He recognizes every blitz and always picks up the right guy. You can't put a price tag on that, especially with our QB.

The extra weight he's put on over the course of 2011 and 2012 has definitely helped there. Moreno used to always make the right reads but would occasionally just get overwhelmed by a LB. Now he's a bit bigger and is a lot tougher when setting a block.
