The Portis Effect

[MightyJoeGibbs]

I think anytime a team loses its face of the offense it is a un/conscious set back. This is a running team. We dont have much of an identity in passing. Sure Moss, cooley last year i know but most of that seemed to be YAC. Brunell set his career high last season in TD's and Moss set a club record in recieving yds. This is Mark's last year before he retires and he hasnt thrown more TD's till this past season. Thats embarrassing if you ask me. The team knows it. I think what is scary is nobody stepped up in those games to say I will carry us.

I dont know something isnt right. Doubt underlined how we played. I swear I hope its just a preseason thing and vanilla this/that. We have weapons that better not get dusty. Soon but not soon enough the season will start, it will be on, Skins will rebound this preseason effort and make me seem like an idiot for being upset. But I will be reall pissed off if we bring ak's , uzi's and grenades to battle and all we do is slap fight. First play of the season I want a bomb downfield maybe not at Smoot but please take risks. Make this offense explosive. Please pass 8 times in a row if we want. For all the money invested and talent out there people ought to be open everywhere.

Sure, the man is old. Im sure he was going to come back this year anyway but with all the new recievers and talent and Super Bowl calibur team emerging he came back to us for hope of one more shot at a ring but I dont see him hanging on for anything beyond. It was good business for both. We didnt restructure his contract this year so he is getting a hefty check once again but this will be Jason's team and for this year of paving the way for him it really is Mark's sendoff afterwards. I would like the possibility of telling Mark he can stay next year if he takes less money, and serves as a 2nd string role. Both Mark/Todd are old Im worried that we will be empty handed with only 1 QB so we will have to ask Daddy Snyder for some big cash down the road to get some quality backups for Jason probably in 2 years cuz Todd lets be honest sucks donkey's ____.
