Woah, i still think Moss should be the number one target. I would rather see him as the Z receiver because with Cooley and Moss on the same side of the field it would be harder for teams to double both of them. When Moss gets doubled Cooley should have a favorable match-up. And as the Z receiver he gets a free release and can go in motion.

Conversely, whoever plays X receiver would then have the benefits that Moss doesn't when he plays the X because teams focus on Moss.

Moss is still the best receiver on this team.

I agree with you that if we switched Moss and Randle El in our formations, it might help both of them produce more. We use Randle El and Cooley in a lot of route combinations. Perhaps Moss would benefit from running these route combinations instead.

On non-timing plays though, Moss is still pretty effective. It's those three step drop or five step blitz beaters that he's really struggling with.
