If there is a jump ball in the end zone, who would you rather have defending than Randy Moss?
It's a bad idea because covering a receiver is very different from being a receiver, and also would you trust Moss to tackle a receiver on a quickout? The only possibility is to throw him in at free safety, but why would you do that, he's never shown the ability to read the QB and jump an interception. I think he's too lanky to have the necessary agility and cutting ability to blanket a receiver.
I'd rather have a defensive back, because if I'm an opposing QB who sees Randy Moss in the end zone, I'm calling a play to run right at him: it's an 11-on-10 game with Moss on D.
No one's going to throw a jump ball vs. Randy Moss.
Using Moss as a CB on obvious Hail Mary plays is fine, but as a regular red zone CB? No way.
