Ocho Cinco In B&G

[SmootSmack]

The team to pay attention to is the Dolphins.

They're interviewing Hue Jackson to be their OC and he has a relationship with CJ from their days together in Cincy. Plus, Parcells wants/needs to win sooner than later. Add to that the fact that they're openly shopping their #1 pick. CJ could go back home to Miami. It all adds up.

I think you're on to something here

Wow he's # 1 pick material? Not in my mind.

Well I wouldn't make it a straight up one for one trade, but it could be part of a bigger deal

Oh that makes sense. He's really good but I think sometimes WR are not that vital compared to line, QB, RB.

Does anyone think that Portis is in danger with the team now that Gibbs is gone? His salary very high and his style may not fit what new coaching staff is doing as well. What are some great West Coast RB's?

I personally think he stays but any thoughts?

I don't see Portis going anywhere, I honestly think that he is a Redskin 4-LIFE!!

Great West Coast RBs?

How about...Clinton Portis. He did a pretty damn good job with that system in Denver

He seemed lighter and faster on Denver. More of a pounder now.

I love this, when Portis comes to play for the Redskins, just about everyone is yelling, "SYSTEM BACK!!!!!" Now he is back in the system that got him that label and now he wont do good!!!! I am in no way call you out Qball, but I knew it was bound to happen... Either way Portis, IMO, is an ultimate back, he proved him self in the West Coast Offense then came here to Washington and proved himself as a pounder. Not only that he can block and catch. One of the last do-it-all backs in the league. I think that he will transition into the WCO with no problem. And he may even go back to putting up those dubble digit TD's and 1,500 plus yards...

There is a very persistent story out there that Johnson and Hue Jackson got into fisticuffs in the locker room at halftime of the Bengals' playoff loss to the Steelers (the game where Carson Plamer had to be carried off in the 1st quarter) because Johnson didn't think his number was being called enough. There is also a persistent story that when Marvin Lewis brok up the altercation, Lewis caught a punch - - that was "an accident".


Even if that story is "embellished a bit", I think it would give one reason to suspect that ocho cinquo might not be named "teammate of the decade".

I thought it was TJ and Hue? You could be right though.

Somewhat off-topic, I think the Bengals made a mistake in not firing Marvin Lewis. He seems to have lost that team and I just don't think he's the right fit for them.

That was what I was referring to in my earlier post (#45) in this thread. I didn't know it came to blows though.

Consider that this was during Cincy's best season w/him as I recall. They were an up & coming team but seemed to regress since then.

I'd say if we overpay on one of these two guys at least it is one of these two guys. Both can still play and are among the top 5 in the league at their positions when healthy. It is better than chasing an over the hill mega star looking for one more big pay day.

My major concern would be what happens when they don't get the ball? JC is not a top QB in the league. Would CJ be happy w/ 70 catches? I don't think so. Would he become a problem if we don't win? Maybe.

I like CJ as a reciever, he's a hard worker, but I get a little tired of his antics. I'm an old school guy and i'd rather see a Art Monk guy, an LT guy, not a CJ overthetop endzone celebration.

With that being said 1400 yards and 15 TD's would go a long way. It's just a risky move. If we get a Randy Moss trade (4th rounder) for CJ it would be tough to pass up though.

You are right when you said that JC is not a top QB in the league but dont you think that it may help him develop if he gets a top notch WR?
