Lamarr Houston, the selfish moron who blew out his knee celebrating a sack while his team was getting blown out, is done for the season.
The guy's not only an idiot, but that was his first sack of the season. And he had all of 8 tackles, or 1 per game. Yet somehow Houston was ranked 20th out of 53 defensive ends by Pro Football Focus.
Pro Football Focus is routinely cited by Weenieworld and others to praise or disparage a player. And like the scouting services, Pro Football Focus seems to be profoundly skewed toward favoring black players over White ones. How could Lamarr Houston be just outside the upper third of players at his position when he had 1 sack and 8 tackles in half a season? Ridiculous. And he plays on a 4-3 defense, where the ends are expected to be more productive than ones on 3-4 defenses. Yet Weenieworld assures us the overpaid Houston's starting job is safe when he comes back next season:
Bears LE Lamarr Houston has been diagnosed with a torn right ACL, and is done for the season. Houston's Sunday takedown of Jimmy Garoppolo is going to go down as the costliest garbage-time sack of the decade. Houston was injured as he attempted to celebrate his first sack of the season with the Bears losing 48-23 in the fourth quarter. In theory, it's a huge blow for the Bears' pass rush, but in the first season of a five-year, $35 million deal, Houston was just No. 20-of-53 in Pro Football Focus' 4-3 end rankings. Going on 28, Houston should keep his starting job for 2015 provided he rehabs without setbacks.
