I really want to see him torch one of the league's best corners. If you recall, Moss didn't have a good outing ealier this year against Revis, and was held in check against Champ Bailey too.

Lets break this down.
The first game (week 1, 2007) he dominated to the tune of 183 yards and 1 TD.
The 2nd game of that season came during a wind/rain storm, he only had 5 Rec for 78 yards, but the weather certainly made it extremely hard to throw the ball deep.
Game 3 came in week 2 of 2008. It was Cassel's first start of his career and we all know how much he struggled to throw the ball deep. Again, there was really nothing Moss could do, Cassel simply couldn't get him the ball.
Game 4 week 10, same situation. Cassel was hitting the short/middle stuff but still had trouble with the deep ball.
Game 5 week 2, we all know how ineffective our game plan was. Brady had no time in the pocket, there was a lot of confusion, and he simply didn't look sharp. There was no way Moss could have had a big day in those circumstances.
Outside of NE, in the 2 games Moss faced the Jets, one was with Oakland when Marques Tuiasosopo was the QB and the other game was in '02 (4 rec 86 yards), a game where Culpepper throw 0 TDs and 3 INTs.
Once you look below the surface you will realize that Moss's "lack of success" vs the Jets really has NOTHING to do with him.
