He looked refreshed, even a little chipper.
He did an impersonation from "Young Frankenstein" and referenced the "Wizard of Id" comic strip. Winning the first game back from retirement has lifted a huge weight off the shoulders of the Washington Redskins coach, who wore a nervous, exhausted demeanor a week ago. "It was an emotional game," said Gibbs, 63. "And I'm glad to get it out of the way." One victory does not a comeback make, but Sunday's win over Tampa Bay was the evidence Gibbs needed to prove he can still hold his own after 12 years away. Gibbs said he'll probably get uptight again as Sunday gets closer, especially given his 1980s history of tough NFC East games at Giants Stadium, where NFL notebook the Redskins play the New York Giants this week.
OWENS AND MOSS: C'mon, T.O., take the bait. Admit you're better than Randy Moss. Say you can run faster, block better, make the most big plays out of double coverage. After all, Monday night's game seems more like Terrell Owens vs. Randy Moss than the Philadelphia Eagles vs.
the Minnesota Vikings. This week, the pair of brash, blunt and boisterous wide receivers who grab more than a few catches have grabbed most of the attention, too. Moss struck first after Sunday's game, saying no receiver sees the coverages he does and that when it comes to him against other receivers in the league there was "no comparison." Owens seemed more amused than bothered by the comment. If Moss wants to pump up his own ability, so be it. Owens made no bold claims of being the best, but it's clear he thought anything Moss can do, he can do just as well.
"I've always given Randy his credit and his just due because he is a great receiver," Owens said. "If he doesn't feel like I'm in comparison to him, that's great. "My thing is, if I were thinking of great receivers who I want to be compared with, I'd obviously say a guy like Jerry Rice or Michael Irvin." Owens also dismissed Moss' claim that no one sees coverage like he does. "I've been double-teamed throughout my career, so it doesn't matter," Owens said.

"When I went to Minnesota in 1992, we had 21 players that were on the roster in 1991 that were not there in 1992, but most people forget Green Bay was like that before Mike Holmgren was there," Green said. "Green Bay had 28 new players. "Both teams had to be turned around. But you don't change for change's sake." The Patriots were a respectable 9-7 in 1999, but Belichick still saw the need for plenty of change when he arrived. He followed a coach, Pete Carroll, who had had completely different systems.
"You just jump in the water and start swimming," Belichick said. "It is what it is. There are a lot of things that need to be done at all levels." The Patriots were fortunate, too, that Tom Brady turned out to such a glorious find in the sixth round of the 2000 draft. Green hopes he has hit on his quarterback with third-year pro Josh McCown, a former thirdround draft pick out of Sam Houston State. "You see a guy (like Brady) who's come a long way from where he was drafted, to be one of the top quarterbacks in the game," McCown said this week, according to the team's official Web site.
"I'm excited about playing against him. It will be fun." McCown showed promise late last season, posting a 1-2 record in three starts. He completed 60 percent of his passes while playing to a solid 82.7 quarterback rating. He gained fame for his stunning performance in a 19-18 win over Minnesota in the 2003 regular-season finale, completing 20 of 33 passes for 224 yards. His 28-yard scoring strike to Nate Poole on the last play of the game to knock the Vikings out of the playoffs.
In a 17-10, season-opening loss at Arizona last week, McCown was average at best, completing 18 of 29 passes for 181 yards with no touchdowns or interceptions. Green said McCown has watched tape of Daunte Culpepper of the Vikings and Peyton Manning of the Colts, quarterbacks who direct offenses similar to the one Green is running in Arizona. "He's had a chance to see a lot of those guys," Green said. "It's kind of like seeing a car that is riding by, and you don't have that car yet, but you say, 'someday, I'm going to have that car and I'm going to enjoy it just as much those guys are enjoying it." There is no doubt Green would like his Arizona team to follow the model used when he was in Minnesota. That means using multiple wide receivers, developing a large offensive line and having a back who can gain yards, often by running away from those receivers and the defenders they draw.
But that will take time because that much change, even if it's for the better, can't take hold overnight. "You have to hang in there," Green said. They will try to, on Sunday. By CHRIS KENNEDY Larry Fitzgerald may have only played one regular-season game in the NFL, but he has already done enough to impress the New England Patriots. The Arizona rookie wide receiver, 'who missed the final three games of the preseason with an ankle injury, caught four passes for 70 yards in his team's 17-10 loss to St.
Louis last Sunday. The 6-foot-3, 223-pound former University of Pittsburgh standout made a splendid, leaping catch between two defenders on the first play from scrimmage. "They're throwing it to him," New England cornerback Ty Law said. "A guy with size like that, why not? "He reminds me of a young Cris Carter, where he can concentrate and pluck the ball out of the air. He's a hands catcher, and you don't see too many.
young guys, rookies with that kind of ball control." The Cardinals selected Fitzgerald third overall in last April's draft, but Arizona coach Dennis Green had known the Minneapolis, Minn. native long before that ever happened. "I knew when he was about eight, nine years old," said Green, who was the coach of the Minnesota Vikings at that time. "He wanted to be a ball boy. I said, 'Hey, you have to be at least "When he turned 12, he was bugging me again about being a ball boy.
So he was outstanding at it, did a great job. He is a very detail-oriented person." Green said Fitzgerald will probably have to battle some ankle soreness, related to that preseason injury, for much of. the year. The rookie's contributions will be especially important this month and next or until last year's rookie sensation, Anquan Boldin, has recovered from the knee injury that sidelines him. BACK TALK: New England Patriots notebook tive for the opener.
EXTRA POINTS: Green did not do coach Bill Belichick did not say much yesterday about running back Kevin Faulk, who is listed as out for Sunday's game for personal reasons. Faulk, who not play in the opener and did not practice yesterday, also has had a knee injury. Belichick did say it was his understanding that a player listed as out on the injury report could have his status upgraded if his situation improved. "If it did, then we would change the report accordingly," the coach said. New England signed seventhyear pro Rabih Abdullah from Lehigh Sept.
11 to add depth at the running back position. Abdullah played four seasons with Tampa Bay and two with Chicago before coming to New England. Belichick said he thought the 6-foot, 235-pound Abdullah could be used in a number of roles, including on special teams. Corey Dillon and Patrick Pass were the only running backs ac- the Patriots any favors when he released veteran guard Pete Kendall, who has started 112 games in the league, on Aug. 1.
Kendall wound up with the Jets. The Cardinals lost a week of their off-season program after players formally complained to the players association. Kendall wound up as the fall guy, although he has denied he turned in the team. Green said the Cardinals draft two centers, and rebuilding teams must draft and then play young players. Tight end Ben Watson (knee) was added to the injury report as probable.
Tom Brady and Jim Miller (shoulders) remained probable, and receiver Troy Brown (knee) is still questionable. Watson missed a portion of practice yesterday. The Patriots were to leave yesterday for Arizona. Post Time Off To The Races!
