I don't think it's a conspiracy that we haven't gotten to Moss too often.
Our scheme has us use a variety of formations and packages, depending on what we're going for. Obviously, we go Jumbo package when we want to tire out the defense and run the ball. Kyle Williams and Mario Manningham are often the two guys we'll use for reverses, and fake reverses. Delanie Walker comes in when we want to show a balance between run and pass.
Randy Moss is meant to be a deep threat for our team-- to make defenses pay when they load 8 man into the box, and to get easy comeback routes when defenders give him too much respect.
So far, defenses have been giving Randy Moss respect. The deep pass isn't really there, but his presence is still being known. Alex Smith has been thriving with the short and intermediate passes, with a large part due to Randy Moss and Vernon Davis.
In short, he's DOING his job. He's being a decoy. When defenses start playing more aggressively against the short and intermediate throws, I think we'll see bigger plays from Randy Moss.

Originally posted by diablo:Correct, you give a 20 yard cushion and will just take the short stuff to moss all day. We played calvin deep, with 2 safties back, and they tried to take the short stuff with him, but willis and bowman in the middle doesn't make that easy. Moss is a decoy on the field, opens up every other player, and if they forget about him we hit him. Either way, randy will do whatever the coach's want, very motivated for a ring, got little time left in the nfl to get one.

This is game fellas!
- Back to the Metrodome
- Vikings game planning for Davis, Crabtree, and Manningham
- Vikings secondary is bad
- Deep down, Harbaugh knows it's important to give Moss a big game every once and awhile to keep him sharp and focused
