It seems like he kind of done it more quitely like he did in Denver. But still great to see him on our side. It is sure great to have him none the less. Lets hope he is here for many more to come.
He's not quite the homerun hitter he was in Denver, but I'd argue he's a more complete back now.

did anyone notice the block that clinton had on the pass rusher during the first skins touchdown ? portis knocked that guy back 5 yards. plays like that separate portis from other backs.

Over 3000 yards of combined offense between Portis and Moss. Imagine if we had a 2nd WR who could push for 1000yds. With Cooley, Sellers and Betts on top, we could potentially have the best overall O in the division, if not the league.

He had alot of awesome blocks this game... if you pay attention to that stuff, he'll take out a guy who outweighs him by 40lbs like he's nothing...
Also, that was a nice throw down by santana on the int. that got called back for holding... I was cracking up laughing...
I guess that trade with Denver wasn't so bad after all, huh naysayers?I don't know if I'd go that far.
He's not quite the homerun hitter he was in Denver, but I'd argue he's a more complete back now.Well, the ball travels farther in Denver.

After the S.D. game, i went insane about how Portis wasn't doing cut backs and wasn't being explosive. I guess that committment back to the running game provided him a spark. He is a complete player and i hope there is some way he can stay with us for an extended amount of time.

The guy is an absolute beast - seams tough as nails too. I love how his jersey is the dirtiest one on the field, all stretched and tattered out of shape too. The guy just keeps on working - takes a big hit, gets back into it. He seems to be getting alot of small injuries here and there but somehow manages to get back on the field and keep going.
Just a phenominal all around back - blocking, catching and running.

i was going to start a thread exactly like this but i'm always posting things like this about Portis so it's really good to see it from somebody else.
* Portis is the TOUGHEST, HARDEST PLAYING M.F. on this team *
that guy is a piece of iron, taking all kinds of punishment while producing for us ALL YEAR, and no matter how hard he's hit, or what tough inside play vs. an 8 man front (that he knows will hurt his avg.) is called, he's ALWAYS back for more. i don't think i've seen him take more than 3 PLAYS off much less a GAME. he blocks defensive ends just as hard as he hits the miniscule holes he's given, showing how much he cares about the TEAM and not his stats.
he's done it ALL in EXACTLY the way everyone said he COULDN'T: Smash mouth, physical, inside, singleback, pass protecting, hell, even pass THROWING. those 200some lbs doing more physical Gibbs style Redskin football in a season than well, ANY REDSKIN BACK IN HISTORY according to the all-mighty stats.
with Brunell hurt and limping, and Santana and Cooley out of the gameplan, i have to just agree with the latest bandwagon jumping words from Howie Long "he carried the team to the playoffs on his back" . not to mention, you know it's not all horsesh*t when Cowboy commentator [Aikman] is singing all the praises in the world to the guy who just eliminated his former team from the playoffs..
not only is the 'little' guy still on the field after every hit, block, or catch of this crazy season of tough close games, he's done it all with the biggest SMILE on the team.
Clinton Portis ladies and gentleman, just like you said Matty, the MVP of the Redskins this season. what you think Santana and Brunell would've connected so much if Portis hadn't knocked over that blitzer? Look again, he's easy to recognize -
he's always the Redskin with the dirtiest uniform.

Well said. I appreciate anybody playing with mad heart, and Portis does. I'm glad he is on our team. That guy is a great back. Way to go Big P. He should get extra jacked-up to playing in fla.
