He has no ability to read the quarterback and he can't comprehend angles of intercept so you just can't allow him to play deep.

He plays the run very well and he is the fastest safety in the entire league so just keep him as close to the line of scrimmage at all times to protect him from himself. Never allow him to actually think. Ever.

It's really easy to take a bad angle in the open field when you're running in from 25-30 yards off of the LOS and the guy you're targeting and yourself are approaching full speed or already there, especially when there's lateral movement as well. Not to say he played to potential last year, but a large portion of what we saw vs Dallas was due to proximity.

I think those 10-15 yard cushions that were commonplace under Blache contributed to Landry's problems too. The wideout with that cushion is going to be close to full speed when the corner or safety comes up to make a play. Automatically being "in space" results in them being able to put a better juke move on a would be tackler. Just my .02

Carter had 12.5 sacks in 2002, 10.5 in 2007, without AH.

Clinton Portis declines to comment, with help from Albert Haynesworth

Clinton Portis and Albert Haynesworth performed a scripted skit for reporters in the locker room Thursday afternoon in which Portis declined to answer questions and Haynesworth covered the running back's mouth with strips of black athletic tape.

A Redskins media relations official informed reporters that Portis, who, in a prepared statement, apologized for inappropriate comments he made about female reporters earlier this week, was ready for his scheduled weekly media availability.

When reporters approached Portis at his dressing stall, however, he initially did not speak. When a reporter asked Portis about his ill-advised comments during the radio interview, he held up a spiral notebook with "No Comment" written on one of the pages while Haynesworth, standing to Portis's left, tore a piece of tape and applied it to Portis's lips.

When a reporter asked about Sunday's game against the Houston Texans, Portis turned the page and held up the notebook again: "Thanks For Coming." Haynesworth applied another piece of black tape.

As reporters continued in vain to engage Portis, up went the notebook twice more with: "God Bless You" and "Have A Good Day." Haynesworth did his part with more tape, and then the players left the locker room together.

Redskins officials probably would prefer that Portis's lips remained perpetually sealed. He occasionally has inserted his foot into his mouth during interviews -- though not to the extent of his misstep this week -- or has stirred controversy by ripping former head coach Jim Zorn and quarterback Jason Campbell.

But this was Portis's first opportunity to explain himself after making comments that, at the very least, displayed some insensitivity on the subject of female reporters. It does raise questions about how sincere Portis's apology was. Perhaps the Portis-Haynesworth two-man act should go on the road. It didn't play well in Ashburn.

What was there to explain? Clinton just stated his views, which to me, made sense. You don't have male reporters in a WNBA or any other female locker room so you don't have any sexual incidents or people feeling awkward about having total strangers of the opposite sex checking you out, etc. The way that gal usually dressed from all those picks tells me she wanted to provoke a reaction or get some attention. What Portis said is true. You are telling me a young woman, obviously trying to get a guy worked up with provocative clothing, isn't checking them out while they are in the buff or semi in the buff? Do you think all men will have no problem having a strange woman walking around with them in the nude? THe whole things smacks of typical PC double standard stuff. Guys are pigs and girls are frigging angels. This is 2010, not 1950.

If I had a locker room assignment with 53 naked women walking around, I would have to wear sunglasses.
