Portis/ Parker Combination?

DCtoAZ · 03-08-2010, 12:24 AM

Fast Willie Parker is not a bad pick up if we can get him for cheap .. i like the sounds of WP, Blount, and CP .. that's a 3 headed monster IMO .. HTTR .. can't wait for the DRAFT in primetime ...

Wouldnt be a bad pickup if we can get Willie Parker cheap but im willing to bet the entire redskins franchise both Parker AND Portis dont make it through the whole season uninjured. I hope we pick up Montario Hardesty in the draft. A near Portis clone except better work ethic and much younger. Think Clinton Portis's two 1500 yard seasons under the broncos. Hardesty spent college in a zone blocking scheme. 1 cut back. Portis, Parker, n Hardesty def a three headed monster.

Would be better off picking up Thomas Jones.

How is Jones any better than Portis? Because he doesn't say dumb things? I would be in favor of Jones if it part of a culture change but I am not buying that he is an upgrade on the field.

I think he was a whole lot better than CP last year. CP looked terrible at times, stumbling on his blockers, losing his balance in the open field.

It was almost comical at times. But it was painful too.

The Jets have an incredible line. We have....well, you know.

agree, that is if they're signing a vet to a reasonable contract. I wouldn't mind if they don't sign any fa rb.

I like the idea of bringing in a second back for when Portis starts sucking and/or gets hurt....I'm just not sure of Willie being the one. I feel good about Thomas Jones, but it would never happen...

I think a Portis/Parker platoon could be very interesting, assuming they are both healthy of course.

Exactly and having both of them will likely keep them both healthier and more likely to complete the season than either of them being a workhorse.

Especially if we add a dash of Montario Hardesty to the mix.

He's already been released.. The only RB on the roster right now are Portis and Alridge

2 injury prone RBs, that's a great idea.
