2030: The Real Story of What Happens to America
Albert Brooks, St. Martin's Press
John J. Kelly
0 Comments · Wednesday, May 18, 2011
Albert Brooks, one of the most creative and influential comedians and filmmakers of the last 40 years, has turned his attention to writing fiction with his suddenly serious yet wholly entertaining first novel, 2030: The Real Story of What Happens To America. In his futuristic tale, Brooks envisions a dystopian America in which we're living longer but not necessarily happier lives.
Five Thousand Years of Slavery
Marjorie Gann and Janet Willen, Tundra Books
Jane Durrell
0 Comments · Wednesday, May 18, 2011
Forget comfortable assumptions about slavery as a terrible habit we've outgrown. Marjorie Gann and Janet Willen, in a crisp history of this ancient element of human life, let us know not only where slavery has been, but where it is today, in places you might not expect.
From Punk to Page
Dead Boys guitarist Cheetah Chrome does book tour
Steven Rosen
0 Comments · Wednesday, March 30, 2011
Chrome, the explosively thrashing guitarist/songwriter with the key American Punk band the Dead Boys, will be at the Comet in Northside at 3:30 p.m. on Sunday as part of the unusual, trend-setting Cleveland Confidential Authors Tour. All three of the authors who will be reading from/signing their books at the free event — Chrome, Mike Hudson and Bob Pfeifer — have their roots in Cleveland Punk bands.
Over-the-Rhine: When Beer Was King
Michael Morgan, The History Press
Stephen Carter-Novotni
0 Comments · Wednesday, March 2, 2011
My first thought was, given Over-the-Rhine's lengthy (if roller-coaster-styled) history as a drinking and entertainment district, "When wasn't beer king in OTR?" But, really, the modern volume of lager pales in consideration of the way things used to be. A century ago, the embattled city core was home to several hundred taverns and more than a dozen breweries.
The Four Stages of Cruelty
Keith Hollihan, Thomas Dunne Books
Stephen Carter-Novotni
0 Comments · Wednesday, March 2, 2011
Lurid, profane and immensely dark, Keith Hollihan's descent into the annals of Ditmarsh Penitentiary makes for a serviceable, pulpy page-turner. It's a mystery thriller that follows the misadventures of Corrections Officer Kali Williams as she uncovers plots of torture and murder that have been carried out by corrupt guards.
Immaculata on Mt. Adams (Review)
James Steiner [Mt. Adams Publishing]
Jane Durrell
0 Comments · Tuesday, February 15, 2011
Author Jim Steiner has done more than write the history of a church — he has demonstrated the flavor of a small neighborhood deeply steeped in Catholicism but divided by heritage.
The Boombox Project (Review)
Lyle Owerko [Abrams Image]
Kevin Britton
0 Comments · Tuesday, February 8, 2011
Through interviews and retrospectives from artists and cultural icons from the era, Lyle Owerko chronicles the role boomboxes played in the democratization of urban music. And though the book contains dozens of Jamel Shabazz-esque shots of boombox-wielding breakdancers from the late '70s and early '80s, it's Owerko's staged photos that truly capture the appeal of the era.
The New Biographical Dictionary of Film (Review)
David Thomson [Knopf]
Jason Gargano
0 Comments · Tuesday, February 8, 2011
Thomson's 1,076-page tome is as addictive as ever, bound to keep readers engrossed as they move from entries that have appeared in every edition since the first (in 1975) to new and/or updated capsules on those who've emerged since his most recent edition in 2004. His elegant prose, incisive critical skills and encyclopedic grasp of film history remain on display, as does his sometimes perplexing omissions, quirky personality, dry wit and seemingly willful subversions of popular opinion.
