There are so many amazing Moss plays, that his name has become a verb…, as in “You got Mossed.”

2024-02-05 01:24:44 +0000 UTCCorner (especially modern day slot corner) is the hardest position to play in the NFL and requires the most athleticism for those exact reasons. It doesn't help that the NFL puts an emphasis on scoring points for casual viewers to enjoy the game more, so you can barely even put your hands on the receiver or battle for the ball. I would NOT want to play any defensive back position in modern day football the way the rules are designed.

2024-01-31 04:42:28 +0000 UTCyeah i agree with both trey and will, in my experience... up to D2 football, which isnt top tier stuff but when i was young i started as qb (which was basically RB at that age) into full time RB/slot reciever, into then corner in later high school and beyond. im shorter than most but quicker at about 5'9, im fast... but not top speed fast. once those tall receivers got full stride it was hard to keep up. corner was so hard.... WRs know exactly what they are doing. so as a corner youre basically always a step behind its just if you can make up for that step. the receivers are always a few inches taller, longer arms, jump higher, but us shorter CBs are generally at our top speed faster then the longer guys or jam the shit out of them at the line.

2024-01-31 01:26:35 +0000 UTCMoss is one of the best WRs in history. But he was not the best teamate. Like a lot of WRs in the NFL, he had a huge ego and a lot of coaches got tired of him.

2024-01-30 22:44:15 +0000 UTCHonestly, having Randy Moss at only #65 feels criminal. I played WR growing up and I learned one of the most valuable skills whenever you're going on a deep route from him. If the DB is playing you man to man (not zone coverage), he's not looking back for the ball, he's waiting for you to extend your hands for the ball...so don't extend your hands until the very last second. Edit : Just an FYI, almost every wide receiver played as a defensive back growing up, and vice versa. It's an ongoing joke in the football world that defensive backs are just receivers who are too short and can't catch the ball. But there is some truth to it. A "tall" defensive back is like 6'1" (most are around 5'10") which is average at most for a wide receiver. Randy was 6'4"

2024-01-30 20:37:46 +0000 UTCThe only thing about putting a WR on Randy moss just to guard him for 1 maybe 2 games a year is every position with maybe the exception of the linemen are specialized positions. You look at an Ed Reed or ( insert a DB) they’ve trained most of their life on the defensive side to shut the receivers down on that first movement. There’s an art to that just like throwing a 60 yard pass and hitting a bullseye. Now there are exception. Deion played most of his career honing his skills as a DB but, he was so dang fast and had great hands that you could put him at receiver or kick/punt returner. If a receiver tried to guard Moss when he was in his prime he’d have twice as many TDs and yard .
