Conversely, whoever plays X receiver would then have the benefits that Moss doesn't when he plays the X because teams focus on Moss.
Moss is still the best receiver on this team.

I agree with you that if we switched Moss and Randle El in our formations, it might help both of them produce more. We use Randle El and Cooley in a lot of route combinations. Perhaps Moss would benefit from running these route combinations instead.
On non-timing plays though, Moss is still pretty effective. It's those three step drop or five step blitz beaters that he's really struggling with.
