some of you guys are no better than your teams owner.....you are completely blinded by the fact that your team is struggling this year.....clinton portis is easily your best player.....easily a top 5 running back in the league on a bottom 5 team in the league......you guys make me laugh

Im sorry you haven't had a TV and have been unable to watch NFL football for the past 2 years...that must suck.

Top 5 back? uhhh not even close.

AP, Jones-Drew, Chris Johnson, Cedric Benson, Ronnie Brown, Ricky Williams, Frank Gore, Westbrook, Stephen Jackson.....ALL out class CP.

sorry.....i forgot that clinton portis was an all pro and made the pro bowl last season and had the 4th most rushing yards in the league

its a shame that you guys bash your own player this bad considering he is easily the best player on your team

he doesnt practice all week because he doesnt have to.....practicing gets you reps......obviously his numbers show he doesnt have to get reps during practice to be successful

you guys are looking at a 1 game sample size to judge whether betts is the better running back.....truth is that portis is paid like a #1 because he is a #1 and doesnt have help from anyone else on the team

betts has had 1 1000 yard season and that was when portis got hurt in 2006

portis consistantly goes over 1400 yards on the season.....it looks like he wont go over that this year but your team also wont go anywhere this year.....when portis carries the team you guys do well.......when you get cocky and think its more about the team than him, you guys go 3-6

CantonLegend you can choose to follow the same path even though you know that path gets you no where! Or you can go a different route and work harder to try and get where you want to go!!!

Betts is not an all pro all of a sudden...He will do in this offense as we need to stop relying on one player and everyone must contribute!!!

Seriously, have you watched one Redskins game this year?

As far as practice goes..... I'll just agree with what BMitch said in regards to practice.

Its funny how fans like this from another team which finally is playing great football think now they can come tell us what we are doing wrong. Oh, by the way Saints will fall apart again this year so ride that train while you can.

like ive said before

ive been here since april......i was invited by an intelligent, well informed poster from this forum but it appears he has left....can you blame him?

you guys are in a position that my team has been in for their entire history....but you guys are new to it so you jump the gun, blame players, coaches and front office officials for how poorly the team is playing

you call for the coaches head, the running backs job.......you want to draft a QB in the first round when just last season you were bumming because you thought for sure that they would draft a QB in the first round

you know the last time you guys drafted an offensive lineman in the first round? 2000......since then you guys havent spent any higher than a 3rd round pick on a lineman

you guys have a good defense because the 4 of the last 5 first round picks have been defensive players not to mention the free agents you guys bring in......but almost no attention has been paid to the offensive line