Life (Review)
Keith Richards [Little Brown Publishers]
Steven Rosen
0 Comments · Wednesday, November 24, 2010
Even though Keith Richards worked with professional writer James Fox on this long-awaited memoir, the voice sounds dead-on true to the "Keef" we know from countless interviews, concert footage, Rolling Stones songs, run-ins with the law, etc.: profane, rambling yet blunt, rough-edged and potentially violent, funny, defiant about his bad habits, passionately unafraid to say what he means and mean what he says.
Rat Girl (Review)
Kristin Hersh [Penguin Books]
Uncle Dave Lewis
0 Comments · Wednesday, November 24, 2010
Kristin Hersh is a known quantity in the Alt-Rock orbit as a solo artist and through her role in the groups Throwing Muses and 50 Foot Wave. Given her extraordinary productivity, perhaps it is not too surprising to see Hersh author a book, and 'Rat Girl' is actually her second of three, starting with 2007's children's book 'Toby Snax' and succeeded by the hardcover book edition of her album 'Crooked' that appeared the day after 'Rat Girl' hit the stands.
Bill Bryson: King of Curiosity
Prolific author discusses living 'At Home'
Jason Gargano
0 Comments · Tuesday, November 9, 2010
How did salt and pepper become our default, go-to spices? Why are there four tines on a fork? How did stairs become so ubiquitous? These are just a few of the curiosities explored in Bill Bryson's latest book, 'At Home: A Short History of Private Life.' He discusses his latest literary endeavor with CityBeat in anticipation of his visit here Saturday for the Mercantile Library's annual Niehoff Lecture.
Newport: The Sin City Years (Review)
Robin Caraway, Arcadia Publishing
Uncle Dave Lewis
0 Comments · Wednesday, October 6, 2010
Back in the 1980s when I was working at the Jockey Club, Newport was in a cultural and financial tailspin. Bereft of its status as a wide open mecca of entertainment and vice, yet still burdened with the sex industry, Newport looked like it was going down for the last count. Newport has since come back in a miraculous way; nevertheless, such transformation never really assuages one's curiosity about the "bad old days."
Augusten Burroughs Lives Through Words
Writing because he has to, not by choice
Jason Gargano
0 Comments · Wednesday, September 29, 2010
Writing saved Augusten Burroughs life. Literally. As anyone who's read his 2002 memoir, Running with Scissors, will attest, the guy has led a challenging life informed by a deeply dysfunctional childhood that included a broken family, drugs, alcohol and a sexual relationship with a man twice his age. Burroughs, who comes to town Saturday for the annual Books By the Banks conference, talks about his meteoric rise to literary fame.
The World of Wayward Comic Book Artist (Review)
Sandy Plunkett, Swallow Press
Jane Durrell
0 Comments · Wednesday, August 11, 2010
Sandy Plunkett reverses the normal order of things. Instead of languishing through youth somewhere in Ohio, longing for New York, he did his languishing in New York's Upper West Side and came to southeast Ohio to find his creative home. The World of a Wayward Comic Book Artist reflects sketchbook/journals Plunkett has kept since 1992, by which time Athens, Ohio, was his town.
Out of the Mountains (Review)
Meredith Sue Willis, Ohio Univerisity Press
Jane Durrell
0 Comments · Wednesday, August 11, 2010
A benefit of our shortened attention spans is the re-emergence of the short story. That pleasurable form of fiction, sliced thinner than a novel but at its best equally compelling, for a decade or two languished out of fashion but returns full of ginger. In Out of the Mountains, Meredith Sue Willis gives her characters the juice of life. Some turn up in more than one story, prompting the pleasure of recognition.

