How is Jones any better than Portis? Because he doesn't say dumb things? I would be in favor of Jones if it part of a culture change but I am not buying that he is an upgrade on the field.

Re: Portis/ Parker Combination?
 

I think a Portis/Parker platoon could be very interesting, assuming they are both healthy of course.

Exactly and having both of them will likely keep them both healthier and more likely to complete the season than either of them being a workhorse.

Plus ganther
.. assuming we keep him

agree, that is if they're signing a vet to a reasonable contract. I wouldn't mind if they don't sign any fa rb.

I think he was a whole lot better than CP last year. CP looked terrible at times, stumbling on his blockers, losing his balance in the open field.

He's already been released.. The only RB on the roster right now are Portis and Alridge

It was almost comical at times. But it was painful too.

Especially if we add a dash of Montario Hardesty to the mix.

Re: Portis/ Parker Combination?
 

2 injury prone RBs, that's a great idea.

Re: Portis/ Parker Combination?
 

Gainther is still listed on the roster on Redskins.com.

Re: Portis/ Parker Combination?
 

Ganther is gone

We now know that at least five of the tailbacks who finished last season as members of the Redskins -- Rock Cartwright, Ladell Betts, [B]Quinton Ganther[/B], Marcus Mason and Eddie Williams -- will be continuing their careers somewhere else. The Redskins need to reload their backfield and one of the top candidates appears to be Pittsburgh's Willie Parker.

[quote=diehard;670864]Let's end the Alridge love affair already.[/quote]

Let that be a decision for the coaches to make. After all, it was the Denver program that first recommended Alridge to the Redskins. Don't be blindsided by Zorn's opinion of Alridge because he had a problem with the fumbles, there could be a place on this team for a player with his abilities.

I'm with you on this. If he didn't punch the Boise guy he would've been a 1st rounder. Honestly I think the Boise guy deserved to get punched. But I wouldn't reach for the guy. He also had issues besides hitting this guy. A backfield w/ Parker, a rookie and another vet. I'd just cut ties w/ Portis.
