The Lions have named former Wide Receiver Herman Moore as tommorrow's honorary game captain. It is an interesting coincidence that he has been named captain with all of the recent reports on ESPN and in Pro Football Weekly stating that Moore had recently offered up his services to help mentor the Lions young receivers. Supposedly, the current coaching staff apparently rebuked his offer. Herman Moore will remain one of my all-time favorite Lions and it is unfortunate that the Lion's coaches were not willing to let Moore assume a role within the organization.

I know that Shawn Jefferson was hired for the role that Moore wanted to assume, but Moore's body-type makes him a natural candidate to work with "Big" Mike Williams to help him develop his abilities. If only BMW had the instincts and desire that Moore possessed during his heyday. Hopefully, the Lions and Williams can mutually find a way to utilize him as a contributor in their passing game down the stretch.

The Lions also recently placed LB Teddy Lehman on IR. Hopefully, Lehman will be able to return next season fully recovered and capable of making a stronger contribution to what promises to be a very different Lion's roster.
