Isn't it a little early or a little late to be bringing in a "Camp Body"?

Levi Jones was unemployed for a reason, he's just a name.

I agree, Heyer is pathetic.

If the Packers and Lions both past on him, that is a red flag. I just dont know anymore...I cant trust any move by the FO as long as Vinny is running things.

True dat. If the Packers are passing on anyone right now, that's a huge red flag.

Thats because our O-Line is worst than Packers and the Lions. Its not about trust at this point we are desperate right now to get som O-line help so JC wont get killed.

Not sure about the Lions. But for what it's worth, apparently the Packers offered him a contract to play RT, and Jones said no. So it seems they didn't pass on him.

Vinny aka "Bobby the Brain Heenan" cut 2 RB's knowing Portis is not 100%.

Portis misses practice with lower-leg problems

Running back Clinton Portis sat out practice today because of leg problems.

"It's really one leg," he said. "It's just my right leg. I've got plantar faciitis, an ankle, the inside of my MCL, and a calf all on my right leg. So if I can get a new lower leg, I'll be fine."

In the 14-6 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs, Portis rushed for a season-high 109 yards on 15 carries (a 7.3-yard average). He gained 78 yards on one rush in the third quarter - the longest gain of his career.

Portis acknowledged he has not had much interaction with new play-caller Sherman Lewis, who came out of retirement about two weeks ago to serve as an offensive consultant. Owner Daniel Snyder promoted Lewis, 67, to call plays after stripping Jim Zorn of the responsibility following the team's latest dreary loss to a formerly winless team, which has occurred four times this season.

Lewis is unfamiliar with the team's personnel and knows little about Washington's running game, but Portis expects the running game to work well.

"It ain't hard, I mean, you either run gut, counter, stretch, toss, dive, or draw," Portis said. "You can call it however you want to call it, but them are the only runs in football. For him to be an offensive coordinator for as long as he has, I'm sure he knows that as well. Maybe it's the formations. I don't know why he would say that, but I don't think it's too hard to call the running game."

Ah HA HA HA, I had forgotten that name. I haven't heard someone reference him since 1989.

Well 3 of the guys who started for us last week probably haven't even earned "just a name" status.
