Stretching the field...

[The Indomitable DrugS]

is what fear of giving up the deep ball does.


* Welker's biggest play of the game:

(Moss is at the top of the photo. He has a corner 3 yards past him. The corner on Moss has underneath help from a line backer - and deep help from a safety. Meanwhile, Welker gets to stroll untouched into a HUGE space in the middle of the field at the 20. If the safety hadn't started the play by playing super deep - Welker wouldn't have so much room)





* Ben Watson's biggest play of the game:

(Moss is in the middle of the field & going deep. He's getting triple teamed. 3 Panther defenders have a triangle around him. Two other Panther defenders are standing at 39 and 31 yard line, towards the bottom of the screen, with their thumbs in their butt and nothing happening around them.

5 different defenders are being accounted for by either Randy Moss or open space he has created by going deep.

This leaves Brady with enough time to eat a hot dog - and two excellently favorable one-on-one match-ups to exploit. Those are the type of plays that made so many BUM qb's put up all-world numbers with Moss)





Anyone think Wes Welker would be 1/5th as successful as he has been in New England when he's playing on a team where opposing defenses don't respect and fear the deep ball?

If you want to take Moss out of the game and triple team him early on like so ....



You're probably going to accomplish that. I'm not sure it's going to help you win ... but hey, it will probably lead to Moss having a bad stats day - and give the gossip writers who call themselves football journalists reason to say he isn't trying.