Control deficit but don't hurt schools By: Sen. Tom Harkin June 12, 2011 09:16 PM EDT
"To govern is to choose" is how President John F. Kennedy put it. To bring federal deficits under control, we must be willing to make tough but necessary budgetary choices. But we must be just as willing to say "no" to foolish, destructive choices. This is especially true when it comes to funding the education of our children.
The Republican budget — passed by the House in March and supported last month by all but five GOP senators — calls for yet another tax-break bonanza for millionaires by cutting the top tax rate from 35 percent to 25 percent but demands that we slash funding for education by 15 percent in the next fiscal year, with much deeper cuts in the years that follow. These extreme budgetary choices do not remotely reflect the priorities and values of the American people.
The Republican budget's unprecedented cuts to education could not come at a worse time for public schools. The final budget agreement for the current fiscal year reduced education funding by $1.3 billion and zeroed out the successful Striving Readers initiative, the only comprehensive federal program to help struggling adolescent readers. Meanwhile, cash-strapped state and local governments are slashing school budgets and firing tens of thousands of teachers. In Texas, for example, Gov. Rick Perry has called for a $10 billion cut in education funding. And in New York City, Mayor Mike Bloomberg has proposed laying off 6,000 teachers.
From my perspective as chairman of the Senate appropriations subcommittee that funds federal education programs and the Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee that authorizes education programs, I believe that combined federal, state and local budget cuts pose a grave threat to education reform efforts across the country, just as those efforts are reaching critical mass.
Forty-eight states and the District of Columbia have collaborated to create high-quality common education standards. The Obama administration's Race to the Top initiative has jump-started ambitious state-level reforms ranging from expanded charter schools to stricter teacher accountability. In the HELP committee, I am spearheading bipartisan reform efforts as Congress reauthorizes the Elementary and Secondary Education Act. However, it is wishful thinking to expect improvements in school quality when we are laying off teachers, increasing class sizes and reducing instructional time.
Disturbingly, the Republican budget's assault on education comes when America's global competitors are surging forward. China, for example, has tripled its investment in education and is building hundreds of new universities. Even in times of austerity and shrinking budgets, smart countries do not just turn a chainsaw on themselves. They continue investing in the future.
I have called for a balanced approach to controlling deficits. A prudent but aggressive mix of spending reductions and revenue increases, combined with stronger economic growth and an end to the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, will restore the fiscal discipline that was squandered in the years after President Bill Clinton left office. This restored fiscal foundation will allow us to continue making critical investments in education, infrastructure and research — investments that will put Americans back to work and prepare our children for the future.
A good case in point is early childhood education. Experts agree that high-quality prekindergarten education gives a critical boost to students' long-term academic success. But the quality of early childhood education programs varies widely, and in many states they lack coordination. This fiscal year's appropriations bill that Congress recently enacted addresses these challenges head-on by providing $500 million for a new Race to the Top — Early Learning Challenge grant competition. Just as the original Race to the Top initiative spurred states to make reforms in key areas such as teacher quality and student assessments, this new competition will incentivize states to ensure that more children start school ready to learn. Studies have shown that high-quality preschool returns $7 for every $1 invested. This is a classic example of how cutting education can be penny-wise and pound-foolish. As we go forward with education reform, we are building on strength. Most kids in affluent communities already attend high-quality public schools and go on to higher education. Our challenge is to ensure that all students have this opportunity, including the 20 percent who live in poverty. Certainly, money is not the only factor in creating high-performing schools. But it takes money to modernize school facilities, hire highly qualified teachers, create effective assessment systems and provide appropriate instruction for students with special needs. To demand reform without resources is to set up students and teachers to fail. In the months ahead, Congress will be focused on reducing the deficit and preventing a default on America's debt obligations. This is appropriate and necessary, but it must not preclude sustained, strong investments in the education of our young people. We need to invest more, not less, in helping states and districts close the gap between world-class schools in affluent suburbs and struggling schools in poor urban and rural communities. We need to provide resources to ensure the goal of graduating students who are "college and career ready" applies equally to all students, including those with disabilities. And in the face of steadily rising college tuition, we must maintain the maximum Pell Grant. Pundits have attributed the GOP loss in the special election in New York's 26th Congressional District to voter anxiety over the possibility of deep cuts in Medicare. But public dissatisfaction with the Republican budget goes beyond Medicare. Americans see this budget as unbalanced and unfair. They ask: Why do Republicans insist trillions of dollars are available for new tax cuts, largely for the wealthy, but supposedly we cannot afford to sustain funding for public education and other urgent priorities? For nearly half a century, robust federal investments in quality public schools and access to higher education have been a critical pillar undergirding the American middle class. The Republican budget would take a jackhammer to that pillar. This is a grave mistake. The middle class is the backbone of our nation, and it's time our leaders showed the backbone to defend it. Sen. Tom Harkin (D-Iowa) chairs the Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee and the Appropriations Subcommittee on Labor, Health and Human Services, Education and Related Agencies.

