it's almost identical to what I was saying about Thuney -- he often attacked or took a really short set rather than kick back/out and form a pocket.
Moore does a lot of that. But I think the 49ers asked him to. That's just the nature of their offense.
So I can see why he'd say that but I also don't think that's a real comment on Moore's ability as much as how he was utilized.

I already see a much more natural fluidness in Moore’s sets compared to Thuney and I think it does enable him to anchor better.
My thought would be, if Andy Reid asks him to come in and vertical set the majority of the time, well that’s an Andy Reid problem and it would indicate an unwillingness to evolve with the game.
You gotta work around your tackle play these days more often than not. Set them up to succeed. It doesn’t just help them, it helps your $500M QB.
