I agree backrow.  Ginn is the wide receiver version of Reggie Bush.  He is now in his third season and hasn't shown much.  He is actually getting worse!

Ginn is my ff curse this year. Great game by Shockey, Hartline, Camarillo, and Fasano. The top 3 receivers in that game were white!

Colonel you have Ginn on you ff team?  I actually traded Michael Turner in exchange for Jared Allen.  Funny thing is everyone said it was a stupid trade because rb score more points than DE however Allen is doing much better than Turner.  I am getting monster points out of him but this week he did poorly.

Glad to see you can admit it in a good nature way! Yeah go Woodhead I think he is the real deal and has potential to put up monster numbers in the NFL!

I think Leon Washington is finished for the year. Weather or not he's a black guy, he was/is a good back. Now Danny will get some playing time.

It was a good thing as well, that the White QB on the Raiders got on the field. I hope he gets the start next week.

Yeah, I thought Ginn would have a decent year, maybe the 3rd WR option you know. Instead, he's barely a 4th option. Unfortunately my other receivers are either stinking it up, not getting consistent playing time (White), or are on the bye week. Two of my other WRs that I didn't start today, Brian Hartline and Sammy Stroughter had more fantasy points than Ginn. This year has been heck for my fantasy team, plain and simple. The parody of the NFL is really starting to affect everything asociated with it. Maybe this will contribute in some way to the demise of the caste system.

Seemed like a good day for White players. Shockey is looking great, he played a great game despite having a leg problem and a shoulder problem. Hartline looked good, he should be used in the offense more. Not sure why he isn't, Ginn looked terrible, its hard to believe a wr could have that bad of a game.

Didnt see it myself, but good to hear Welker got a carry. They were doing the stats of the most yards after catch the past few years, and Welker was number 1. The two guys behind him were runningbacks, with Westbrook second. He is talented enough to be used in both the passing and running game.Edited by: dwid

Kevin Walter is struggling.  Usually Andre Johnson and Owen Daniels are the stars of the game.  I hope he does better soon.

Owen is really eating into Kevin's grabs. with Johnson, Daniels, Slaton and occasional toss to Anderson or Jacoby/Dreesen, there's only so many balls to go around. Andre Johnson might be out next game with a rib injury, so hopefully things will pick up for KW.

I'm sure it is minor. He should have a decent chance of running the ball this year.

Washington has a broken leg. He is going on the IR. Woodhead is going back to his more natural position. Now all the backs are bumped up one spot. Greene is going to be the power back and Woodhead the Washington scat back/third down receiver out of the back field. Edited by: white is right

Now if the Packers start Havner and somehow Jordy Nelson can heal-up and find his way at least into the #3 spot, then the Packers may be the team to root for. I've been waiting a long time for the Packers to get a white TE again. Havner was a career linebacker in college and is playing TE this year for the first time in his pro football career. What a great week for Castefootball!

Glad to hear that Washington's injury isn't a permanent or chronic one. So this means I can be completely Woodheadedly ecstatic! Woodhead will get his rightful shot. The Jets won't resign Washington to a big contract or will trade him if he holds out again hopefully. We could have a future tandem of Greene and Woodhead at tailback. Would Rex Ryan be so bold to have a great thunder and lightning combo?

What's ironic is that Hartline played with Ginn for a few seasons at Ohio State. And Ginn was definitely a bigger star, and now Hartline may be overtaking Ginn. How many other NFL teams have former college teammates in the top 4 WRs?

"It can't get much worse for Raiders, if they are going to start giving away long runs to Danny Woodhead"

I also heard that hilarious quote, which was uttered by the always steadfast casteon talking-head, Dan DinkleDork.

That fat oaf should have been more worried about insulting the pathetic Raiders defense than "poking fun"Â￾ at a young white running back who could outrun everyone of the field. Everyone involved in this league is corrupt to the core, even the puppet announcers reading from their master scripts.

Neither of the "professional broadcasters"Â￾ even knew who Danny Woodhead was, and were both shocked that a "WR" was getting carries at RB. Nice pre-game "research,"Â￾ losers.Edited by: Thrashen

It seems like none of these guys do their homework. They always fall back on caste-speak to cover up the fact they know so little about the player. It's much easier to use sterotypes then actually get acquainted with them. Woodhead had a tremendous pre-season, record setting actually so you think that would have got the attention of an announcer that is supposed to live and breathe football. But no, all he can see is a little white guy so of course he must suck. That's why local announcers are so much better, they know the players and will give a white guy props (usually) if they have seen his athleticism.

For a while after the Jets games ended, ESPN didn't even have Danny listed on the box score. Now he's credited with 3 runs for 24 yards and 2 solo tackles.

I'm glad to see Danny have his day. While on the stat line it's nothing epic, this day was huge though. For anyone to make it that far, to play in a regular season NFL game is a huge accomplishment. And to think not even two months ago he got the dreaded word that he was CUT. Now, I'm sure he was hopeful and thought he'd get picked up for the PS, but when you get cut there are no guarantees at all. I'm sure he was getting condolences from close family and friends, encouragement to keep his head up, and reassurance that he would succeed in whatever he does. To go from that night were he didn't know what the future held to running the ball on the NFL field is nothing short of amazing!

I wasn't watching when Dierdorf

insulted Woodhead as I try to avoid watching Oakland and the numerous other awful teams whenever possible, but was watching when the second half began and DuhMarcus was yanked in favor of Gradkowski. Dierdorf first criticized the move, saying Russell is the future, he needs to keep playing and learning, etc. Then he added that they weren't going to get anything better out of Gradkowski and Charlie Frye. Then after Gradkowski went in and a shot of DuhMarcus standing on the sideline was shown, Dierdorf went into high praise mode, saying how wonderful it was that Russell wasn't sitting on the bench sulking. Dierdorf gives Uncle Cris and the rest of the worst of the white announcers a run for their money.

Hartline is also doing far better than Brian Robiskie, the coach's son who was touted as the most "NFL ready" receiver in this year's draft. Robiskie's been terrible all year to this point, with exactly 1 catch on the season despite having a golden opportunity to be a starter right off the bat with the departure of Stallworth and then Edwards. He started yesterday and was targeted 5 times for 0 receptions. Edited by: Don Wassall
