No they don't.
They also don't run deep vertical routes all game.
Again ... Moss was 2nd in the leauge in catches coming into the game - and it's the most overrated stat in football.
He was only thrown at 3 times because Brady is a smart qb. In the past, Moss has had his biggest outbursts when dumb qb's have tried to force the ball to him when good defenses go to extreme lengths to take him out of the game.
A guy like TO can always muscle a few 5 and 10 yard receptions underneath and take the punishment. You send Moss deep to free up open space underneath and take advantage of Welker one on one in space with a nickel guy and tight ends one on one in space with linebackers.
If you don't send Moss deep - you're not taking two people out of the play with him.
