ESPN MAG on S. Moss

My friend gave me an old copy that had Vince Young on the cover because it had a S. Moss interview in it.
I jotted down some interesting tidbits out of it to share with you all.

Moss never received massages while in NY. He also doesn't get his upperboddy rubbed down but just his legs which are kneeded weekly. Moss felt that bad luck and poor body treatment on his end of the stick kept him sidelined. He met Melvyn Williams during minicamp and even then was bothered by his hammy from his NY days. Needless to say Williams is doing his job.
The second 2D in Dallas(1) game was a play called "dino". Moss's route was designed to be a decoy to springey and he NEVER received the ball on that play during training camp or any other time they ran it. He actually joked to Stan Hixon before they played the Pukes about him getting the ball on that play.
Patten brought a route from NE with him called "Poker". In it, the wideout tries to sell a post, and when the safety buys and sprints deep, the receiver cuts off to a curl. (Post. Curl. Po-Cur. Get it?)
If you see Brunell giving Moss a thumbs up, that doesn't mean "good job". It means "were you open?" and a thumbs up in reply means yes.
