SANTONIO MOSS Appreciation Thread, Love Fox Announcer Brian Belicheck (Merged)

[RYANJOHNXI]

I just have to say, it was nice hearing "Santonio" Moss's number called yesterday in a big spot.

[CBass1724]

Epic bump. Well played, sir.

[Warhead36]

Jim Mora would call him Santawna Moss.

Why can't anyone pronounce his name, it's not that hard...

[Mr. Sinister]

Wtf is wrong with Billick? This is like the 5th time that he's done this. The dudes name is Santana.

[RYANJOHNXI]

I just think it's hilarious, it's Billick's been calling games since he was canned by the Ravens. I, however, am dying to find clips of Kenny Albert calling Mark - Scott Brunell. That really made me chuckle.

[Riggo-toni]

In fairness to Billick, he's just getting Moss confused with his favorite guitar player, Carlos Santonio.

[skinsforlife101]

Tim Ryan makes Billick look like god I would rather have Tom and Brain announce any skins game compared to Chris Myers and Tim Ryan also Marv Albert and Rich Gannon were horrible. If you want to make a horrible announcer thread for player identification start with Marv Albert and Chris Myers then work your way up

[Warhead36]

I liked Mike Martz last week.

[Rocky52Mc]

I want Gus Johnson

[PerryMason]

I liked Mike Martz last week.

Martz was like listening to a guy they found in the parking lot do the game....

I just have to say, it was nice hearing "Santonio" Moss's number called yesterday in a big spot.

He may not be the player that he once was, but his veteran experience and the little nuances about the game that he has gained throughout his years makes him an invaluable player. He makes it look so effortless making that great over the shoulder catch and dragging his feet perfectly at the very edge of the endzone. He's made plays like that, especially in the endzone, all year. He made a great over the shoulder catch against the Giants, he had another phenomenal catch/play against the Cowboys and then yesterday against the Eagles. He's been perfect for us all year except for those few pesky fumbles he's never been able to completely put behind him.

I've posted it many times, but I really hope he sticks around next year to break the 10,000 yard mark...not just to barely stick around but I hope he earns the roster spot and is still able contribute.

It was also REALLY great to see Cooley finally get a catch yesterday, and for a first down toward the end of the game too. He's playing his last few games for the Redskins and in the NFL but he still gives it his all and is a capable blocker.

[kingdaddy]

Moss has been great this year.....he needs to be here next year and continue to be a part of this. He's played a key role in the resurgence of this team for sure.

You're being too harsh. If you cut out his horrific broadcasting voice and just listen to the nuggets of real football knowledge he was dropping, I think you have to look at him as a cut above the normal color guy. The problem is, his voice and delivery are so bad it hinders your reception of those things he has in spades, like knowledge of the game and dissecting a given play in a more coach-like manner than you see.

What's interesting to me is that Gruden is a coach but sounds like a moron half the time in the booth but he KNOWS A HELL OF A LOT, and Martz sounds awful but actually DISPLAYS his knowledge, I think.

I agree. I just want both in my color guy.

[baddog]

Santa-tana :pfft: deserves to be here as we get this thing turned around. Although he seemed to disappear at times over the past few years he has been pretty steady and always kept his nose clean and supported the team. I think santana's recommittment/dedication this offseason has really paid off and he will be back. (One of the great benefits of RGIII is the fact that good players are going to want to join/stay with this team... not end of career loosers looking for a final paycheck.)

As for Billick... I can't stand him. He is horrendous... either stating the obvious or saying something inaccurate... almost as bad as Chris Collinsworth who NEVER says ANYTHING of substance. Usually says crap like "On first and ten if you get five yards you are almost halfway there". really?!? :doh:

[elkabong82]

So many were pissed when we traded Coles away for Moss straight up. My how things change, although him being one of the greatest WRs in franchise history could not have been rationally predicted at the time of the trade.

[|2edskins PHD]

McNabb just flubbed bigger than a cow pie.

"Santonio Holmes...errr um Santonio Moss...er umm Santana Moss and Klis Cooley are gonna have to step up".

Donovan McNabb on why he's choosing the Dallass secondary over Garcon....saying they will shut him down and make the other [Redskins?] receivers beat them.

Sigh.... poor #5.

Brooks wore it so much better.

[BRAVEONTHEWARPATH93]

Santana has another Dallas massacre in the tank. I guarantee a TD from the Tana man

Cooley has also had good games against the Cowboys as well.

I'm not expecting much from Cooley but hey, I'd be down for Cooley to go off

[AlvinWaltonIsMyBoy]

Let's go all in and look for a H-Back pass from Cooley to Tana. My lord that would be amazing.

And Brave...don't let guys rib you about your posts in the "chopping block" thread. I got your back. You're my boy Brave! Haha.

[emor09]

Santana has two td's against the Giants and Eagles this year. He's due another one vs Dallas to complete the divisional trend.

[dcsmooth]

Absolutely...a few catches here and there...give the defense someone else to be concern with; and besides, it will certainly get the fans into the game.

thanks man lol...it's all in good fun. We're all on the same team here

[AlvinWaltonIsMyBoy]

Cheers. I never bump my own comments that turn out to be spot on, but if Cooley tosses one up to Tana on Sunday...I'm gonna bump that one for sure.

How many catches is Tana behind Gary Clark? Could he pass him next year?
