Rather with him it's more quick screens, slants, 10 yard in's, 10 yard outs, and curls.

Anthony Armstrong and Fred Davis on the other hand seem to be the ones that are getting sent on the deep routes.

He is getting older, and the farther out he goes the speed advantage naturally declines. The farther out you go, the more time the DB has to accelerate to catch up. A WR always has the advantage in the beginning, he knows the snap count and is going forward while the DB has to backpeddle. Santana isn't a spring chicken anymore and is coming to the end of his utility as a #1 or even #2 WR.
