1) I Don't think he'll practice.
2) He will not take not getting all the carries well
3) I know he won't keep his mouth shut.

1) If he doesn't practice, Shanahan will give him the boot... and i'm sure he knows that better than we do.

2) He should be a little used to splitting carries. the two years before Betts broke 1000 and the one year after, Betts got 90, 89, and 93 carries. Not that it's exactly 50/50 but Portis is not stranger to the concept of sharing carries. At this point in his career, he should be happy to be relevant at all. If he isn't, he better pretend to be, cuz if he gripes about it, Shanahan will give him the boot... and i'm sure he knows that better than we do.

3) If shanahan puts is hit in his @$$ one good time, i think he'll keep his mouth shut. If not Shanahan will give him the boot... and i'm sure he knows that better than we do.

Of course, Portis wants to play for Shanny. There's no guarantee he would play much anywhere else.

I say we sign Pierre Thomas. He would be so good in the zone blocking scheme. He hits the hole hard, and I think he was underutilized in New Orleans.

No. Sign Peyton Hillis(Ideally, McDaniels the dummy cuts him). The dude's a great reciever AND is a good power back. He's also come with a cheaper price tag.

Very interesting guy. However he spun a lot of things in that interview.

[SkinDogg]

He's such a child. He's the kid in class who acted up when a sub (Zorn) came in. When teacher (Shanny) returned or the principal (Allen)walked by, he straightened up. Seems nothing's changed since 4th grade.

I used to be CP fan until he bailed on the team last season. Why move ass now, Clinton?

[Longtimefan]

I have gotten to the point where I no longer listen to anything Portis has to say. What will be telling is what he does, not what he says. He says a lot without really saying anything. I guess you have to be where he's from to understand him.

[DCtoAZ]

It's really a shame how CP has fallen from the Redskins faithfull graces ... I think we can all agree that back in 05-08 he was a true Redskin and busted his ass every second on the field ... Remember that tackle in pre-season against the Bengals because of a shitty INT ? Remember all the bad ass blocks he lays people on his ass day in and day out ... Remember all the yards/touchdowns and 2 playoff app.'s ???? Let's let the chip's fall where they may but if CP can back up his mouth I see big things from him this year ...

1,500 yards
12+ TD's

Lot's to prove and a hungry CP is good to me ..


Don't forget Zorno was a moron and that pissed everyone off not just Clinton

[SirClintonPortis]

I don't think he's going to break Riggo's record.
He'll probably average 4.0 YPC AT BEST and get around 243 carries in a season(frequent trend in Shanahan's offense) and in Shanny's run game, a 4.0 YPC is actually below average.

[celts32]

I won't even listen to the interview...I am done wth him. Washed up Cancer...

[Skins4L]

i think hell be fine and should be successful splitting carries this year in a run first system.

he wont be cut. hell be a Skin this year.

I like it, older CP or not.. he deserves one more.. at least.

Turner says he believes that Portis has plenty left in him

Turner Has Great History With Running Backs

I thought it was going to be Norv Turner, weighing in on a CP for LT trade.


I do believe that if CP has a compliment back and can stay healthy, he will do very well for another year or 2 in Shanahan's offense. As the full-time workhorse, no.

[MTK]

I'm sure plenty will disagree with Turner, but if CP is healthy and motivated I agree he's got something left.

Yeah with a good off-season he can show what he's got left.. a bit of luck in blocking and health could go a long way with him

with a bad one, might as well chalk it up as him being done
