For those who have been wondering where David Clowney, the Jets speedy receiver who has yet to show off his skills in a regular season game has disappeared to, take a gander at Rex Ryan's dog house.After the Jets beat the Patriots 16-9, Clowney wrote on his Twitter page how disappointed he was that he didn't get to play much in the game: “1 play in the 1st Half, 4 plays in the 2nd half … A bit disappointed about my playing time but very happy and satisfied about the win,” Clowney wrote eight days ago.
Ryan got wind of that post and held Clowney on the inactive list for the Tennessee game. Ryan doesn't like it when players are more concerned about their personal stats, rather than the concept of team first.
“I was upset with him; yep,” Ryan said Monday, “for a couple of reasons. One of them is you’ll hear things if a guy’s unhappy or whatever. I’m not a big Twitter guy, but you hear different things. To me, this is about our team and understanding this is about our team. No individual is bigger than the team.”
Clowney, who had another big pre-season, has yet to make a catch this year in the regular season. He has terrific speed and could be the deep threat the Jets need; that is, if Clowney can stop clowning around and focus on football first.
