Last season, even before he was injured, he was not running like a starting back. He wasnt running like a backup running back.

I mean I hear ya, and at times have felt the same way, but sometimes i feel like he was changed from the back he was in Denver to fit the Washington system. I feel like we never got the real Clinton Portis. Ultimately, I think that's what's doing him in in terms of his lost burst, his injuries (b/c his body isnt made to take thos type of hit), and his overall dropoff in production. Through a very reliable source, I've heard that he's supposed to go through this training regimen this offseason that involves him being cutoff from everyone but the training staff. If he is around next year and if he sticks to this refocused regimen, I'd be interested to see how the revamped CP does in Shanny's system.
