Portis and Zorn meet

Also, I doubt Portis would have been on the practice field today if he'd finished the game in Bmore.

This is a tempest in a teapot.

Portis isn't as valuable as advertised. Portis has no explosiveness, no break away speed, and the worst balance of any NFL running back I have ever seen. Running backs are a dime a dozen...its all about line play. Portis has great numbers, I won't dispute that, but he is way overrated and buys into his own hype then thinks he gets to play by a different set of rules. Guys like him are a cancer to a team.

Other injuries of note: Shawn Springs, Chris Horton, Kedric Golston, Cornelius Griffin, Marcus Washington, and London Fletcher all did not practice (although Golston did get a little bit of stretching in, I think). And Carlos Rogers was out with a stomach flu. So the number of players practicing was a little on the light side.

This is from the Redskins message blog.....I guess quite a few players will be riding the bench this week cause they are not practicing.....right coach? gotta treat each player equally and fairly. Oh and also call the player out on tv. Say something like Fletcher was benched cause he has not practiced for two weeks. and something about execution. that always sounds good.

I'm not too sure about this one

I like Portis... He's having his best year in a long time. I don't mind that he doesn't practice as long as he performs in the game. My former teammate Gary Clark missed alot of practice time because of his hamstrings but always gutted it out on Sunday and had more good games than bad... Let's give him the benefit of the doubt and hope that he plays great over the last three games... As long as the players respect him he will not be a cancer to the team but if any of the key players ever go against him then you are right... It could hurt the team...

Zorn said Portis didn't run the right routes and stayed in to block when he needed to be out as a safety valve. Plus, Ladell played well. Whatever. This is getting silly.

Greatest pass ever was Reagan to Sanders on the White House Lawn. That was awesome!

If it's really you, welcome # 83. My favorite memory of you was SB XXII, I was in the AF stationed in Japan and really hearing it from a room full of Bronco / anti-Redskins fans. You caught the 80-yd bomb from DW and the rest was history....as were the room full of jokers giving me crap. Thanks for all the hard work, great plays and memories.

If it's NOT really you, it was a great memory anyway...LOL

Maybe CP is the reason we're losing, too. Zorn should have benched him, wih Snyder's blessing!