Given all the problems with the game itself, STO still has the amazing potential to be a fantastic RP experience. The problem is the set pieces. Most of the chairs at Drozana, Bajor, or Quarks cannot be sat in. One cannot order a drink from the barkeep and see drinks at their table.
Larger groups and mixed groups would also be nice for neutral locations. One cannot effectively trade barbs like Kirk and Koloth if Kirk and Koloth cannot find one another efficiently.
Star Trek is rich in culture from many races and civilizations but there are very few locations we can actually visit. Most of the planets comprising these systems are dead or mysteriously populated with loitering, hostile aliens squatting ancient ruins of little significance.
All cloaks should be canon.

Topic: Great Society
The War on Poverty a Half Century Later
Today marks the 50th anniversary of the so-called War on Poverty.
It was January 8, 1964, in his Annual Message to the Congress on the State of the Union, where President Lyndon Johnson "declared all-out war on human poverty and unemployment in these United States." He went on to state, "This administration today, here and now, declares unconditional war on poverty in America. I urge this Congress and all Americans to join with me in that effort. It will not be a short or easy struggle, no single weapon or strategy will suffice, but we shall not rest until that war is won. The richest Nation on earth can afford to win it. We cannot afford to lose it."
By most accounts, we did lose it (certainly by no reasonable standard did we win it). It's worth recalling that this period was the high-water mark of liberal confidence. To appreciate just how high the expectations were at the time, consider that the previous month LBJ proclaimed that Americans were living in "the most hopeful times since Christ was born in Bethlehem." And during his State of the Union speech, Johnson set a very high bar for what was possible:
Let us work together to make this year's session the best in the Nation's history. Let this session of Congress be known as the session which did more for civil rights than the last hundred sessions combined; as the session which enacted the most far-reaching tax cut of our time; as the session which declared all-out war on human poverty and unemployment in these United States; as the session which finally recognized the health needs of all our older citizens; as the session which reformed our tangled transportation and transit policies; as the session which achieved the most effective, efficient foreign aid program ever; and as the session which helped to build more homes, more schools, more libraries, and more hospitals than any single session of Congress in the history of our Republic.
All this and more can and must be done. It can be done by this summer, and it can be done without any increase in spending.
There was no obvious ceiling to what progressives thought was achievable. At the time the idea that public-spirited men and women, at the head of the federal government, could transform American society sounded ambitious. Today it sounds fanciful and in some circumstances downright destructive (for more, see the Affordable Care Act).
So what did we learn?
What Lesson Will David Cameron Teach Americans?
The prospect of Florida Governor Charlie Crist pulling out of the Florida Republican Senate primary will, no doubt, send into a tizzy those who want the GOP to move to the center and away from the dreaded Tea Partiers and Sarah Palin. While this is more a matter of a flabby, pointless Crist campaign being knocked out of the box by a hugely popular and principled opponent in Marco Rubio than of a "moderate" being driven from the party by so-called extremists, there's no question that this race is an indication of where the Republicans are headed.
While an independent candidacy by Crist might pose a challenge to Rubio in November, those who have advocated for Republican to move closer to the Democrats on health care and a host of other issues must come to grips with the fact that all the energy and emotion in Florida has come from those who want the GOP to challenge the Obama administration, not to copy it. The point is, when Republicans lose touch with their base and find themselves bogged down in the mushy middle, they tend to lose and lose badly.
