I love all 4, but you guys must realize, if you watched the dallas and browns game closely, who is covering welker at the line? a linebacker..sometimes a CB...Moss was bodied on every down with 2 or 3 bodies, usually the safetys lining up 2 in dallas's nickel coverage..Wade Phillips even said pre-game that dallas was going to use the browns strategy and make the other recievers beat them..now dont get me wrong, Welker is awesome, i live down here and miami and loved to see him play, but he is even greater now because of the moss defensive schemes that are being employed..welker & donte will get 100+ yards every game if they continue to put 3 bodies on moss..so I'll take moss as he opens it up for brady like you've never seen before, i'll take welker 2nd.
FOXBORO - Wade Phillips has thrown down the challenge. He’s watched what Cleveland coach Romeo Crennel did to neutralize Randy Moss, and since it’s a copycat league, he’s about to mimic the Browns’ plan.
“We’re going to put three on Moss and try to keep him down all we can,” Phillips said during a conference call Wednesday. “It’s hard to do with great receivers, and they have a lot of other people, but we’re going to try to keep as many as we can on Moss and try and hold on with the rest of them.”
“Any NFL team that has a weapon like Randy, you know defenses are going to make adjustments. If a defense is smart, they’ll take him away,” Pats tight end Kyle Brady said yesterday. “When they do, there should be plays to be made in other parts of the field.”
