Here's an intelligent post.

There's no reason to speculate about RW since he will not be available.

With RW you just need to put a bong in the end zone.

Williams and Portis would be a great combo, however Miami would be foolish to let him go and we're also not sure that Williams' huge numbers in limited playing time this season is a direct result of the Wildcat or his own talent. I'm leaning more towards his success being from the system. He may not do as well outside of Miami.

This thread is ridiculous. You’re telling me Ricky Williams is even an option. He is too old and for that matter Portis is way better them him if there is an uncapped year we should just keep him. Just shut this stupid thread down.

hes not an area of need...and the Redskins dont run the ball enough for any back to wear down a defense, plus they take running back out when he gets on a roll

SBXVII · 11-10-2009, 11:54 AM

I know we are kinda stuck with Portis's contract but honestly I see him as being done. Always injured. I know he's tough I'm not saying that. I just think he's on the decline. If we don't have a CAP next yr we would be better off paying him off and moving on. He's no longer the speedy back he was right out of college and now he's tried to get down to that weight and is not the hard pounder he used to be.

It's pretty bad when Betts came in and the team decided to simply pound the ball and Betts got yrds. Betts atleast ran over the safties, and LB's a few times.

Hopefully next yr we cut bait with all of them and bring in new young blood.

this is what its come to? Ricky frig-gin Williams? all 32 years of pot smoking Williams? come on guys. i expect this out of ES, not here

You're talking about Ditka and the Saints entire draft plus Ricky Williams!! I agree with the poster who said there's not a lot happening with a 33 yr. old running back, plus the last guy we brought here from Miami wanted to go back.

Until we get an O-line, king-kong would be hard pressed to gain yards, I would pass until that is no longer an issue.

Only if they paid him in weed and gave him a bong as a bonus.

Oh wait, hold on now.....

King Kong is available!?!? I say sign him before the Pats contact his agent!

Put aside the fact that this thread should have ended on page 2 when it was pointed out that Ricky signed an extension through 2010 with Miami. Put aside the production that he has had in Miami. The fact is that RW is an aging back who compliments a younger back behind a good offensive line. In Washington, he'd be an aging back complimenting an aging back behind a poor offensive line. Seriously? Who's smoking pot now? Next will be another "Who can we sign for the vet min?" thread. Rebuild the offensive line before you start talking about who to put behind it.
