Agreed.

skinsfan_nn · 10-05-2008, 05:57 PM

Gotta give this one to CP. He ran lights out....thanks to the help from the O-Line.

Lady Brave · 10-05-2008, 06:07 PM

This one belongs to Portis.

pscott32 · 10-05-2008, 06:10 PM

Portis was the man today but Suisham really kept them in the game early.

Daseal · 10-05-2008, 06:11 PM

Portis. He carried the load today. Andre Carter is my runner up. He made a lot of big plays on the defensive side today.

Carter kind of sealed the deal on the that 3rd down play in the 4th quarter. But #26 got my vote!!!

Portis. 145 and a TD, plus that great catch when he was lined up in the slot (which moved the chains) and he even called the 4th and 1 play that ended the game.

RBs calling plays? Just another wild Sunday - Peter King - SI.com

"Clinton called that fourth-down play,'' Zorn said.
Clinton Portis what?
Fourth-and-one, Eagles' 38, 2:48 left, Washington up 23-17, Philly out of timeouts. Tricky call here. If Washington gets stopped, the Eagles take over with about 2:40 left and 62 yards to travel for the winning score. If Washington makes it on a running play and stays inbounds and plays its time-strategy cards right, the 'Skins should be able to run out the clock by kneeling three times and going home with a dramatic win.
Zorn had his thinking cap on, with Jason Campbell and Portis and a couple of the coaches on the sidelines. "I called the formation first,'' he said, "and then he called the play. He thought we should run a draw. I didn't say anything, and I looked at my plan. It was going to be very hard to run. But I thought about the play, and it was a good call. And he's a veteran. If a rookie had said anything, I'd have told him to shut up. But the call made sense. We ran it. He had to really hammer it out.''
The draw's a great call there, with the expectation that a strong back would either wham into the line, or the quarterback would throw a sure thing to either the back or tight end. The momentary element of surprise may have given Portis the sliver he needed to plow for three yards. Ballgame.
Portis was a monster in this game -- 29 carries, 145 yards -- against a D that had allowed 54 yards rushing per game in the first month of the season. Imagine how he felt, authoring the last meaningful play of the game. Imagine the respect he felt from his coach. Imagine the ownership he feels in his team this morning, knowing the new coach, an offensive maven, thought enough of his brain and gut feeling that he could get the yard he needed to give him the authority to make the call on a play that would go a long way toward winning or losing this game.

portis-no brainer

dmek25 · 10-05-2008, 06:34 PM

o line. when you run for 200 yards in an nfl game, those dirt bags were straight ballin

MTK · 10-05-2008, 06:37 PM

The Hogs up front take it for me. 200+ yard rushing against this D is something to be proud of.

FRPLG · 10-05-2008, 07:15 PM

I'd say Portis on offense and Fletch on D.

I\This was a proto team game though.

CRedskinsRule · 10-05-2008, 07:17 PM

I've been giving it to JC or Zorn week after week. But today it has got to go to CP. The 4th and 2 that he just pushed through. That was classic

CRedskinsRule · 10-05-2008, 07:18 PM

Cheers to the D' though, cuz when they tighten ship, opponents can do nothing

Jamaican'Skin · 10-05-2008, 07:24 PM

I was an Olineman in high school, so I know when a back has a great day, its because those big boys up front were moving people. So I should be biased and give the game ball to the O line, but I think Im going to give it to Portis
