Zenner is a healthy scratch yet again
Zenner is a healthy scratch yet again
Last night's TV ratings hit a TNF low. Ugly numbers. So were the number of empty seats ---see below.

I think these two guys are making around 350K a year. Pretty confident that is the main reason they are not rocking the boat. Much like Burkhead with CINN last year. "Hey, as long as I am on the roster, and do not have to take the hits, why complain or make a stink, I am getting paid pretty well."It's a toss-up between Zach Zenner and Jeff Janis as to who is the most screwed-over current NFL player.
Zach Zenner signed a 3 year $1,580,000 salary 2 years ago, I believe He's making $615,000 this season.I think these two guys are making around 350K a year.

I have a suspicion the "reason" Zenner and Janis arent playing is precisely because they DID say something. It is too obvious their coaches are purposely burying them with spite.I think these two guys are making around 350K a year. Pretty confident that is the main reason they are not rocking the boat.

Close, but I'd vote Jeff Janis. How could the screw job be any worse? He's been nothing but spectacular every chance he gets including preseason. I don't know of any receiver in the NFL with better overall measurables and yet his role has diminished being passed over by 190 lbs rookies with 4.7 speed. Janis would be a sure fire top 5 NFL receiver if he got the chance. Sure the coaching staff is to blame but Aaron Rodgers is a big social justice warrior with an ego to match. He certainly had a role in Janis' poor treatment. He has the look and personality of a guy I'd naturally like to punch in the face just by being around him. I wish him nothing but the worst today in his return.Zach Zenner signed a 3 year $1,580,000 salary 2 years ago, I believe He's making $615,000 this season.
Jeff Janis has a 4 year $2,721,000 salary.
The rookie minimum is $420,000/year

The NFL is about 90% black at WR position, but can you name one white receiver who hasn't been successful when given a chance to start? Most end up being spectacular. The very few white receivers who get a chance to start often end up being top 10 receivers. Adam Thielen, Jordy Nelson, and Cooper Kupp (might be the sole example of a white WR starting as a rookie) are good examples. Thielen may be the best receiver in the NFL - although many regard Julio Jones or antonio Brown as the best. BTW - Janis and Julio Jones almost have identical measurables. In a fair world at least 70% of receivers would be white.
Really looking forward to the Patriots - Steelers today. Very important game. New England looked flat against Miami on Monday night, but they will be up for this game and they get Gronk back. The big question mark of course won't be the offense but the horrible defense that gave up 30 points to the Dolphins last week. They were missing a few defensive starters against Miami. Not sure if they get any back today.
Looking forward to seeing the Vikings win big against the Bengals.
