Are the Patriots better without Randy Moss?

I don't understand why more teams don't try and copy cat what the Cleveland Browns did on defense to the Pats.

They kept guys standing up and walking around pre-snap - sometimes as many as 10 guys up on obvious passing downs. They had the safties up and were begging Brady to beat them with long passes.

Cleveland's game plan was pretty simple - basically dare Brady to beat them deep and confuse him on passing downs by having guys walking around pre snap.
