What production from the former number one overall pick! Maybe this should go in the Recent Busts thread:

Jadaveon Clowney has played in all seven games for the Titans this year but has just 11 solo tackles with 0 sacks. After regularly seeing more than 80% of the snaps early on, his playing time is also trending down to the point he played a season-low 45 snaps (62%) this week. Even in leagues that classify him as a defensive end, his fantasy value has to be quite low, and there is little reason to think he’ll suddenly turn things around.

They paid him 12 million + 3 million in incentives for this. Again his career was made off of one play in a bowl game vs. Michigan.

I remember him opting out of the season, so not to get hurt......Didn’t sit well with a lot of folks.....
Lots of us questioned his work ethic.....Dude got paid.

River Cracraft and Trent Taylor should both start or play Thursday for the 49ers. They only have 4 wr available I believe

there’s a chance they call up finke and have 3 active

Hopefully Taylor becomes a focal point of the offense during the second half of the season. Would be great to see Cracraft and potentially Finke out there too. I am assuming Mullens will get the starting gig tomorrow.

This is a49ers/Packers matchup devastated by injuries and "Covid".

Looking forward to seeing Mullens out there with Taylor and Cracraft! They should also use their all Pro FB a bit more. He's capable of a 100yd rushing performance.

Chris Finke was JUST cut right before the game!!! I’m positive this was why.

Finkes Norte dame teammate chase claypool made this comment, the friend he’s referring to on the 49ers is Finke allegedly. As soon as this surfaced, Finke was cut even though they desperately need WR. Pathetic.

Snitched on Finke, inadvertently..

The Patriots just signed veteran 3-tech DT Ryan Glasgow... to their practice squad. He's been in the periphery of the League for 7+ years.

What an impressive family! He's the oldest brother of three, but he's had his career derailed by some injuries.

The youngest bro, rookie Jordan Glasgow, is practice-squading somewhere.

None of them received football schlolarships! Fortunately, their well-to-do parents were also Michigan fans.

The Dolphins were utterly stupid in drafting Tua Tagovailoa instead of Herbert. Whoever did that should be fired.

I said this from the beginning. I like Tua, but the pick should have been Herbert. Unfortunately, it's looking like it was an ownership move rather than a football decision in order to sell tickets.

So WR Adam Humphries gets skulled by a usual suspect, it isn't called on the field yet he suffered a concussion and will be out today against the Bears. Way to crack down on skull shots NFL. Really paying attention when white players get nailed by punk cheap shot artists.

That annoying Carolina HC is sort of saying CM will be back today.

WR Jake Kumerow was activated by the Bills but LB Matt Milano was placed on IR.

WR Gehrig Dieter was called up by the Chiefs.

There is a goodie tonight as the Saints and Bucs square off. Will the Saints follow up last week's terrific performance by Taysom Hill and play him more? Will Scotty Miller be pushed aside as they have everyone back including newcomer Antonio Brown?

But I am stuck with half ass afternoon games. Although the Giants-Washington game isn't half bad from my point of view. The Ravens-Colts is not a "fun" game for me. The late game is Pittsburgh-Dallas. Not a white WR for miles. I feel the same way about the Steelers defense that I felt about the 49ers defense. I always thought if the 49ers went without Bosa they would slip dramatically. On cue that is what is happening. Same with Steelers. Take Watt out of the equation and there would be a big drop off. Let's see if LB Spillane can hang on to his starter role past half time?

Yep no incentive for fighting against anti-white bias though - sports mirror society in that regard! Again if anyone has social media just comment on these stories.

What little cracks of progress we've seen and then we get this.. :flipa:

Yep...quick sweep whitey back under the rug. I am doing what I can but again it's on white athletes to speak up en masse during the recruiting process or the draft process. I can't blame them for not speaking up because they all know what will happen for telling the truth. I just saw a funny commercial while watching MACtion - a black woman stated "an injustice against one race is an injustice against every race" - pure BS when it comes to situations where it is advantageous to be black. It only applies when blacks are pushing the victim card on their behalf.

Christian McCaffrey Is out in this week's game with a shoulder injury according to ESPN. CMAC is seeking a second opinion.
