hours on Sunday, you can be free and just let it all go. Retiring had nothing to do with football; it had to do with my family.
