I'm surprised at so many people claiming Portis isn't a core Redskin and doesn't fit the Joe Gibbs system. My memory gets fuzzier the further back it goes, but didn't Coach Gibbs have Joe Washington as a RB for a couple of years? I remember Washington and he was as far from being a tackle to tackle runner as you could get, but it didn't stop the offense from being designed to fit your personnel.

When it comes down to it. Portis will be here next year, and so will Gibbs. That's all that matters to me. All this trade talk in my mind is a waste of time. I should've never replied to this thread.

The whole thing with Vermeil and Johnson was blown out of proportion. When Vermeil said it was time to take the diapers off, he wasn't trying to imply that Johnson was problematic, he just meant it was time for the young player to step up and contribute. I'm sure he wishes he worded it differently because the media ate it up and ran with it making a lot of drama out of nothing.
