Panthers players claim that Moss shut it down [merged]
 
Panthers say Moss "shut it down" - Extra Points - Boston.com

Quote:
Randy Moss finished today with a single, 16-yard catch, which led to a fumble. Brady's interception was intended for Moss.

And if you asked the Panthers what their gameplan was, it's simple. They helped whoever was covering Moss early on in the game with a safety. Then, once he was frustrated, they no longer needed to. Because by then, it was Game Over for No. 81.

"We knew he was going to shut it down," Panthers corner Chris Gamble told me after the game. "That�s what we wanted to do him. That�s what we did. ... He�d just give up a lot � Slow down, he�s not going deep, not trying to run a route. You can tell, his body language."
Interesting and worrisome.

I hope teams try this in the playoffs!

Because if anyone knows about shutting it down early, it'd be the Carolina Panthers :p

But yeah, Moss didn't play well. I really hope it's due to injury and not attitude. He really hasn't battled for jump balls over the past few weeks, and I can't imagine BB leaving him out there if it's an attitude thing.

IF that makes them feel better...

But it sucks that it's plain to see and now you hear it from the field. Worrisome indeed.

Everyone has bad days.. Moss's day was not good, period. Maybe this talk from other will snap him out of it, whatever "it" is.

I'd also love to know what they did with their defenders if they weren't worried about Moss yet Welker kept destroying them :rolleyes:

I saw him throw at least one great block, I suspect he's dinged up more than we know and he and Brady are out of sync with each other playing with hitches in their giddyups.

The alligator arms, the ridiculously easy drops. All this happening in a week since he was sent home. It's worrisome when it starts to pile up.

Maroney and Faulk, and Morris got off some good runs and forced them to play run first freeing Welker for the slaughter.

True, he set up Welker for a nice block. He easily added 2-3 yards for Welker on the play.
