Re: Portis: The Ultimate Team Player
 

Clinton is great - agreed. But the organization owes it to him, and it the Redskins themselves, to PITCH HIM THE BALL OUTSIDE MORE. He's not an up-the-gut runner like Ladell. Swing him outside, where he can use his eagle-eye vision, and he becomes a terrifying running back.

Re: Portis: The Ultimate Team Player
 

One thing I admire about Portis is that he doesn't bitch and moan about lack of carries, O-line not opening holes for him, not enough stretch and toss plays...etc. He just goes about doing the little things to help Skins win. If he's asked to block a DE or a LB...he'll do it. If he's asked to play WR...he'll do it. He is a "team first" guy and he's worth his paycheck IMO.

Portis gained his 5000th yard rushing during the Eagles game. The Redskins recognized that by flashing his image on the big screen at FedEx and with a PA announcement so that stadium fans could recognize him, which they loudly did. :biggthump Portis rushed for most of those yards while with Denver.

Does that make the Redskins a first class organization according to the TO definition? :laughing-