Florida's politics couldn't be much more different from those of Britain, but the way the general election in that country is going has to give pause to those who believe that a nonideological candidate and party of the Right is the only way to fight the Left. Conservative Party leader David Cameron thought he was coasting to inevitable victory after 13 years of Labor government. But Cameron, a telegenic upper-class swell, believed that Tories who were actually conservatives couldn't possibly win. So he recast his party to be advocates of global-warming alarmism, criticized the closeness of the Labor government to that of George W. Bush (Obama's disdain for Brits of any political persuasion has taken the juice out of this issue), and proposed an approach to domestic issues based on a communitarian idea of a "Big Society," which sounds suspiciously similar to Lyndon Johnson's "Great Society" liberal boondoggles of the 1960s.
Yet far from greasing the skids to victory, trying to be liberal has actually derailed his campaign. A third party, the Liberal Democrats, is further to the Left than Labor on many issues and has in Nick Clegg, a far more focused leader than either Prime Minister Gordon Brown of Labor or the good-looking but feckless Cameron. Cameron thought that fudging the differences with Labor would make it easier for him to win. But, instead, it has given Clegg and the Lib Dems an opening to be the party of change in Britain. Thus, rather than a Tory cakewalk, the May 6 election looks increasingly like a dead heat that could leave Labor in power by itself or even in coalition with the Liberal Democrats.
It could be that by discarding genuine Conservative ideology (this is the party of Margaret Thatcher, after all), Cameron may be pulling defeat from the jaws of victory. It may be too late for Cameron to tack to the Right and give voters a reason to vote for his party. As it is, a watered-down Conservative Party is rightly seen as no different from the incumbent Laborites to an electorate desperate for a real alternative.
Last November, David Frum wrote in COMMENTARY that Cameron's tactics provided a good lesson for American conservatives as they sought to rebuild from their 2008 defeat. He believed that by tacking to the Left, Cameron had aligned his priorities with those of the country and had essentially volunteered to do what political necessity would have forced him to do anyway. As Frum put it, "the leader you want is someone who appeals to the voters you need to gain, not the voters you already have." Since "educated and professional voters, once the backbone of the Republican party," had swung away from conservatism, Frum believed that Republicans must follow them as Cameron had done.
David Cameron's fate is not yet decided. And we are months away from the proof of whether a candidate like Marco Rubio will lead Republicans to victory in a key state like Florida. But if in abandoning conservative principles Cameron has set the Tories up for a colossal reversal of fortune, it may be that the lesson the handsome Brit will teach his American brethren is how to lose an election that was considered in his pocket — not how to win one.
Not Quick Enough
Quicker than Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid would like, the truth is seeping out about his Medicare switch-and-bait scheme. Remove one version of a public option and slip in the ultimate public option — government-run Medicare. The Wall Street Journal's editors explain:
Mr. Reid's buy-in simply cuts out the middle man. Why go to the trouble of creating a new plan like Medicare when Medicare itself is already handy? A buy-in is an old chestnut of single-payer advocate Pete Stark, and it's the political strategy liberals have tried since the Great Society: Ratchet down the enrollment age for Medicare, boost the income limits to qualify for Medicaid, and soon health care for the entire middle class becomes a taxpayer commitment.
But of course Medicare is already going broke, and doctors are already shortchanged by chintzy reimbursement rates. This creaky ship is expected to take on millions of new patients, many of whom will be among the sickest, as those who don't or can't get insurance elsewhere seek refuge in Medicare.
This mad-cap dash for a plan, any plan, that can garner 60 votes depends on no one paying much attention or heed to what's in it. Unfortunately for Reid, editorial pages, moderate senators, and the public are starting to wake up. ("The latest polls show public support for the Senate plan falling into the mid-30%-range. The remaining supporters must not be paying attention.") It seems that Reid was not quite adept or fast enough to induce a lemming-like stampede to embrace what certainly is the lamest attempt at health-care "reform" yet. In a year in which we've seen some ill-conceived ideas, that's saying something.

