[CBFF] - Part of this must be subterfuge

[Jason Cetina]

FYI, I went and checked. Moose and Darryl Drake have been with the Bears 
the same amount of time.

Maybe its Drake.

Moose's stats just don't merit being a starter:


	REC 	YDS 	AVG 	LNG 	TD 	ATT 	YDS 	AVG 	LNG 	TD 	FUM 	LST
2007 	35 	511 	14.6 	44 	3 	0 	0 	0.0 	0 	0 	0 	0


Underwhelming.
