Moss: Giants knew my routes

If it looked like the Giants knew everything that was coming Monday night, there's a reason. They often did. At least that's what Redskins receiver Santana Moss said Wednesday.

"Those guys were prepared," Moss said. "They knew everything. I remember guys calling my routes off of my alignments. It's very interesting. When we play the Giants, they come up with a whole different game plan. I've never seen the same thing playing them. Out of all the times we've played them, they come up with something different the first and second game.

"Those guys knew more than us and knew things that we were doing before the snap. It's hard to do something if someone is waiting on you to do it. Or they're putting you in a situation where they want you to check into it so they can get you to do what they know you're going to do.  You can't get off the ball here and there and you can't be yourself at the quarterback position. If he's out of whack, we're out of whack."

Moss said other teams do not call out the Redskins' pass routes at the line.

"You might see it now and then, where a team might look at something, but to hear it wows you at times," Moss said. "Before you're running routes, you hear guys saying they're looking for this. We ran a route one time where I knew they knew my alignment so I changed it and when they called out ... I heard the guys talking, saying I thought he would do this. I was shaking my head."
