I'm not discounting anything! It was an amazing one- handed catch.
But it always amazes me how everytime someone makes a one-handed catch people think it's the greatest thing ever.
At training camp, playing catch, Carter would, in one motion, one- hand a
catch and throw it behind his back into the seats.
This isn't the first time I've said it, go out in the back yard and take a stab at a few.
But yes this was a step up or two, and the situation was unreal

And all of those were in no pressure situations - and without defenders.

And its not just "someone" making a big deal about it. Its HoF WRs and current great players making a huge deal about it.

Right. And the moment and the pressure make some better.
All those HOFers could make the same catch.
Where i jumped on board was it wasn't an Impossible catch - for those people - with the idea that one handed catches are giving too much credit as great not saying this wasnt incredible.

- some things you don't touch, this is one of them, as i found out ...

This catch was far more than just a "one-handed" catch.

I have heard it said that Moss had some amazing catches during practices, ones that some veterans had never seen before.

Diggs had almost an equal in the same game.

Not close. That was an 8 WR's out of 10 could have caught one.

The catch where moss positioned himself perfectly and jumped over Woodson to snatch the ball from in front of Woodson comes to mind. A great catch for the ages that is famous and still underrated. It’s underrated because the genius of it was how moss took away a sure INT and turned it into a catch with his incredible skill of knowing where the ball was going and positioning himself properly. No other WR in history had that combo of awareness and leaping ability.

Maybe it could be argued "ripping it out of the defenders hands" providesd the stability he needed to maintain control

The defender on the play, said something to the effect, that next time he would just knock the ball down, instead of trying for the interception.

I want the best right guard we can get - move ingram to the left side and make cleveland an all-purpose backup lineman...maybe even trade o'neill next year and move cleveland to right tackle....


we're going to pay darisaw and Jefferson....

Christian Darrisaw also made a remark that facing Ed Donatell's defense in practice didn't prepare them for games.

"Those [Flores] looks, we weren't seeing those last year, and we'd kind of get into games and teams would run a certain defense and we were negatively affected."

-After two practices, Alexander Mattison used "intense" four times to describe the defense under Brian Flores: "Mentally from the backfield looking at that defensive front, those backers and how they’re moving around -- the way they’re lining up out the gate is very intense."
