He has not been what I thought he was going to be this early but the 2nd half of the season will tell us more about him. Juju being out sucks but this is a good opportunity for the kid to make plays.
I think he’s just behind the gun here. He’s not taking snaps this year from Juju, MVS or Hardman. Now he’s definitely not taking snaps from Toney, who will probably take snaps from Hardman himself.
If we didn’t have Toney I think Moore would be the one getting the plays that Toney got last week.

Still not sure where I'm supposed to see this.
A 10 yard split and dusting the MAC?
This gets back to where we were a couple days ago when it was suggested he had 'elite level timing in short area skills' - he simply doesn't. Never did.
It's a thing folks have convinced themselves of that...isn't.
Does he have quick feet? Yeah - but they don't seem to translate to his 3-cone time. Does he have a fast 10 yard split? Yeah - but his 40 is...okay. And frankly, we've seen Toney already make a play where
slowing down created a throwing lane as he approached the sideline. Merely having a good 10 yard split doesn't mean you have a premier short-area skill.
To this point there are declaratory statements that continue to be made that simply aren't supported by the evidence we've seen. None of that is permanent, but it's absolutely the present lay of the land.
