On top of that I bet that our running backs will never run backwards, ever again.

Ever again>..............

What a shame. After he ran so well against the Texans...

Not really a surprise at this point. Whoever we choose to use at the position, including Portis must get more carries. We're not running the ball very well right now but we have to stay with it. No back so far has gotten enough carries to get into any type of rhythm.

CrustyRedskin · 09-21-2010, 07:16 PM

I rattled off every curse word imaginable and made up a few new ones, when his slow arse ran backwards!!!!!!!! Sorry Larry, i wish you good luck but good night Gracie!!!!!

If there isnt a practice squad promotion then who is out there we can sign?

The talent for Keiland Williams is there. More so then any other back on our roster, we just need him to put it all together.

Johnson looked downright slow. I hope Torrain gets a shot for some carries, but Portis is clearly the man for now.

ethat001 · 09-21-2010, 07:28 PM

Why not Ryan Torain? As usual -- I'll trust the front office has seen these guys about 20 times more than I have, so I'll wait and see. Simpson - you're up, can't get any worse than Larry.

After seeing Armstrong look like Randy Moss out there, I guess they've deserve credit for talent evaluation. Gosh I wish they were here when we had 3 second round picks two years ago...

Alvin Walton · 09-21-2010, 07:28 PM

Redskins sign Chad simpson.

I agree, I thought he looked strong in the preseason. He just needs to be patient for his opportunity and when he gets it, take advantage.

davy · 09-21-2010, 07:38 PM

Excellent news.

I never wanted this jerk on the team.

johno · 09-21-2010, 07:44 PM

thank goodness, he ran like hot garbage these first two games. i appreciate the effort and all, but he had to go. vaya con dios.

WTF? lol. In any event Johnson was costing us yrds. We had close to 30 yrds rushing on Sun. (I guess 28yrds) and when he ran he created -10 yrds so our net was 18. lol.

Can't be going backwards when the team is trying to move forward.

You need your 2nd string rb to play teams and LJ doesn't. Plus he sucks at pass pro and isn't a threat out of the backfield. Maybe Houston or Green Bay picks him up but other then that I'd say he's done.
