j2v Posted October 7, 2008 Share Posted October 7, 2008 "Even though Steve Slaton is the starting running back for Houston, he still is a valuable trade target right now. Answer Guys" Can someone with ESPN insider tell me what is said in this article? Wasn't really an article, just a reader question along the lines of "I traded MoJo for Steve Slaton, tell me I did good" and the Answer Guys making him feel good about the deal. Their logic: they're down on MoJo because he's in a committee, yet fail to mention how many carries Ahman Green took from Slaton last week. They also point out how Slaton has more carries than MoJo despite one fewer game played and how he's more of a factor in the passing game. They accurately point out MoJo's line is spotty, but I'm not sure the Texans' line is a whole lot better. Ultimately, IMO it seemed they played up MoJo's shortcomings thus far and kind of glossing over Slaton's in order to give the reader a warm fuzzy feeling about the trade.

michaelman Posted October 7, 2008 Author Share Posted October 7, 2008 Okay I thought they were going to some how factor in Ahman Green (who I already know will get injured in 4 weeks) and write about how Slaton will lose carries... but that's silly...
