Who gets the first carry of 2007?
 

Assuming that we have both CP and LB, which one will get the first carry in 2007, and why? Me personally I hope it aint LB because I would like to get the ball in the ENDZONE!

Re: Who gets the first carry of 2007?
 

Jason Campbell.

There has to be some sort of Chris Samuels end around in that playbook.

Re: Who gets the first carry of 2007?
 

Well Portis will be healthy b/c we're barely going to let him on the field in preseason. Portis is also the starter. So I would say Portis. Can I say it again? Portis.

Of coarse the Center will touch the ball first, Campbell will second. I was asking which of the two so called high powered RB's in our tandum would get the rock first. I like the Chris Samuels end around though. Who will pull and block Campbell?

Re: Who gets the first carry of 2007?
 

Portis has been a proven player over the years. He will get the 1st carry.
Betts had a good year(except 2 fumbles that lost games),
but not good enough to supplant CP

Re: Who gets the first carry of 2007?
 

Mike Sellers is also a good candidate. But realisticly, WR screen to Santanna Moss for a quick 6!

ARE for a punt return-touchdown of course

I would love to believe that, but he has not done it in Burgandy and Gold.

Hilarity ensues.

This is actually a legal play.

I think the first play of the season will be a pass in which Campbell scrambles for 5ish yards.

But the back's question is an easy one. Portis, barring injury.

I dont remeber him scoring a touchdown, did he? If he did I must have been drunk. Thats right I was, I had to numb the pain I knew that we were playing Indy. I wasn't one of the so called genus's that actually thought we were going to win.

Re: Who gets the first carry of 2007?
 

CP up the middle, good conservative run.
***NOTE TO THE FO***
Keep this man off the field durning pre-season play, he seems to think he's Sean Talyor during preseason.

we did that last year and portis will get the first carry

Re: Who gets the first carry of 2007?
 

who cares?

Re: Who gets the first carry of 2007?
 

Randle-El on an end around. Gibbs fires Saunders immediately.

Re: Who gets the first carry of 2007?
 

It may seem like an insignificant question to ask, but I think giving it to Portis first sends a message to the team that Clinton is still the #1 back (as he should be). In fact, I think you hand it to Clinton 5 times before you give it to Betts, just to make sure the team gets the message loud and clear.

Portis is one of the team leaders and he needs to continue to be viewed as such.

Re: Who gets the first carry of 2007?
 

This is quite a clever way of starting another Betts v. Portis debate, I must say

Re: Who gets the first carry of 2007?
 

Mike Sellers up the gut for 2!

Re: Who gets the first carry of 2007?
 

I think we should trade Ladell AND CP and let Rock just be in there for every play.

Re: Who gets the first carry of 2007?
 

It starts of as a simple run up the middle with Betts. Only it's not so simple. Betts takes the handoff and charges for the generously large gap that Samuels has provided. At the last moment he stops, turns to his left and laterals to a streaking Santanna Moss who races in the backfield to his right. He then hands the ball off to Portis who heads back in the reverse direction. Portis stops short of the line of scrimmage and chucks the ball 20 yards downfield to Cooley. Cooley catches the ball and pitches it to a streaking Lloyd who races 47 yards for the score.

OK, so now we have 13 men on the field... I say we trade everyone and just have the Dirt Bags, Mark Brunell & Rock in the back field... we are going to be so good that we can play everyone with only 7 men on the field to their 11... that way they can keep the score close.... but we will still go 16-0 in the regular season.

13 men? 2 wr's, 2 rb's, 1 te, 1qb and 5 linemen. I count 11 men in my fantasy football play sequence.

Regardless, I agree that we should restrict ourselves this year to make the games seem closer in contest. Either that or we should play against the AFC Pro Bowl team for the championship.

I was just being sarcastic... not particularly about your comment... more of all of these threads that become Ports v Betts.

Re: Who gets the first carry of 2007?
 

Mike Sellers. 2nd and 1 after a 9 yard out to Moss. Sellers gets the 1st.

Re: Who gets the first carry of 2007?
 

I would have to say "my balls" get first carry and go for a 1 yard gain.

Then after the first hit, promptly retire from football to go into movies.

Typical response from a superstar....lol

so your thinking LB?

Re: Who gets the first carry of 2007?
 

I think it will be a flee flicker from Terry Allen to Gus ... then a 40 yard TD pass to Leslie Sheppard.

I was thinking the same exact thing.

Re: Who gets the first carry of 2007?
 

Lets line up in the wishbone and run an option play with a toss to CP who then has LB come around back and wait for the pitch from Clinton. That way everyone wins. Of course Sellers will pave the way. Anyone up for a Brunell, Campbell, Ramsey debate?

Only if I can take "D" for none of the above.

Re: Who gets the first carry of 2007?
 

I am not trying to be a dick (it just comes naturally!) but this is a waste of a thread. Barring an injury, Portis is the feature back. No questions asked.

Re: Who gets the first carry of 2007?
 

I think it will be Portis, but I wish it would be Betts. Don't get me wrong. I still want Portis to be the number 1 back, but I think that he could be more effective if Betts got the defense breathing hard first.

I see both of these guys being able to control the third and fourth quarters of games next year.

Re: Who gets the first carry of 2007?
 

Since the good ones are taken already, I'll go with...

The skins go 3-and-out on 3 straight passes, but a fake punt by Derrick Frost racks up the first 1st down of the season!

I hate to say it... but this is probably closer to the truth... we have alot of issues that have not been addressed.

with this said how many carries do you guys think portis will have in preseason? my over under is 10? over or under boys..

Re: Who gets the first carry of 2007?
 

Well, I think this will happen. The Redskins will bring 2 balls on to the field. CP and LB will both be in the backfield. Jason Campbell will hand the ball off to Betts, and Betts will run crazy to the right side dragging the entire defense with him. Then Portis will take the real ball, which he has been hiding behind his back the whole time, and take off down the left side for a touchdown. It's ingenius I tell ya, and the only thing stopping us is that the NFL won't let us have two balls on the field on the same play. So that's where Dan Snyder and his fat wallet comes in.
