Video Highlight Breakdown of Raiders' Denarius 'Smooth' Moore
"Smooth" it's a nickname the players gave Denarius Moore in training camp, and now the entire world knows why. Moore glides down the field in a gear the defense can't match and adjusts fluidly to attack the ball at the highest point.
Moore is the kind of athlete that makes it look so easy because it seems so naturally effortless. He had 5 catches for 146 yards and 1 TD. Just because he could, he also had a carry for 25 yards.
This highlight has four of those six plays, and there is a breakdown after the jump....
(via BADsChannel)
Quarter 2, 15:00: 3rd and 13 on Bills' 36
Moore does a quick stutter step at 5 yards and bust his guy deep to the outside. Jason Campbell threw one of his worst passes of the game. He could have just drilled it to him and hit him in stride, but instead he lofted it and Moore just beat his defender to the ball, and then held onto it while he got smacked by the oncoming safety.
Quarter 2, 2:00: 1st and 10 on Raiders' 35
Moore gives a quick twist inside, and then busts Leodis McKelvin deep. He has him by two steps, and Campbell lofted a bomb from his own-28 down the right sideline to the Bills-32. The pass was a stride behind Moore, but it was a solid throw. A stride behind is better than a stride in front.
Quarter 4, 11:14: 1st and 10, Bills' 43
Moore takes the double reverse to the 19 for a 25-yard gain. Moore shows off his jets and blows by his blocker Jason Campbell. He then levied a quick stutter step and made the first guy miss.
Quarter 4. 3:15: 1st and 10, 50-yard line
This was the momentarily uplifting and permanently spectacular touchdown pass. Moore streaks down the field in man coverage with a safety over him the whole way. Campbell lets fly with his plant foot on his own-42. Moore toasts the safety, who was not ready for that kind of speed, and then goes up with McKelvin draped on and comes up with the amazing TD grab.
This kid has ball skills that make him a threat in any kind of coverage.

Moore may be better than Ford because of his size and ability IMO
Moore is still raw no doubt but that was an impressive outing for the rookie. I love for but the 3" in height and maybe better hands may give him a bigger upside. They are both game changers and we are pretty blessed to have those 2 young fellas on this team…
Campbell made his best deep passes in a long time the 50 yard’er he gave Moore the only play on the ball. Thats how its done when you don’t under throw the receiver lead him and let him make the play. If that pass is under thrown it’s pick city!
Fuck Imagine Ford and Moore together!! But it's more proper to have a possession WR on the other side instead. (Hagan!)

I still like the thoughts of...
DHB , Hagan, Moore and Ford out there together that could be awesome!
Hmmm.... not me.... It actually made me a bit depressed.
You should’ve worded it like this: Moore, Hagan, Ford, and DHB.
Otherwise…. hmmm…. no….
You just can’t keep a guy that is producing like a 1st round pick on the bench. Ready or not, he has skill and is producing. The numbers don’t lie.

Similar build, great speed, very fluid route running and so SMOOTH lol it’s time to start the hype machine

Better size that Jackson
Jackson slight build let him drop in the draft… Ford is closer to Jackson in size and speed would have loved to have had Jackson!
Ford, Jacoby WR/KR/PR 5-9 185
Jackson, DeSean WR/PR 5-10 175
Moore, Denarius WR/PR/KR 6-0 195
Haha I said 4 some lol for some reason i thought jackson was also 6 ft my mistake thanks for the heigt and weight measurements.
His Play still reminds me of jacksons tho

All 3 of those names are big game players no mistake about that.
I guess why I lean to Ford/Jackson vs. Moore/Jackson is Ford/Jackson are also both Top kick returners and we haven’t seen Moore in that spot yet.
Now punt returns Moore is the man!
Very true didn't think about that I wonder how Moore would do on kr and for some reason I don't buy into jacoby quite yet
I mean he has a ton of talent but his size is what worries we need to play him in the slot IMO

all I can say is....
This is everything Al thought DHB would become. Hopefully he and Hue see they already have the WR they need, and let the kid play. DHB should have to EARN his playing time, which it is obvious that he has yet to do. This kid is a player, and he, plus Ford, Hagan and Murphy would make a nice set of WRs.
I wonder if this kid can play corner??!?!?
He was who we thought he was.
(with Dennis Green accent)
At least the O looked better.
Hagan also.
The D also looked like who we thought they were.
I cringe when we have a less than 9 point lead in the 4th with some time on the clock.
Somehow we need to learn how to play “lights out” on Defense.
As a Raider fan you know we will always get called for penalties.
We need to be better than the other two teams (ref’s & opposition)
That highlight gives me a lot of hope. Jason's comfortable with Denarius, just as he is comfortable with Jacoby
Throw in Chaz and Hagan and we see how much our receivers have notched-up. Plus, when Boss gets back we’ll be stocked. Maybe we can score enough points to beat the Jets.
S-O-B: ITS HOW I ROLL, DEAL WITH IT.

"I love to win, even against my daughters, I want to win" Hue "Action" Jackson 8/19/11
Clearly our most talented WR at the moment...
…. I think his physcial dimensions give him the edge over Ford. Must start next week. Hagen needs to be given his chance too.