- Osječko pivo Winter LabelPackaging
Osječko pivo (Osijek Beer) asked us to design a winter holiday edition of their beer, packaged in small, 0.25l bottles. We used a simple neck label design to make the bottle resemble a Santa Claus. The usual bottle label was printed in red color. This small intervention retained their identity while adding winter flair.
Osječko pivo is the first Croatian Brewery, founded in 1697.http://www.thedieline.com/blog/2011/1/5/osjecko-holiday-edition-beer.html

"I am throwing a shower for my best friend and to make it easier on her afterward, I ordered these thank you cards that match the invitations. They are adorable and a perfect way to keep the red theme!"
"This thank you card is elegantly designed and finished beautifully. A metallic color, like gold or silver, on the black background really stands out, and looks great! Perfect card for a formal wedding and thank you card!"
"This was just what we wanted. The font was moved around so it could be clearly seen, which was great. The photo turned out beautiful and the paper was good quality. This is the second card I have ordered, and once again it's been perfect. Thanks"
"I personalized these with the real color to match our wedding colors and they turned out PERFECT. People called me the day they received them asking where I got the card from. I couldn't have been happier with the way they turned out and the customer service was exceptional. I asked for the sentiment at the bottom to be black instead of white and they sent me the new proof the same day. I can't wait to place another order and wish they did more than just wedding invites!!"
"Everything was perfect (and once again the shipping was fantastic, I ordered it one day and it arrived four days later, way before the anticipated delivery dates!)...the card is simple and photo-based which allows us to display a great picture from the wedding and tailor it to your style; humorous, romantic, eclectic. We loved the postcard design because it's just fun and who doesn't love getting a postcard in the mail? From our Engagement Announcements all the way to the Thank You cards, everyone has raved about the cards! I absolutely RECOMMEND Wedding Paper Divas!!"

I Gave Her my Heart, She Gave Me a Pen
As promised: This was my Halloween costume for the year. Unfortunately, in thinking out all the various parts of the costume--having the boombox actually play "In Your Eyes" from a concealed iPod, making a fake Clash shirt, etc.--I neglected to consider that, unlike my garage where I constructed it, most homes have fairly low ceilings. So for most of the party (as in this picture) the arms were not fully extended. Looked great in the backyard though, with the boombox a full two feet above my head.

Moses and Starling
Moses played one or two games in 2002 for Green Bay, at the end of the season. 5 punts, 4 kickoffs. Then, got cut for Eric Metcalf, (2 kickoffs, 3 punts for a -0.3 yard average). (from the Green Bay website)
So technically, 2002 was his rookie year. But realistically, 2003 was his rookie year. I'm hoping they keep Moses and Starling. Sloan probably on the practice squad. If they want to keep JJ, but aren't playing him anyway, why not classify him as a TE? Or maybe a defensive tackle? Maybe they could classify him as half a defensive tackle, and Sloan as the other half, so he doesn't take up a full roster spot? By the way, per http://www.nfl.com/stats/leaders/NFL/KRET/2004/pre, who's no. 1 in kickoff returns in the preseason? My monitor is too small to read the name clearly... Can anybody help me?

