LT makes me sad because he's so out of touch with what his role should be now in the NFL. Maybe if he signs with the Vikings it'll show that he's come to grips with the fact that he's no longer the dominant player he once was but that remains to be seen. All I keep hearing about is how LT wants to be a #1 back.

We're men we never think where past our prime.

Was that an "is" or a "was"? BTW, Betts was always the better pass catcher on the team.

Thing is about LT, is that there's no hope for him now. 3.3 avg on a team with an excellent passing attack. Not good. If we need a motivator, he should be hired as a coach and not waste a roster spot.

If he helps us more than he hurts us we should be fine with it

people still support portis and he bitched here in DC.. same with 'Los

I don't care if you bitch about another team as long as you show up and do work here, there are legitimate gripes out there and there some some whiny asses too

like anyone else I wonder why he was the guy, but like everyone else here, I'm not the coach so I'll have to play the wait and see approach

the idea that we always have to have the best guy available should've worn thin on you guys a long time ago

Big IF!

And IF his fists stay away from any woman.


Right now the move seems very questionable.

hooray for the FO. Another diva, declining, problem child RB with off the field issues. But hey, he was a redskin fan, so all will be fine.

We already had a back that couldnt run outside the tackles anymore. We didnt need one more. I might have to change my sig. Thats what bothers me.

If we had some good receivers prior to the 2008 draft, we may have been able to take Felix Jones.

Portis would have cried though.

This is the first signing I'm really not OK with... and about 99% of my feelings are about how he is off the field...

Anyone who has been arrested for hitting women before shouldn't even be in the league and quite honestly, I'm embarrassed that I'll end up cheering for that guy next season. I really hope London Fletcher knocks this piece of trash through a wall during training camp. I'll deal with Clinton Portis' pre-madona BS all day long... but when it comes to off the field incidnets like this, it really strikes a nerve with me.

Yeah I hear you. I mean we of course don't know who else is doing what off the field that we just don't hear about. So for all we know we're already cheering for these type of people.

Anyhow, as we've talked about before Shanahan is well known for making at least a couple of "I can't believe he just did that moves" seemingly every year. Whether it's Maurice Clarett...or Larry Johnson

Oh absolutely...but if I don't know about it.. it doesn't take the fun out of it. Kinda of what I don't know, wont hurt me type of thing... Its really the thing with women that bothers me, so that type of "offense" I just look at differently than other things.

If TO can continue landing contracts there can't be an exception anywhere anymore for anyone.

He's not afraid to roll the dice that's for sure.

I believe that people deserve second chances. If he doesn't work out cut him.

Agreed. He probably won't even be the starter.
