That was a disgusting cheap shot. I don't understand why no one else seems to be upset about it.

Slauson ought to be fined for intentiomal cut block in knees from tthe rear.

The league should make that illegal if done on anyone anytime.

Looks like he's out for the year with a torn ACL.

I am so ****************ing sick of my players getting hurt on dirty ass plays from a-hole opponents.

I hope Slauson gets nailed for this. He intentionally went back and dove at Cushing's knee.

Tweet @nfl and @nflcommish to urge them to review this.

SR610: According to SR610's John McClain, Texans ILB Brian Cushing suffered a torn ACL Monday night and is done for the season. http://cbsloc.al/UBNhUm

Where is the NFL's protection on blocks below the waist like that on Cushing. Double standard!

What do we do to replace Cush....??? I guess the options are:

1) Use what we have and hope Sharpton comes back, can stay healthy, and performs - Highly unlikely and unreliable, IMO.

2) Hope like hell Dobbins, etc can perform at a high level - Highly unlikely, IMO

3) Trade for a player - If there's ever a season to go all-in and make a trade this would be the one, IMO. I'd love to see them make a deal for a good ILB, and worse case, he'd be an upgrade to James for next year when Cushing hopefully returns. However, we all know Smith and Kubiak are fairly conservative and will likely play it safe and go sign a veteran FA ILB like Stephen Cooper or Barret Rudd for depth with the hope they find youth in a bottle.

4) Pilfer a Practice Squad - This is obviously a gamble since, well, you're getting an unproven player that's sitting on a PS. There must be a reason for that, right? If they decide to go this route, Josh Bynes w/BALT looks intriguing. He's on a 3-4 defensive team with major LB talent in front of him so maybe there's some real talent there and he'd be somewhat of a lower risk pickup than a PS ILB from another team.

Any other trade possibilities or PS players you can think of?? Man, this sucks!

Best case scenario, we won't get Sharpton back at full speed until after the bye week.

And yes, this really, really, sucks.

Problem with Sharpton is he can't stay on the field. I think the team is fooling themselves if they really believe they can rely on him as an option.

Well, looks like the worst has happened. Torn ACL. Expect Kubes to officially announce it shortly.
