Santana Moss needs the damn ball

Stacks42...man I agree with you..i havent seen the flea-flicker in the Skins arsenal in awhile...back in the day with Gibbs (version 1) it was fairly common play. However, with that said , the flea-flicker (like all deep pass plays) require time in the pocket and JC just hasnt been getting it.

Joe Theismann went down for good on a flea-flicker......Leave that play alone.

I understand the need to protect the gaps closest to the QB, and honestly, he does a good job at keeping teams from pressuring Campbell up the middle. It just changes the whole complection of the passing offense when you realize that some 5 man blitzes absolutely can not be handled by fewer than 7 blockers.

Now, if the opponent brings 6, Campbell's going to get the ball out hot. But the 5 man rush is the bane of our passing offense right now.

I think the key is pass protection. JC was not able to exploit any DB mismatches b/c the line wasn't protecting him (and the Rams were thin at DB).

Moss did have a bad drop that killed the promising opening drive, and another on a tougher play later on the right sideline, so he got more than two balls. To Moss's credit, he doesn't cry for the ball like the litany of WR divas throughout the league. If anything, he seems to be blocking better than I ever recall, which certainly helps Portis turn an 8 yard run into a 25 yard run.
