2010 Snap Breakdown - Santana Moss | ProFootballFocus.com

For base personelle I could definetely see Moss at X and Garcon at Z.
Like GT said Moss did play a lot of X in base last year and under Zorn Moss was the X.
If Garcon is the the No.1 option and featured Z receiver and there is an open competition at the X I put my money on Tana.

They have apparently already decided that Garcon will play the X. There will not be competition at that position.

Hankerson and Morgan are to fight it out at Z. That would imply that the other would play in 3 WR sets, but that's not necessarily a conclusion. They could keep Moss as the backup X and use him in their 3 WR package in the same role he was already in.

Okay I thought Garcon was gonna be the Z well..If Garcon is the the No.1 option and featured X receiver and there is an open competition at the Z I put my money on Tana.

I could see that if Hankerson never gets healthy, and Moss ends up taking his reps in a fair competition with Morgan.

I would still bet on Morgan though. It's ultimately going to be Kyle's decision, but Mike's a big fan of Morgan.

If Hankerson is healthy and ready to go through OTA's, it's all going to be moot anyway. He'll never come off the field.

This should make for an ultra competitive training camp for the WR corps that's for sure.
I consider whatever production we get form Hankerson as a bonus.

BTW, has it been reported where they're gonna play Garcon?
Because Garcon still seems like more of an Z then an X to me.

Rich Campbell reported that, citing coach Shanahan.

In an open competition I am betting on Santana. No defensive coordinator in the NFL would try to cover Moss with a third corner back. He has been less productive because it has always been double team Moss, because there is no other viable alternative. Hopefully with Garcon, Hankerson as threats and Griffin moving around in the pocket, we see a resurgence for Moss ala like Steve Smith 2011. Bye Bye Gaffney.

Yeah, that article seemed more like his own expectation rather then something he got from coach.

A rarity that I agree with everything you say here. Hankerson is the key to our WR position taking a big leap in production. Healthy, with a full offseason learning the offense and a full training camp he has potential to break out to be a 60 catch guy. If that happens it will open up vertical plays for Garçon and clear out underneath spaces for Morgan/Moss.

Early prediction:

Base: Garcon Z, Moss X
3 Wide: Morgan X, Garcon Z, Moss Slot
