Moss had zero chance to break one of those, and what better way to loosen that aggressive CB coverage than to challenge them downfield?

From what I have seen from going to a game (Giants) and from what I have seen on TV (which is much harder to see) we have plenty of 15 to 20 yard routs. In the Giants game I saw 7 to 8 wide open WR's which JC did not see and it was not a case of not having enough time. In other games I have seen open WR's which JC missed and hit the short pass. So yes Gibbs in some cases has gone consevative but in allot of cases its JC not hitting the deaper guy. I'm not blaming JC just pointing out that he is still young and missing allot of bigger plays. I do agree that we need to try and hit some deeper passes but against the Pats that would have really opened JC up to taking some hits.
