2008 Projections

2007 Game Summaries

Week 1 - Moss led the team in targets, but only caught three balls as he suffered from some drops and some inaccurate passes from Campbell. He did not perform like a number one wide receiver

Week 2 - Moss caught two eight yard passes for first downs on first drive of the game. Moss caught a 48 yard pass down the right sideline when he beat his man deep and QB Jason Campbell hit him with a perfect deep ball. The reception set up the Redskins first field goal of the game. Moss was the Redskins most effective offense weapon in the first half as he had five receptions for 84 yards. Moss had a quiet second half but, could have had a much bigger game. He got wide open deep down the middle of the field in the fourth quarter on what would have been a 65 yard touchdown but, Campbell overthrew him.

Week 3 - Moss had an average day catching three of his eight targets for 82 yards, including a 49 yard pass coming from Jason Campbell that set up the second Washington touchdown of the first half. Santana looked quick and was routinely behind the coverage on deep routes, however was only able to haul in one of his long looks from Campbell.

Week 6 - After missing last week's game with a groin injury, Moss did start in this contest but turned in a dreadful performance. In addition to being held without a reception and dropping a couple of balls that hit him in the hands, his third quarter fumble on a reverse was returned 57 yards for a touchdown by CB Charles Woodson. In addition to the turnover in the third quarter, QB Jason Campbell's only interception of the game deflected off the hands of Moss into the arms of Woodson.

Week 7 - Moss continues to be in a slump, posting just eight yards on two catches, both in the second quarter. He pulled himself out of last week's game after he didn't feel right and he wasn't much more effective in this game.

Week 8 - Moss led the Redskins in targets and receptions, although most of the catches were for very short yardage. He was covered well by Asante Samuel and didn't break any big runs after the catch, which was clearly the purpose of the short dink and dunk passes from Campbell. Moss had a few drops and didn't seem to commit to making the catch at times.

Week 9 - Moss led the Redskins in targets, but finished second in yardage. He was an afterthought in the first half, with five of his looks coming after halftime. Moss was primarily targeted on short and slant type routes.

Week 11 - Santana Moss returned from a heel injury, caught nine passes for 121 yards and a touchdown. On the play of the night, Jason Campbell found Moss streaking down the deep right sideline and Moss reached up with one hand and brought the ball in for a beautiful 32 yard gain. He was slightly overthrown in the end zone late in the fourth quarter, and two plays later Campbell threw an interception to essentially end the game. Even with the loss, it was a highly successful return to the lineup for Moss as he produced seven first downs for the Redskins, and was targeted 12 times in the game, four on deep routes. Amazingly, all of this production came in the second half, as his only first half target was a dropped ball.

Week 12 - Moss was targeted 11 times, finishing with five receptions for 37 yards. Moss still looked to be struggling with his foot injury, and did not show any of the explosiveness he's capable of. He lost a fumble on Washington's first drive that led to a Tampa Bay touchdown, and two passes attempted for him were intercepted, including a red zone target on the team's final drive that ended the club's comeback attempt.

Week 13 - Moss had one of his better recent games. He seemed to play inspired ball in an attempt to honor his friend Sean Taylor. Moss finished second on the team in receptions and receiving yards, and frequently picked up key first downs and made tough grabs.

Week 14 - Moss had two catches for 13 yards as the Redskins offense struggled mightily to score points in the first half. He only had one catch for 16 yards in the second half.

Week 15 - Moss served as the spark for the Redskins, catching two long passes and a short one for a total of 75 yards. He was targeted ten times, but only caught three of those balls.

Week 16 - Moss made a great leaping grab for a 32 yard touchdown in the second quarter. Todd Collins threw the ball to his back shoulder and he grabbed the ball out of the air before the well positioned defensive back could stop him.

Week 17 - Moss was Collins' favorite target, and as such led the team in all significant receiving stats. He caught a 42 yard bomb from Collins that scored Washington's game sealing touchdown.

Week 18 - Santana Moss caught six passes for 68 yards on 13 total targets. With the Redskins storming back in the fourth quarter, Moss caught a ball down the field in double coverage for a 30 yard touchdown, giving them the lead with 12 minutes left in the game. Moss also had a great leaping grab on third and eight that extended a Redskins drive a little later Unfortunately, Moss had two key drops, and was targeted on one of Todd Collins' interceptions where it looked as though he gave up on the ball. Marcus Trufant intercepted it and took it back for a 78 yard touchdown, putting the Seahawks up by 14 with five minutes to play.
