More like performance in the case of LJ and Wille and injury in the case of Portis.

I think this might be the end of Portis as a Skin, especially if the other guys step and contribute.

Here's to hoping that Torain takes the job and never looks back. But if CP is healthy and ready to come back at some point this year, he will be back in the lineup in some type of role.

Here's hoping Torain can....BLOCK!

I doubt he's done as a Redskins but he's no longer our Number 1 RB

I disagree, thus ending Portis as being a Skin after this year. If we fired Vinny sooner, maybe his tenure would have been extended but we ran him into the ground all those years and w/o drafting a compliment or replacement back we stuck with Betts all those years. Come back and finish strong for us CP but Im sure his days here are done. He's just too much money to be injured EVERY year it seems. McNabb/this team aren't getting any younger, we have to moved on and do whats best.

Julius Jones is out there LOL

He's in the final year of his ginourmous contract.

If he is a redskin next year, it means that he has agreed to a lesser contract, and most likely a much lesser role.

Knowing Portis, do you really believe he'd agree to that?

I'd guess he figures that he could still start in the league, and get Starter money. I see a handful of teams wanting him as a backup, but i dont think anybody would want him as a starter...could i be wrong?

CP has already proved your wrong on several counts before SS84, so why not again? Hell you didn't even think he would be on the team this year.

lolololol....you know Solid just cant wait for CP to be gone. I know CP has been a great player for us and actaully like his game. But Im kinda done with his comments and his attitude since Gibbs left was just bad. So if it is over, wish him the best, but im ready to see a new number 1 in the backfield.

Can we just please let SS84 create the thread when its officially over for CP, whether its this year or in a couple?

Like i said before. I made peace with my Portis issue, and decided that i'd let his play on the field this season form my opinion. He seemed like a changed guy. He looked quicker, faster...

Im not going to make a thread when he leaves here. I cant deny his role to this team over the last 7 seasons. He proved me wrong this year. I admit.

But its time for a change. He will find work with another team, maybe even this one, but not as a starter, i dont think.

Clinton Portis out four to six weeks with groin injury
Updated 3:35 p.m.
Washington Redskins running back Clinton Portis will miss four to six weeks with a third-degree separation of his left groin, Coach Mike Shanahan said Wednesday, leaving the bulk of the team's carries - at least temporarily - for second-year back Ryan Torain, who has a history of injuries himself.

Portis suffered the injury in the third quarter of Sunday's 17-12 victory at Philadelphia, a game in which he rushed for 55 yards and Torain added 70, including a touchdown. Shanahan said Portis's injury would not require surgery.

"It's a temporary setback," Shanahan said. "Those things happen during the season. Clinton's tough. He'll get a lot of rehab here. Hopefully, it'll be four weeks rather than six weeks, but a third-degree separation is off the bone.

"off the bone"

Ugh, guess that explains why he heard a pop
