Ohalete refuses to give #26 to Portis

Defensewins · 03-27-2004, 02:10 PM

I could swear I saw Portis with the #26 Redskins jersey during the press conference that introduced him. I guess they had not asked Ohalete first.
I like Ohalete, but he needs a dose of reality. Portis is a 2 x 1,500 yard RB, one of the league leaders in TD's and a probowl player.
Ohalete is a good special teams player and a serviceable yet average Safety.
We need to draft Sean Taylor, so Ohalete realizes the pecking order.
Ohalete should give the #26 to Portis.

Give it up, iffy! Portis is the real deal. If he wants 26, give it to him.

And so what happens if we draft #26 ... Sean Taylor??

We gonna have a 3-man Royal Rumble for the number??

Ohelete had it first... Portis wants it... and I'm sure Taylor is fond of it too.... pretty interesting situation brewing. I wonder if coaches or management will get involved?

Not sure, but I think there are league rules about such situations.

I personally think it's Iffys number. Portis is great, but he's also is coming to a new team. If LaVar was #26 who would be willing to give it to Portis? I mean, as someone said ahead, if someone took your piece of equipment in the work place it would piss you off.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but weren't Taylor and Portis together at Miami for 1 year? Or am I a year off?

I bet Iffy would give it up for ten grand. I know I would.

I'm pretty sure u r right about that and they were both at miami for one year when they beat Nebraska for the national title. Atleast I think that was the year they were teammates.

Well, you've already made a MaddenSkins with Portis as #26 so that should be the deciding factor

SmootSmack · 03-27-2004, 10:34 PM

What did Hasselbeck get in exchange for giving up #8 to Brunell?

A roster spot?

Daseal · 03-27-2004, 10:37 PM

Hey... you'll notice... I have a Sean Taylor #26 Maddenskin too... Oh well, I'll just remake 'em when we get this all straightened out...

I do need to get back crankin on my Maddenskins.... I have a SWEET new Coles one where he is jumping over Champ Bailey, making a catch on a long pass... I'll try and put that up today...

I'm gonna disagree. I think if he wants to keep the number, its his to have, he was here first. I really dont want to Piss off Portis, so I dont really care or have a dire need to press the issue. I just think since he was here first, its his #. Think of it this way, if your in High School and your a Senior on the Varsity team, and yer nothing special, and this all- world kid comes up form the JV Squad who just happens to have your number and wants it, would you give it to him?

offiss · 03-27-2004, 02:45 PM

Iffy should give it up if portis want's it but I think portis should compensate him for doing so, portis right now is on track to a hall of fame carreer and i could see the reasoning behind wanting to keep the same number, Iffy on the other hand is going to be fighting just to stay on the field, either way it's only a number it doesn't make the man.

Jamaican'Skin · 03-27-2004, 03:01 PM

Iffy might not even be on the field if we get Mr. Taylor
