It's a moot point to ast whether Moss matters. He's one of the most gifted WR ever to play, and he will make a difference, either catching the ball or just decoying, he has to be accounted for, ussually with 2 folks.
Actually, the questioned posed above is an interesting one, and one I'm interested in seeing will play out. Hopefully in this game.
As Slag points out, obviously a healthy Moss will be doubled out of the gate, but I'm curious to know if Mangina dares too uncover him with the safety if they are routinely getting burned underneath by Welker or Watson. Or even if Maroney has to much open space to romp around in. I'm not the biggest X's and O's guys (admittedly), but it seems that if Welker and Watson are running open on the intermediate routes with LB routinely having to drop into coverage with them, that's a recipe for defensive disaster, isn't it?
Obviously doubling Moss only works if you can afford the over the top help. But that can't mean "at all costs", can it? At some point, you have to account for other weapons? No?
It'll hopefully be fun watch play out.
Any thoughts?
