He needed to sometime approach the player tell them to get it together but I just never saw him do that. I don't mean he sould do that after ever missed ball but once in a while to let the guys know he is running the team and needs them to make those plays.

Are you going to criticize Peyton Manning for that too?

There's no way you can bring up Peyton Manning to compare him against Campbell. He's at least one level above him.

Not comparing abilities, but they do have a similar work ethic. They're both film junkies and study the game. Campbell's had to with all of the offensive coordinators he's had.

There's not always time for anything else. Besides, what are the position coaches for?

Are you just going by what you saw on TV or were you at all the games watching his every move?

Aren't you glad you won't have to hear about Hixon this pre-season! (vice versa if he does stay, it's gotta be some hidden pics :-))

if CP wasnt injured he would have put up close to 1500 yds rushing like he always does.

man, a guy gets injured 1 year and all of the sudden he's a cancer? portis is a top back in this league and the least of our problems.

(j/k but this is the last time i'll say this then i'll drop it . . .anyone who is now calling portis a cancer, not a team player or expendable, please go read your posts this past offseason where anyone posting what you guys are posting now got blasted)

Terrell Owens, Randy Moss and others have been able to put up top numbers and still be a negative to their teams by their attitudes and actions. Numbers are great, but he needs to be putting them up for the team, not his own benefit and legacy.

Rather than cutting CP I would like to see him come back & be truly humbled & be part of the team. I know that's asking for a lot of maturation in a short time, but imagine this scenario:

Betts rehabs his knee & looks surprisingly quick. Shanny says before camp that the starting RB job is an open competition between CP, BEtts, and maybe Ganther & a rookie (don't see Rock in that mix at least as a starter).

Betts or somebody else wins the starting job. CP either becomes the 3rd down back behind Betts or the 3rd string behind Betts & a new starter. He either accepts his role & becomes a valuable contributor picking up blitzes & catching dump offs, or he complains, skips practice, talks about teamates & Shanny Keyshawns him.

Like Matt Mosely said on espn.com, how Shanny deals w/CP will indicate a lot about how much control of the team he has from the danny. If he's not cut from day 1, I expect there to be a serious confrontation between CP & Shanny/mgmt. at some point.

Alridge possibly.

Portis could be a GREAT 3rd down back in either rushing or passing situations where he needs to block. We just need to make sure his feud with Campbell is over so he doesn't "miss" blocks on purpose. Sadly, I could now see him pulling that.

Dorsey had a good camp with the Bengals, I remember pulling for him on Hard Knocks, could be a good #3 type of back. Not sure if he's much else at this point though.

Oh, I confused him for Bernard Scott. I was watching a few episodes of Hard Knocks on YouTube and when I saw a Bengals Running Back wanted in on the Skins I thought it was him.

Maybe Shanny can pull of a Portis trade for Champ Bailey.

Honestly, I'd throw in a #1 pick for 2011 to get that done. (again)

Portis has been spotted in the thread! His identity is Dirtbag359!

4,057 posts? He's had time for that this season.



User title is "Playmaker"? He has a member of upper management for an avatar?


You've been exposed, Clinton.

Oh yeah, well I (Clinton Portis) have exposed you Brian Mitchell. More post then me with a two month difference in time! Always coming after me for this and that. Look Dan Snyder and I aren't even that close, but I'm telling you guys Shannahan is a great coach, I mean it's not like I'm trying to secure a job or anything. Oh and while I'm at it Bruce Allen is the best GM in the league, specially if he keeps me. Of course if either one of them decides to cut me then I must say that move is "genius".

Still B-Mitch I'm getting tired of this, I'm fetching Gilbert Arenas on your sorry ass.

By the way my line sucks, can I please get some blockas!
