Portis/ Parker Combination?

diehardskin2982 · 03-07-2010, 10:11 PM

Your thoughts on the potiental of us possibly picking up Willie Parker to pair with Clinton Portis in the backfield.

Redskins Insider - Willie Parker will visit Ashburn

I see him as a great pickup becoming a change of pace back. He has the speed and smarts to hurt other teams. I would still hope we draft a third back if we brought him here.

It never hurts to bring in a guy that has speed , and he is < was ? > fast Willie Parker . I also would like to pick a rb in rd 4 or 5 .... hopefully a guy who runs angry !

I dont know if he is the total answer, but if we picked him up, I would certainly want to take a young guy in the draft. Thats assuming that Aldrige didnt fix is fumble addiction.

Let's end the Alridge love affair already.

I'm sorry... but I've been thinking for a while... LaGarrett Blount from Oregon... the guy's stock is down because of the infamous punch... but I LOVE the way the dude runs and we may be able to get a 1st round talent in the 3rd-4th round.

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.

I recall mcshay saying at the time of the punch that Blount was a 2nd rounder. That was early in the season. I don't know how he did in the combine but Blount probably is somewhere in the 2nd to 4th range. I could see him being there in the 4th regardless of the punch.

Anyway, I agree w/you, though I would add he's worth taking in the 4th for us, but no earlier, even if we pick up a 3rd in a trade.

I would hardly call it a "love affair." We have cut a few running backs in the last few weeks and Aldrige remains. I am not saying he is going to be great, I am only pointing out that he is still on the team.
