The Vatican Hitsquad Posted October 16, 2006 Share Posted October 16, 2006 Awesome, I didn't think you were paying attention. Now why can't you get all the others to fall into line? We try SO hard... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skrappy1 Posted October 16, 2006 Share Posted October 16, 2006 As bad as the Raiders are right now, I wonder why they don't throw the ball up to Moss more often, like they just did on that last play. I realize it might get picked every now and then, but in the long run it could only help them, right? I mean, they don't even move the ball they way they play now.

Skrappy1 Posted October 16, 2006 Share Posted October 16, 2006 And I guess there's the other end of that strategy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chavez Posted October 16, 2006 Author Share Posted October 16, 2006 And I guess there's the other end of that strategy. Moss has to be TRYING on every play, for one. The QB should just tell him in the Huddle "dude, it's coming to you"; that way you don't have to worry about him jogging up into the stand to get a hot dog when everyone else is running their pattern or blocking.
