In the end ST has to be the guy to make the call. Doesn't have much to do with leadership if you ask me.

He can ask ST til he's blue in the face to call Gibbs, if ST says nah, I'm not going to call him does that make CP a poor leader??

I don't see much of a connection there between leadership and getting a guy to make a phone call.

This situation is all about Taylor, not Portis.

True, it is all about Taylor. But a true leader is able to convince people that his way is the right way, or at least demands enough respect for someone who disagrees to at least give it a shot. Look at Gibbs. Of course there are alway some people that you just can't get through to without taking extreme measures....and unfortunately it appears that Sean is one of those people.

As much as he and everyone else talks about character, Gibbs has had guys like this before. Look at Riggins, Manley, I'm sure there were a couple more....they had their own issues and were a pain in the ass to deal with, but they had the talent and ability on the field to make it worthwhile. I'm not saying I agree with it, but as long as the guy shows up to mandatory camp in shape and continues to perform and improve in games, I could care less what he does the remainder of the time.

Clinton Portis made his 1st and only mistake since joining the Redskins by even bothering to mention Sean Taylors name in an interview. Now it seems that the fans are going so far as to question the guys leadership qualities because he has`nt hog tied S.T. and dragged him to Washington for practice. They are both grown men... But only one is a professional. End of story.

Wanna point fingers in the Sean Taylor situation point to Sean Taylor and Drew Rosenhaus. Dont call out the guys that are doing everything right! Nobody got after Randy Thomas for " defending " Santana Moss. I mean if Santana doesnt return Gibbs next call are we gonna have a bash Randy party on the boards?

Seems to me like maybe the Tony Kornheiser article in the post had a little bit to much influence on most of you guy`s. I mean the whole Miami thing is getting overblown... Did T.O. go to miami? How bout that other Moss? or Jamal Lewis? Seems to me like the problems the Miami guys present their current teams are common among all players these days. And it boils down to one thing... M-O-N-E-Y!
