Great receivers think alike.

Both Randy Moss and Wes Welker are feeling good about the New England Patriots' offense. And with a healthy Tom Brady expected back, what's not to like?


Moss tells Tim Graham of ESPN.com that the offense will be even better than in 2007, when Moss caught 23 of Brady's record 50 TD passes:

"The sky's the limit for this offense. I think that we could be a little bit better than two years ago.

"I'm very excited for us as an offense. I'm excited for us as a team. There's a lot of good things about Tom Brady coming back that excites the people, the fans, the coaches and the players around here.

"All we can hope is to come out with smoking guns."

Welker echoes Moss' sentiments in an interview with Peter King of Sports Illustrated:

"I feel we've gotten better. Back in '07, Randy and I were in our first year here, and I don't know about Randy, but I was worried about where the hell I was supposed to line up a lot of that season.

"Now, with so many touches over the last two years, the offense is second nature to us. This is a complicated offense, and getting to know it takes time. But now I think we both know it well, and we're on the same page with Tom every snap. Our goal is to continue to get better. I hope we can. We've got some good new weapons here, and it'll be great for us to get on the field together to see what we can do.''
