Santana Moss Discusses The Drop

Santana Moss had a heck of a game yesterday - 8 catches for 72 yards with 2 touchdowns - but it was about even better. On first mastered in the 4th quarter, with the game tied and 4:27 left, Rex Grossman hit Moss in the men with a ball on a go route. The guy covering Moss had fallen down; had Moss caught the egg and fallen on the spot, it would've been a 26 yard gain, but it didn't seem like Moss would make any cause to fall on the spot.

It looked, frankly, like it would've been a 75 yard go-ahead touchdown. The wouldas off of this are ridiculous. It would've given the Redskins a potential shot at the win, completing a truly spectacular comeback. It would've given Moss 9 catches for 149 yards and 3 touchdowns. And it would've given Rex Grossman just under 400 yards passing with 5 touchdowns and only 1 interception. So, yeah, costly drop. The Washington Post has it immortalized on the face page of their sports section, a phenomenal picture that makes me look like I might make up each time I see it. And to his credit, Moss adressed the drop directly today.

"It comes [with the territory], man," Moss said. "You know, I get tired of hearing stuff that . you know, people try to live on stuff, man. I don't wish to be that person. People try to add stuff to you that you're not trying to bring to yourself. "You feel at it, and - I was sick with myself, but when you bet at it, you know, I'm stumbling while trying to make a play. Oh well. You didn't have the play. Put it can you, move on. That's all you can do. When you bring this game, you've gotta have amnesia. You've gotta put it can you, so therefore it's gone and I don't wish to sit about and keep talking around it. Once the plot is over, once the day or two is concluded with, it's rather out your mind. Once you go backwards and looking at it - and I always TiVo the back so I get the opportunity to go backwards and seem at things I did right or I did wrong, and formerly I seen what it was . just wish the guys who've seen it to0. "It was one of those plays that you want you had, but you didn't." The fact that he was stumbling, Moss said, did move the play. "It threw off a lot," he explained. "If you determine the game, you'll see my hands was turned different. It's tough to get a ball when your hands, both of 'em are turned outwards. But I was simply trying to form a play. The orb touched my hands; as a receiver, when it touches your hands, you gotta get it. That's how I put it on myself. I don't feel it as saying, 'Oh, that made me not see it,' I feel at as, 'Santana, you gotta get it.'"
