Lenny P gives Moss game ball
Funny, didn't he blast the Skins for making the Moss trade??
Crow sure is yummy. [url=http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/lastcall?page=lastcall/week4]ESPN.com - NFL - Bears make case as NFC's best[/url] What's the old NFL saying about how big players make big plays in big games? Well, sometimes [I]little[/I] guys come up big, too, at crunch time. Witness wide receiver [URL="http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/players/profile?statsId=5463"][COLOR=#000000]Santana Moss[/COLOR][/URL] 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 [URL="http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/clubhouse?team=jac"][COLOR=#000000]Jacksonville Jaguars[/COLOR][/URL] 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 [URL="http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/players/profile?statsId=5991"][COLOR=#000000]Brian Williams[/COLOR][/URL] and free safety [URL="http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/players/profile?statsId=5086"][COLOR=#000000]Deon Grant[/COLOR][/URL]. 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 [URL="http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/players/profile?statsId=2485"][COLOR=#000000]Mark Brunell[/COLOR][/URL]. 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. |

Re: Lenny P gives Moss game ball
Those stats at the end are insane. I mean they seem more on par with playing Madden than a real NFL game.
I wonder who will be considered the bigger pick up in the future: Moss or Portis. |
Re: Lenny P gives Moss game ball
He still had to take a jab at Brunell "as he continually baild out QB Mark Brunell" who the heck does he think threw him the ball. Now if he said he bailed out the team I would not have a problem with that. Didn't Rock bail us out with that return, how about Halls 3 kicks, or Portis's running, our line blowing the Ravens off the line. We won as a team it just happend that Moss was the last player to score the win for the "TEAM".

I noticed that too. It seems unnessecary to say he "bailed him out." As I said in another thread, Steve Young seemed to think that very few QBs in the league could have made that throw in OT. |

I'm cooking Moss dinner after practice... with all of the fixings... and icecream too...

I'll vote for that! Nice to see the Pasta-man giving a little credit, but did he really call Moss a smurf? |

I'll admit, I hated him 2 weeks ago because he blew. Now, with Portis back helping the offense click, he's looking good again and thatr makes me happy. I might seem like I'm being fickle, but I feel like I'm being realistic. |

I'll give him props - I think he did exactly what he needed to do in this game. A couple of his throws looked shaky, but he looked comfortable back there. Of course, I never said pull him, I just said he needed to continue to improve. Bring on the Gyants! |