That's why I really hope they stick with the 6 WR and continue to use Moses as the return specialist. They can continue to train Starling on PR and KR and maybe utilize him in that role next season if he works out. |

technically yes vinny, i had thought you'd have known what was meant.
this debate seems to me to come down the importance people put on special teams. my feeling is that a kick returner is a specialist and is critical to any team. dante hall is one of the biggest names in football, why? surely not because he's what 5'9" and makes spectacular catches, no it's because he's able to field a 50 yard kick and make moves noone else on the field can to get his offense in best position possible to score. honestly, who would be displaced if we field a return specialist such as JJ? if a receiver is that person, it's a backup to two other backups. if it's another player, it's going to be someone who wont see much, if any, game time unless there's a blowout. what happens if we only have 4 wr's? we put miller out there if there's going to be a 5 wr set, a better receiver anyways. if one goes down, that means armstrong gets more time to play (which i believe he's going to really suprise folks when given the chance) and we activate the best of our young core from the practice squad as a backup. now if i'm wrong and the arguement is simply JJ isnt good enough, find me anyone on the texans' roster that is better. or find me any "rookies" that gained more yards with fewer fumbles/drops than moses. "slow" isnt much of an arguement, i've already disputed big play potential with stats.

Scooter - I completely agree with you. I'm surprised that the returner's value is considered less than the value of an 11th DB or a 6th receiver. I feel that it is one of the most important roster spots, and I don't mind for a minute if we take up a spot with a true return specialist.

I always liked Tulips I guess JJ is destined to go down in Texans record books as the all time kick off returner at least for now. I love his attitude and faith in his own abilities not to mention he is living his dream. But I'm going to say this, if a returner is worth a roster spot then next year I hope, no I pray that the Texans are able to draft Mark Clayton of OK. Then we can put all this controversy behind us and produce W's.

JJ moses will be on our roster come monday, and everyone in the anti-JJ camp needs to accept it. JJ Moses isn't the most gifted returner in NFL history, but he can give us desirable field position, which is something you can't say for anyone else competing for the job. Vontez Duff was metiocre at best, and Kendrick Starling did not show much better. JJ, on the other hand, did. Many gave him flak for getting run down in the Jets game, but he got us into their red zone, and our offense couldn't punch it in.
I will be disappointed if he gets cut, that's for sure. I don't understand downgrading at a certain position, even if it's 'just' a return man. |

I think JJ will stay.. as well as starling. its not that hard to imagine that we would keep 6 wide receivers in this situation. Though I dont think we will go with 1 less TE... not after the injuries we have had at that position. If anything I think we may cut down at LB.. since we have a decent amount of depth there.. or possibly at CB.
What id really like to see.. if we are gonna keep JJ as a return specialist.. teach him a different position! There has to be something that a guy that size, with that kind of talent can do. Can he tackle? try him at strong saftey and throw him in there on rushing downs... give him a shot as a nickle corner or heck.. try him at outside linebacker (lol).. maybe that shiftyness will get him around the LT. I remember when I played ball in highschool.. there was a guy.. he was about 6'5" and about 125 pounds soaking wet with bricks in his pocket... but he could just slide right by those o-linemen and get to that QB. Dont get me wrong.. I am not saying that JJ has some hidden potential as a huge playmaker at outside linebacker or something.. im just saying that if we are gonna keep him as our KR & PR.. then try him everywhere and make sure he doesnt have potential to actually add some depth to the roster at a different spot.. or at least potential as a situational rusher or HB or something. Hell.. can he throw? maybe he can take the 3rd QB spot and we can get rid of butterfinger banks. |

Actually I think Moses started as a Packer and then was released and went to KC before he came here. Also, you are correct in the fact that he is not going to be eligible for the PS.

1- When you hav a very good one. 2- When you have a very bad one. 3- When you you have no worthwhile position battles to talk about in pre-season Most you of can't name 5 returners off the top of your head, but the texans are one of the team that place a pretty high importance on the position -carried carried Jermaine Lewis the fist year -drafted Dom Davis a KR/3rd in 2003 -drafted Duff a KR in 2004 -Kept Moses as KR only in 2003 |

The Texans have also place high importance on right tackle (different one every year) and many other positions. That happens when you're building a team and you're not completely satisfied with what you have at that position. Last edited by aj.; 09-05-2004 at 11:03 AM. |
