Re: LT for Portis?

Well we've got a lot of players on our roster we could part with, but I'd be hesitant to use any picks to grab cromartie, even 3rd 4th and 5th rounders. I'm not sure if SD would go for it if there were no picks involved tho. He seems okay, but not worth giving up anything major for

Wow, and all the children are under 6. Geez, he partied a little too frequently in college or something. That is crazy.

Re: LT for Portis?

in that seattle playoff loss i think we started to go down hill when we recovered that kickoff that seattle never touched, then cooley dropped a pass at the goal line which he would catch 95 out of 100 times, then shazaam missed a 30 something field goal.

after that, collins tried to make plays instead of not making mistakes and taking what the D gave him.

Where Does Portis Stand with Skins?


By Matt Mosley

INDIANAPOLIS -- A lot of folks are focused on the Washingon Redskins' quarterback situation, but there's also some intrigue at running back. On Friday, coach Mike Shanahan did not want to discuss Clinton Portis' future with the club but he's made it clear that he needs to see a committment from all his players in the offseason program. As some of you know, Portis' offseason "workouts" have often taken place in South Florida.

"Let's not talk about Clinton," Shanahan said when asked about Portis' offseason plans. "Let's talk about everybody on the Washington Redskins. Let's not focus on one guy. I want everybody to be as good a football player as they can be. I want all the guys on our football team to make a commitment in the offseason to work, and work extremely hard. That's how we're gonna get better as a team ... It's very important to show your teammates exactly how hard you work and how dedicated you are to the program."

After Shanahan left the podium Friday, I asked him about any potential interest in former Chargers running back LaDainian Tomlinson. Shanahan didn't say anything definitive, but he indicated that he and Tomlinson are close friends who stay in contact. I wouldn't be shocked to see Tomlinson end up on the Redskins' roster.

Mike from Richmond, Va., has a question about the Skins' RBs situation: So I hear Thomas Jones is going to be released. Do you think this is someone the Redskins would be interested in? Everyone is saying how much Shanny likes LT. I would think Jones would still have more in the tank. Thoughts?

Mosley: Everyone who's saying that Mike Shanahan loves LaDainian Tomlinson is exactly right, Mike. I think the coach has immense respect for Tomlinson after being battered by the running back in the AFC West. As AFC West blogger Bill Williamson told me this past week, Shanahan always covets players who have stuck it to him in the past. That said, I think you're correct to say that Jones has more left in the tank. He's arrived at that magic age where his skills begin to decline, but he could still be effective as a complementary back. Would he be happy splitting carries with Clinton Portis in Washington? Well, he may not have a choice. Honestly, I think Chester Taylor might be a better fit than Jones in Washington.

Re: LT for Portis?

LT is smart though and will either go to Indy, Minnesota, New Orleans, or [hopefully not] New England, I think he wants to win more than get paid at this point.
