Can't say it enough, let's give it up for Portis

on what? that portis is an overrated back who is a product of the system? in case you didn't know, i was being sarcastic.

Im pretty sure he was agreeing with your sarcasm (that Portis wasnt a product of the system at all). He sure ran for 1500 yards outside of Denver, didnt he!

Yes, I was agreeing with the sarcasm. I've always been a rabid supporter or Portis, and felt that he is the most talented back Washington has ever had. I'm also pretty cynical towards the people who call him overrated.

portis is the man.he put this team on his back yesterday.
got to love that cpr trick with the football.
shows you that those fans have no class at all .

moss is the man also,helluva year.

136, 105, 112, 108, 112

Portis' numbers the last 5 games. Case ****ing closed.

that's December, smash-mouth football. when it was all on the line. listen to any of the press conferences and you'll hear Portis is pleading on the sideline for "Gut" and "Power" inside run plays. the ones that don't do wonders for your average. that's a 200some lb. back telling Gibbs to be MORE Gibbs, and executing and producing all those tough yards with the heart of a 250lb back.

if one can't see or appreciate that and everything he's done for this team this season (hint: it's much more than JUST record setting yards), than they're an overrated "Redskin fan"

one MAJOR concern i have though, watching Portis get up so soon after all those tough yards or throwing his whole body into defensive ends protecting Brunell like he always does, really makes me wonder:

how long can Portis play this way?

I'm sure it's been said, but it's nice to get that "he's not doing what he did in Denver" monkey off his back. With virtually identical stats to his first 2 years, there's no denying he can play. I was wrong about him when he came over 2 years ago, and I couldn't be happier!

I'm really torn between skins players as to whom to hand out the MVP award to.

Sure, Portis has been immaculate for us, but would the running game have flourished if Moss hadn't emerged as a big play threat. Then again, Moss owes his success to Portis' big play ability as well. What about Mike Sellers..without his special teams play and being a TD machine, we couldn't possibly have as many redzone TDs, and we wouldn't be handing out MVP awards at the end of the regular season. How about Cooley? Can you say more about what he's brought to the table and how he has helped mask the glaring deficiency at the 2nd WR position. How about Randy Thomas - for being the stud lead blocking lineman, outspoken leader and urging Gibbs to reinstate the run first philosophy. How about Jansen? Taylor for putting the fear of god into opposing WRs? Cornelius Griffin for our much improved D-line play? Last, but not least, how about Lemar Marshall?

Everyone was important, and some people put up stats while others play equally important roles and their performance doesn't show up in the stat sheets. I would hand out a joint MVP to all these aforementioned guys.
