You can't alway's measure a back by his yards, if I needed a back for 1 game I would take Dillion over Portis, Dillion can make yards with very little blocking, and he will run players over without blinking an eye, I am not grading them on just last seasons stats, but what they are capable of when healthy under normal circumstances, besides yards per carry are more important to me than overall yardage.

Yeah but Portis was worn down at the end of the year. Not a lot of backs could have taken the beating he sustained at the end of the year.

dillon hit the wall like S davis this year. he's done. If you'd pick him up for a game over portis now, i think you'd have a much higher chance of losing.

YPC also depends a lot on scheme and line quality. dillon was terrible there as well (rocking a 3.5).

Is there anyone on the Redskins offense that you actually like? You've been outspoken against Brunell, now ripping Portis, what's next, Moss would be better if he had 14 fingers so he wouldn't drop as many passes?

Of coarse but know one wants to acknowledge the praises I have for certain players, they only want to hear about the negativity of some.

Bottom line most of the opposition to my point about Portis just proves that many here want to remain blind to the truth, they continue to look at our team through burgandy and gold glasses, refusing to acknowledge reality, and the reality is he is not a top 5 back period. If anyone thinks that he's better than the 5 guy's I mentioned, then take off the burgandy and gold glasses.

If you want to say he's a top 5 blocker in the backfield? By all means, but we could have gotten a cheap h-back to do that.

Kind of funny but Rock looked better than Portis running the ball when he had a chance, I will put the label of durable on Portis which allows him to compile stats, but he's not a top 5 back.


Here's a list of players I do like.

Ramsey, Cooley, Moss, Jansen, Thomas, Betts, Washington, Clemons, Taylor, Clark, Salavea, Griffen, Rogers, Springs.

I am up in the air about Samuels, Dockery, Rabach, Marshall - [who I do like but think we can upgrade].

Players I defiently don't like, Brunell, Arrington.

The rest serve a purpose for depth, can't get on them.

I still believe we gave up to much for Portis and could have similar results with other backs but his durability has made him palatable, he has transformed himself into a different type of runner since he left Denver, steroids can do wonders.

But he is not better than, Alexander, Johnson, James, Tiki, or Thomalison, and when healthy Mcalaster.

Sorry, but I think your full of it. Show us facts to back up your accusations.

the two things joe gibbs stresses that he loves about clinton portis are his pass-blocking and physicality. gibbs is not wrong, you are.

It's impossible to take you seriously. Your knowledge of the NFL is atrocious.

Kind of funny when you opposed me on david boston and roids a couple of years ago how did that pan out, I was drunk then to wasen't I. Until you have spent the amount of time lifting weights as I have, and understand the body and how it reacts, and the gains that can be expected through weight lifting, you are not quilified to make the diagnoises, anyone who has spent considerable amount of time lifting weights understands that you are not going to put on 15 lbs of muscle in 6 months, ain't happening, you may put on overall body weight and then some, but that will all come off once practices start, and I will guarentee you he will not maintain that weight even if some how he managed to gain that kind of muscle mass in 6 months.

Your body cannot maintain it's weight with the vigors of the NFL season. Players who play and practice every week and finish the season at or bigger than they started, you can take to the bank they are on roids, ESPECIALLY RB'S.

All he's doing though is creating an even playing field, do you really believe at 30 Tiki all of a sudden started running people over, and breaking tackle, after tackle? Come on now. I really am not bashing him for it, whats a player to do when everyone else he runs into is twice the size they should be?

Um, wrong again, Flanders. I swam for U of Richmond 5 years ago during my college days. My coach told me between my Junior and Senior years that he wanted me swimming at 200 instead of 190. My junior season ended in March and by August I had gained the 10 pounds with no change in body fat %. And Portis is a much, much more finely tuned athlete than I ever was, by any stretch of the imagination. I was 21 when I did that, Portis was 23 when he gained his 15. Believe it or not, it's doable, especially for young guys.

It's not so easy to do when you have a full time job. But if you have 20 hours a week during the school year like a college student, or an NFL offseason where working out is your job, it's very doable.

I don't recall our discussions of Boston but I do remember not being at all surprised that he was juicing, the guy's arms were the size of tree trunks.

I guess you're also assuming I don't lift weights, but that's really not the issue.

Players lift weights during the season you know. Portis didn't get any bigger as the season went on as you seem to be indicating. He didn't even look that much bigger in '05 compared to '04, it's not like he gained 50 pounds and was trucking people each week.

15 pounds of muscle in 6 months isn't really that hard if you're a professional athlete and you have the benefit of working with personal trainers, nutritionists, etc.
