Ellis speaks

Hey all --

Ellis Hobbs met with a small group of Boston media folks today, and though we were there, he covered most all of the topics we wrote about in this article last month.

Hobbs is continuing his rehab from a second surgery on his left wrist, and said he continues to be cautious, working around the wrist in the weight room. He was wearing a black brace on the wrist, but said he can certainly still work on what's most important for him -- his wheels.

One thing that was new from when we talked to him last month was the acquisition of receiver Randy Moss. Hobbs said when he was younger and Moss was tearing up the NFL, he and his friends would say a corner "got Mossed" if they were beaten deep and Moss out-leaped them for the ball.

Hobbs reiterated that he likes the additions to the roster, but doesn't want New England to be just "paper champs."
