Moss only got one pass thrown his way

I agree, and I'm okay with that, Smith foes a fine job with the football, doesn't take to many risks. I think the reason we looked bad in Minnesota was we went away from letting Smith just get the ball out to the open receiver, it seemed to me that we were trying to force it to Moss.

My point is this, Moss has not been that significant and upgrade over what we got from Ginn last year, he's better, but he's not young Randy Moss better!

Would Ted Ginn draw three defenders if we sent him deep?

The DBs and defensive coaches still see a threat in Moss, why else would there be 3 defenders in the deep with the guy? The fear is still there because they still see it on tape. Smith and the play calling just have to click with the dude. I'll just say its a ace up the 9ers sleeves. When the time is right, someones going to get Mossed.

Well Keapernick threw long to Moss and Moss drew triple coverage. So I do believe Moss can take the top off of a defense

mmm, maybe we are thinking of two different things. I'm thinking of pulling overhead safety coverage when you burn the corner, not the corner staying with you along with both safeties (or whoever else that happens to be in the immediate area). He didn't burn anyone, he draws coverage but not because he has created problems, it's because of his name.

because of his name? OK!

yes, because he is Randy Moss...the possibilites alone draw coverage. I haven't seen one play that would demand a defenses attention, unless it's the one where he ran FREE into the endzone and scored. Can you think of one?
