I disagree that you need a "nice tall possession receiver" for this, or any, offense to thrive.
Jerry Rice is 6-2 and played around 190lbs. John Taylor 6-1 185. They teamed to be one of the most explosive WCO offense ever.
Of modern players, Deion Branch (should be the Seahawks #1 wr currently) is 5-9 and Nate Burleson (#2) is listed at 6-0 but I think that's with cleats on.
Packers run a similar variation with Greg Jennings (5-11) and Donald Driver (6-0).
DeSean Jackson is 5-10 and he has looked pretty awesome for the Eagles.

Moss and ARE are 5-10. It's not a height issue for them it's a catch the ball even though you will get hit. That's why on 3rd and 8 they'll run a 7 yd cross expecting to catch in stride and run away. Where they are limited is inside the 10 yd line where the rules favor the wr (see the Giants game when the cb was pushed down and flagged) and a tall strong wr should be unstoppable. But for the other 90 yards they should excel. Once in the Red Zone, run a screen, run the ball or toss it to Cooley or Yoder. Or just score from 17 yards out.


A good coach fits his offense around his players not try to force good players into a system.

Moss spent alot of time this offseason with Campbell to make sure they were on the same page. Something he did'nt do last year. He takes the blame for that. It has paid off and I expect him to have a great year.

The screen for a TD was vintage 2005 Moss. I think he's is playing with a bit of a chip on his shoulder right now, and this offense is definitely geared towards getting him the ball. It's a good combo.

And kudos for Zorn for bringing back our best offensive play that Saunders scrapped for no good reason.

amen.

the personnel on this team thrive under the screen. Moss, Cooley, ARE, you name it. we're good with the screen. just wait till we start throwing in a fake screen here and there... and the offense opens right on up.

How about Jason Campbell and his 100.1 passer rating, 65% completion, 4 TD's and 0 INT's. I love Moss but we should be talking about the guy throwing him the ball.

We are...have you missed the other threads? Seems like all we have talked about is Campbell to this point this year, Moss deserved some love.

The only one I could find was the 'JC is not what I thought' thread that was bumped after the AZ game. But I regress...

Just an FYI, if you do a search of his name, you'll find all the threads that speak about him even though his name might not be in the title. There are about 7 in the last 10 days that are mainly about him.

now we just need to throw that stupid 3rd and 2 dump off to cooley gibbs called about 18 times a game and we'll be good to go.

about moss - he is a #1 WHEN HEALTHY. once he hammy blows, his season is pretty much over. in 05 it never happened, and we all saw what that was like...

your forgot, he had a bad heel injury last year and thats why he didnt play so good last year.

BTW, did anyone see Brandon Lloyd get another TD this year?? that shit pisses me off so much, I hop ehe snaps his legs, im sorry.

[DirtyLandry]

LOL> I love the part when he says Moss would not make it on a college team. I needed a good laugh.

[skinsfan69]

He needed to play well cause of Thomas and Kelly. When a team drafts two guys with the first two picks that tells you something. But it's good to see him getting back to his old form.

[FRPLG]

pRayers for health. he is a game changer when he is at full speed and able to do his magic. Once he gets dinged though He is invisible almost. I lvoe what he csn do for us but I also know how quickly he becomes useless to us.

[hesscl34]

Moss being 5'10 has never affected his play and it's not going to start. He's 205lbs of muscle and he is fast as hell. He's a total play maker that ALWAYS gets the YAC. We are blessed to have him as a Skin, and now that JC is getting the ball to him you will all once again see that he's a true probowler. GO TANA MAN!
