Redskins Sign Larry Johnson

Ignoring the ancillary conversation on LJ the scumbag, as I stated prior, I like the football move here.

One thing no one seems to be focused on is that Portis seemed to lose his burst to the hole sometime in 2008/9. I am not so interested in how hard he practices or where he does his off-season workouts (assuming he knows his assignments). CP gives 110% on the field during every play, always has.

What I am concerned with is that the guy has just lost the physical ability to break through the hole. You can't practice or work your way out of that...sometimes the body just starts to fade, especially with RBs. I think CP is done and will be out of the league by 2011, motivated or not.
