Re: Portis unlikely to play sunday,BETTS to start
 

I think that if CP can't go and Betts is coming off injury, Alexander could have his time to shine in 08 .. i'm sure he's chomping at the bit to have a monster game on Sunday night and prove he has some gas left in the tank .. don't get me wrong i'd love to have CP play, but it's looking worse each day. We have depth, that's why we have all those RB's .. let's see if it can pay off for us !!

Cooley needs some red zone TD's .. i'm thinking 2 would be nice

Re: Portis unlikely to play sunday,BETTS to start
 

I think we're going to see a RB by committee....if Betts was 100% he'd be the main back, but he prob won't be.

Re: Portis unlikely to play sunday,BETTS to start
 

man.. dang

hopefully we can still attack, maybe have a bit more of an electric offense, let the pass open up the run for betts and crew

Re: Portis unlikely to play sunday,BETTS to start
 

listen carefully. Portis will not miss this game. They are going to have to put him in restraints to keep from getting in the game. If he's hurting that bad, I don't want him playing. On the other hand, I really don't like our chances without him.

30 degrees in DC at game time? BAD Hammy weather

Re: Portis unlikely to play sunday,BETTS to start
 

I honestly think that Alexander should start because he might have a breakout game, and he finally has a chance to be a starter again. With betts coming off an injury, this could be out best option.

As crazy as this idea seems, it may be one that the Skins should consider.
True, Alexander hasn't done jack...but that is coming off the bench.
Is Betts better?...of course.
But if Betts is injured and can have a setback....we may have to deal with Alexander running the ball the rest of the year.
We need to have either Betts or Portis available long term and if it is only 1 game to fix Betts up to be the man...we should consider it...."CRINGE'

WTF is wrong with the Redskins trainers? We had two weeks and it seems according to the wires that they are hurtin more than they were after that beatdown. I don't know the Dallas Cryboys are a depserate wounded animal so if we don't come with our A game, I can't see us coming out on top come Sunday nite.

How can I say this without being a complete asshole...

Nothing is wrong with the trainers. You can have the best trainers in the World working in a world-class facility, and still have lingering issues like these. That is simply the hazards of playing the game.

Re: Portis unlikely to play sunday,BETTS to start
 

The only reason we are "worse" is because of Portis' injury. Santana, JT, LB, and I am sure ALOT of other players who were feeling burned are recharged and ready to go. Football, especially the way Portis plays it, is a violent sport, we will see a refreshed team coming out Sunday night. (of course the same holds true for the cowboys...)

IS Santana going to play? I don't hear jack up here in Detroit, but last I heard he was questionable. I guess I have to get on NFL.com.

From the interview I saw in the last day or so with Tana. He is slowly recovering from the hammy pull. But is ready to go and will be the #1 wide out Sunday to light up the girls.

YOU ASSHOLE! j/k--good post! ;)

Re: Portis unlikely to play sunday,BETTS to start
 

BTW--I really hope Betts is ready. He's had some big late season games for us. Now would be a great time to get him back.
