Message: <blockquote data-quote="HardRightEdge" data-source="post: 828789">Moore's size is not the issue.  His Combine agility drills indicate the kind of quickness one would like at the position.  Nelson, Adams:  both of these guys were/are effictive running routes of the slot if not a staple of their play.There may be a fearlessness factor in play, an essential trait in running underneath routes.  His college highlight tape was packed with sideline routes and at least one scouting report indicated he didn't do much in the middle of the field.  I can't say for certain, but perhpas his drops were on those middle routes.Is that fearlessness factor a disposition or something that can be learned?  Hard to say in this case but there's an experience factor to it.  Fearlessness has to be balanced with the smart business decisions, knowing when to run through to space vs. getting to the ground when the hit is sensed.  That's about good presnap reads and spacial awareness at the top of the route.Whether Moore can gain the confidence and skills to get that job done remains to be seen.  Frankly, the outlook is not great but you don't know without trying.Looking on the bright side, the Packers WR coach last season, his first year in that role, was dubbed by one former Packer insider as a fraud while the QB was not sparing in his criticism of rookie preparation.  So, better coaching may help.</blockquote>
