It's about winning games in Washington. They've been better at it than us.

I like it for the short term. When Larry is on..he is really on. I think he'll fit in nicely giving Portis less carries and hopefully if we make the playoffs they will both be fresh and healthy. And with Portis he never really seems to play all 16 games anyway. He was a Redskin fan growing up. he really wanted to sign here and respects Shanny, so I think he'll work out just fine.

Yeah, the fact he really wanted to play here matters, being a lifelong Redskin fan may give him extra incentive. Should work well for the short term providing he and Portis can remain healthy. We still could look to get younger in the draft.
