Funny, didn't he blast the Skins for making the Moss trade??
Crow sure is yummy.
ESPN.com - NFL - Bears make case as NFC's best (http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/lastcall?page=lastcall/week4)
What's the old NFL saying about how big players make big plays in big games? Well, sometimes little guys come up big, too, at crunch time. Witness wide receiver Santana Moss (http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/players/profile?statsId=5463) of Washington, the biggest-play guy in a Redskins' passing game that typically relies on the Smurf-sized (5-foot-10, 185 pounds) sixth-year veteran to stretch opposition secondaries to the snapping point. Moss had four catches for 138 yards and three touchdowns on Sunday, including a spectacular 68-yard scoring play that lifted the Redskins over the Jacksonville Jaguars (http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/clubhouse?team=jac) less than two minutes into overtime.
Moss' score was the kind of huge-effort play for which he has become renowned in less than two seasons in Washington, as he squeezed between cornerback Brian Williams (http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/players/profile?statsId=5991) and free safety Deon Grant (http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/players/profile?statsId=5086). The Redskins could ill afford to drop a third game in the first four outings of the season and Moss guaranteed they'd beat the Jags by scoring on short (eight yards), medium (31) and long (68) catches. Three of his four receptions were for 31 yards or longer as he continually bailed out QB Mark Brunell (http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/players/profile?statsId=2485). The three scores were the first of the season for Moss but were reflective of what he has meant to the Redskins in his 20 starts. In that stretch, Moss has 101 receptions for 1,809 yards (17.9-yard average) and 12 touchdowns. The dozen scoring plays have averaged 43.7 yards. Five have been for 50-plus yards, four for 60-plus yards and three for 70-plus yards.
