Re: Portis Says This Year Could Be Last With Skins.
Portis isn't going anywhere folks. We're getting our money's worth and we will continue to get our money's worth. I expect 1300+ yards from him this year.

Re: Portis Says This Year Could Be Last With Skins.
I get the feeling that Portis just doesn't want to be a Redskin anymore.

Re: Portis Says This Year Could Be Last With Skins.
If I'm picking a team our by position, let's say like a fantasy draft in Madden... the last position I'm going to pick is running back.
Jsarno is right on when pointing out great offensive lines are what's extremely important. This doesn't mean that there aren't great running backs out there that can singlehandedly take over a game. These guys are rare, and worthy of a lot. I firmly believe CP is one of these rare gems in the NFL. He can block, he can run, catch, pass, the works. Do I feel we got shafted in the Denver deal? Not really. We got a running back that broke a franchise record... and who is capable of taking over games. I think Denver got the better end of the deal, but we by no means got "screwed over".

Re: Portis Says This Year Could Be Last With Skins.
Do you guys really think that Champ Bailey was going to stay in Washington? He had one year left on his contract and with the revolving door at the defensive coaching position... he wasn't staying in town.
Just wait.... Portis will have his biggest year as a rusher in the NFL this year. This offense is going to click! The defense will take a lot of pressure off the offense and vice versa. This team has got to come together this year.... and yes, Portis know with the money that he is making, he has got to perform. I think he is pumping himself enough. and.... I'm spent. [/B][/B] |

Re: Portis Says This Year Could Be Last With Skins.
Most people don't think he is going to last to the midway point of the season, so he probably is right that this might be his last year as a Skin. To me it won't matter that much. There are a ton of good FA RB's available every year. You know Snyder will throw around big $$$$$$$ to get the best he can. I like CP and would hate to see him go, but I liked Terry Allen and he had to go, loved Stephen Davis and he left, so if he does go it will suck, but we always find a decent replacement. Just hope it doesn't cost us a lot of $$$$$$$$$ AND a high draft pick.

Re: Portis Says This Year Could Be Last With Skins.
I think Portis is saying this so no one will view him as the threat that they have in the past. defenses let their guard down and boom Portis is running through them like the final 5 weeks of the 2005 season.

Re: Portis Says This Year Could Be Last With Skins.
I do not see what everyone is getting so damn worked up about. He made a simple comment that he needed to perform this year. Every athlete should feel that way every year. Some people took this thread and his comment to the extreme and ran with it. Slow down. He has been productive ever since he has been here. Even last year he was second or third in scoring behind LT before being placed on IR. Being 26 years old, he has alot of football left in him. Even if the injury bug creeps up on him again so what! Its not like the guy is exactly injury prone. If you want to talk about injury prone look no further than Shawn Springs, who hasn't been completely healthy the past 2 seasons. Did we get rid of him? NO! We brought in some help for insurrance. Like CP, Springs carries a hefty contract and big play potential. Plus he is quite a few years older. Stop trying to throw CP to the wolves just because he made a comment about his future here if he doesn't perform. The comment did not come from coaches or any other officials. It was a comment by CP which reveals what he is thinking right now. Obviously he is worried and has a chip on his shoulder. He feels that he needs to prove himself again. That's all. Stop your flippin crying.

Re: Portis Says This Year Could Be Last With Skins.
I was pretty upset with this trade from jump street. Any back is great in Denver...I thought he was too slight for the ground and pound...and Champ Bailey and a PICK!...I was scratching my head, but keeping the faith. Now I remember why I was pissed. I was hoping they'd get LaMont Jordan who was being shopped by the Jets at that time. Big fast and mean and would have loved to been behind this line as opposed to the Raidassss.
PEACE |
