Pretty good Q&A session with Santana over at WarpathConfidential.
Santana Moss Q&A | Warpath Confidential (http://web.warpathconfidential.com/?p=3601)
Q. How do you feel about the new offense?
A. I’m very excited, especially when you look at the history of work from Denver to Houston. I have a good friend who plays for Houston, Andre [Johnson], and we talk daily and even in the offseason we hang out. And I used to always question him during the season about how he was able to do what he was able to do, knowing he was the guy. I’ve been the guy over here since I’ve been here and my years have been getting tougher to be the guy when everyone is paying attention to me, or just because of the offense I was in, or whatever reason. But I was asking him; ‘what are you doing different than what I am doing?’ Because I thought it was all about something I was not doing on the field right.
But what I realized and what I learned is that it’s about the coaches, what situations they put you in, and how they give you the opportunity to be the guy that they want you to be. With this offense it shows me why Andre’s the guy and why he keeps getting the looks he is getting. It is because the coaches are giving him, day-in and day-out, the opportunities.
I quoted this one, because it both excites me and gives me pause. Obviously, I am hoping that this new offense wows the heck out of us, and we see points go up much more easily. But, the way he phrases it, he seems to shift the reason for his lack of production away from himself entirely. Maybe he doesn't mean it that way. There are a few other interesting questions, so I would say it's worth the read for y'all.
