Re: Is anyone else just absolutely disgusted with DM5's play?
Looking back in hindsight, alot of the problem with the running game was the belief that Portis could be the sole weapon, and as a result, the skins never bothered with getting another competent back, in the event that something happened to CP. The closest we came was Ladell Betts in 2006, who was more than adequate in his role as starting RB. Despite that fact, no moves were made at RB and since 2007, Portis either went down with injury, or became innefective as the season wore on.
I figured that after 2008, when the wheels had clearly came of Portis even though he had a good season up until halfway, the team would draft his successor, but i understand it was Jim Zorn and he was basically helpless, but still, all the signs were there that Portis was going to go down. It's not CP's fault, he was just worn out and has never been the same player since about 2008. They need to move on. Keep CP on the team if he wants a 3rd down role or something, but we need fresh, young legs. RB is not an old man's game, and this is something the redskins have had a hard time understanding.
