"The attention flattered Santana Moss. It also served as frustration. Moss couldn't do much about it, and when defenses doubled him they also took him out of the offense.

So the new coaching staff moved him to the slot. They sent him in motion. They combated any extra attention he received.

Moss enters the season finale having already tied his career best with 84 receptions. And he has 1,041 yards and six touchdowns.

Now the extra attention Moss could get will come in the offseason, when he becomes a free agent. Not that he's thinking about that right now, mind you.

"Hopefully I'll be here," he said. "I'm a Redskin right now. That's all I pretty much care about. All the other stuff that happens is out of my control."

Regardless, he's shown that he's a good fit for Kyle Shanahan's offense. At 5-foot-10, Moss has good size in the slot, where he can use his shiftiness to get free. It's also harder -- but certainly not impossible -- to double-team in the slot. Moss also goes in motion more than he had in the previous two seasons under Jim Zorn. Moss said he hasn't played in the slot full-time since college.

"The routes inside, you can get open a little faster by putting a couple moves on that guy and getting him out of the break," Moss said. "This offense is phenomenal when it comes to getting receivers the ball."

The last two seasons he finished with 70 and 79 catches, respectively -- and nine combined touchdowns. But when the Redskins hired Mike Shanahan and he brought in his son, Kyle, from Houston, Moss was excited. They were as well."
