re: Willie Parker a Skin
Maybe Portis will be traded? That's a loaded backfield.
Source: Running back Willie Parker Parker, Washington Redskins reach 1-year deal - ESPN Willie Parker, Larry Johnson and Clinton Portis now will have an open competition for the Redskins starting RB job - best back wins.

Re: Willie Parker a Skin
That's called a Shanahan offense.
![]() Seriously, we could run plays with 3 of them in the backfield at the same time, or even in an even 3-way share...they could all do VERY well. In the 4th quarter, we'll have 3 highly-talented, FRESH running backs. As long as all 3 stay motivated and with the plan, all will go well. As badly as Parker wanted out of Pittsburgh, I don't think he'll be a problem. LJ may have matured and will value another chance. CP...he could be the problem but if he believes in Shanahan and understands this will extend his career and possibly get him a ring...he could behave.

Re: Willie Parker a Skin
Ha, typo...I meant to type "with 2 of them".
I guess I got a little excited about the thought. Definitely no Wishbone in the NFL...right?

re: Willie Parker a Skin
Let the competition begin! No one is just going to show up and be handed the job. Shanahan really does like competition. I like it.

Re: Willie Parker a Skin
I'll be interested to see what we do about RB in the draft...and who survives training camp.

Re: Willie Parker a Skin
Mid to low round pick in the draft, this helps address LB needs.

Re: Willie Parker a Skin
The backfield is taking shape with short term solutions, I'm sure there has to be a longer range plan in mind. One year contract in a crowded backfield dosen't leave room to expect a lot by way of the future.
Oh! I forgot, the future is now. |

Re: Willie Parker a Skin
I was thinking we should trade the second pick for Gaither or pick Jahvid Best. After Spiller this year's draft lacks running back talent IMO. This will keep us stable for another year and we could in a perfect scenario draft a guy like Ingram. This should be good for Portis if he stays with the team as he will have plenty of motivation.

re: Willie Parker a Skin
I like it, I think I kind of jokingly said a while back we should sign Parker too after signing LJ.
This gives us a pretty good 3 headed monster at RB. Shanahan loves to have a stable of backs. |
