Expect Moore out of Lance

Steve Geller / steve@wwl.com Reporting
Saints wide receiver Lance Moore is far from satisfied, despite winning a Super Bowl last year. He was limited by a shoulder injury he suffered lifting weights before training camp last summer and missed time during the season with ankle and hamstring problems.

"I'm hungry. Last year was not me. I missed nine weeks, and I can't allow that to happen. I've got to take better care of my body and be ready when they call on me," Moore said.

In every practice you see a guy who looks like he wants it more than anybody else. Moore's routes have been flawless, and his hands have been a vacuum. I haven't seen any ball thrown his way hit the ground.

Moore says, "I have to go out there and do it every day. That's something I take pride in, and it's gotten me to this point; knowing what to do and catching the ball. Hopefully I'll be able to continue to do that. I just wish camp was over, and the season started. It's been awhile since I've felt this good, but it's a grind, and I'm willing to put in the work to get there"

With the brutal schedule of training camp, Moore was asked if he will start to take it easy as the days wear on.

"No, you can't reel it back. This is training camp. You have to come out here and compete every single day, every single play. Any moment you pump the brakes somebody is going to get you, and I can't let that happen."

Moore is working hard for a long term deal to. He signed his restricted free agent tender for this season and is set to become a free agent at the end of the year. Does that impact the way he approaches the coming season?

The 27 year old's response? "I can't think about that. The only thing I can think about is what I have to do on each specific play. If I let that get in my mind, then I'm not doing what I need to be doing, and that's competing on every single play."

With the way this offense is run, and the talent that's on the team now, it will be hard for Lance Moore to duplicate his 2008-09 season when he caught 79 passes. One thing we can count on though is his sure hands and tireless worth ethic to be the best he can possibly be.

Moore was an undrafted free agent in 2005. The Browns discarded him, and the Saints picked him up initially for their practice squad.
