Prediction????

SmootSmack · 12-08-2004, 12:08 AM

I think Portis will get 1500 and I think his big game could come against Minnesota. Skins will do whatever they can to keep the Vikings offense off the field, even with their stellar defense, and what better way to do that then feeding the ball to Portis

NY_Skinsfan · 12-08-2004, 12:40 AM

he needs to avg. 101.75 yards over the next four games to get to 1500. I think it is going to happen. if he can avg. 125 a game he will break his previous record of 1591. i can see that happening as well.

It all depends on whether we get out in front of the Vikes. I don't expect Portis to rush for more than 70 yards against the Iggles. He'll probably rack up 150 yards against the 49ers. He'll grab another 110 against the Cowboys. So, he'll need to get about 80 or so yards against the Vikes. If we keep the Vikes from getting out to an early lead (which our defense and the weather out to be able of doing), Portis will barely cross the 1500 yard mark.

I say Portis gets 1,510 yards.

aehs77 · 12-08-2004, 01:22 AM

250 yards a game from here on out. 2000 baby

heybigstar · 12-08-2004, 09:49 AM

me too, theres really no difference in getting 1459 yards and 1502 yards except for the
media calling him "first player to rush for 1500 yards in his first 3 seasons"....

Which is also great to argue with Ravens fans about who has a better back... lol,

most important record im looking for is 8-8

Portis posts big numbers we win simple as that so if we can run the ball we'll be in the hunt. This will be a major game to determine the season and the character of our offense this week. after putting up 31 last week they'll hope to do the same here and keep philly's offense of the field. Running and clock management will be key to success

I just wish they would stop wasting downs by putting in Ladell Betts.

skinsguy · 12-08-2004, 02:43 PM

Ladell has played pretty good in the last couple of games. I think he's developing into a good change of pace back to give Portis a breather. The way he played against the Giants and even the way he played against the Steelers, I would hardly call a waste of downs. In the past, when Gibbs was winning Super Bowls, he always had at least two running backs to help change the pace of the running game and to give the main back a break. I think it's worked rather nice for us.

MTK · 12-08-2004, 02:55 PM

Betts had 11 rushes for 64 yards last week. How is that a waste??

You've got to spell Portis sometime, and for the most part Betts has done a very solid job all year.

That Guy · 12-08-2004, 11:27 PM

portis could put up 200 on SF and the vikes, so it really depends on how those games go...

Are we still your favorite Redskins board to troll on?

Clinton Portis is a one of the best, i am thinking believe it or not close to 1600. If the run isnt forsaken like the first game
