Aliquippa, PA (Beaver County) - He began the season as a member of the Pittsburgh Ballers and it appeared as if he would have a promising year after pulling in 27 receptions and 421 yards after the first 4 games.
However the next two weeks Moss had a total of 2 receptions for 22 yards combined. Most would not panic yet rookie coach, Jason Kirkland, did more than that...
"Man, I was traded straight up for Julius Jones. Are you kidding me?!?... Aliquippa clearly got the better end of the deal. I'm not knocking Julius. He has potential. But man, I been gettin' it done." The shocking part of this deal is that it was offered BY PITTSBURGH! All the Rabid Ghosts had to do was accept. Since the trade Santana Moss has returned to normalcy by catching 13 balls for 215 yards over the past two weeks. During the most recent week against the hapless Lions he even returned a punt 80 yards to paydirt. According to the Washington Post, Moss was named the NFC Special Teams Player of the Week. When asked about this feat Moss replied, "It's all good. I'm a team player. And I'm special. Damn right!"
He returns to Pittsburgh on MNF although this is against the only legit football team in the Steelers. His hamstring injury may sideline him for this game but he will have plenty of time to recover during his bye in week 10.
Moss hopes to help Aliquippa return to their 3rd FAA Championship Game this decade.
