in years past, the only leverage portis really had over the team was his relationship with the owner and his contract. given that the owner is, by all appearances, a non-factor when it comes to football decisions, its an uncapped year, and shanahan's already gotten rid of Portis once, i'd say he's on about as thin of ice as there is. if portis becomes a problem, i'd be shocked if he wasnt kicked to the curb.

shanahan doesnt seem like the kind of guy who takes crap from anyone. given that all the teams "leaders" were present at redskins park yesterday, it seems like the team knows it, too.

Dick Vermeil says that Larry Johnson will push CP out of a job

Vermeil: Johnson Will 'Take Over' Redskins' RB Spot -- NFL FanHouse

Quote:

...

"He will take over the running back position," Vermeil told The Washington Post's Rick Maese. "That's what I think. He'll push that guy [Portis] right out of a job. Larry Johnson will work all week -- he'll work Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday -- and he'll make you start him on Sundays."

Apparently, Clinton Portis has shown up in great shape. So that's a good sign

That's to bad...I was hoping he wouldn't so we could cut him.

Doesn't matter...I believe that Shanny will put a good running game together whether CP is here or not. I am done with him...he stabbed 1 to many teammates in the back and skipped way to many practices. I am looking for a clean start and CP is the poster child for everything we have done wrong in the last decade. In fact...part of me is even a little annoyed that he may be here to reap the benefits of the new running game that Shanny will put together.

That's my personal feelings...but I also have total faith in Allen & Shanny so I will put up with CP if they want to keep him which it appears they do.

Patience grasshopper...

Good. I still think he can be great for us, he and LJ will push each other and the team will benefit from both of them.

So RB could be solid...onto getting blocking for them.

tryfuhl · 03-16-2010, 04:13 PM

people are referring to the tandem as "porta john" haha
