to me portis didnt seem to happy this year, even at the start of the season. i hope he doesnt want out, but i wouldnt be too suprised if he pulled a coles. portis just seems like a guy who cant stand to lose, even moreso than most atheletes, and if he takes too much losing he cracks

I have a few screws in my thumb to fix the joint and torn ligament there. Portis won't be playing anytime soon if he has the surgery I heard reports about. I couldn't even hold a pen or do ANYTHING with that hand for a while.
We COULD have hope for a late run to the playoffs with Portis...but with 6 losses and NO Portis...I say we start Campbell now and run with Betts and Duckett a lot.
Campbell will miss Portis' blocking though. Can Duckett block? At his size, he BETTER be able to.

I agree. I'd rather have him 100% next season. As long as they keep him off the field during the preseason, he should come into 2007 100% healthy.
Wow, I can't believe we're already talking about next year.
The future is now.
Cue Campbell.

i think the only one happy about the style of Saunders offense is Betts. for obvious reasons. just ask Moss, Lloyd, Randle El (least he gets to pass every now and then and completely embarass MB), Cooley and Portis in private.

No way in hell will this keep Portis out for 4 weeks.

[quote=Mattyk72;244936]It really makes me wonder what they're going to do about the offense next year. Is Saunders outta here? Or does Gibbs make him incorporate the running plays that Portis likes?
If you think this Al Saunders offense solely you need to study a little harder.
This smells of Joe Gibbs and it stinks. The same offense we saw in the playoffs last year, only the Skins have more Wide outs this year.

It's funny, I was talking to somebody about this and I mentioned "Remember when Emmitt Smith played with a broken hand".
I guess we don't have Emmitt do we...

No hate.
Just I am real about what is going on. Everyone wants to give him a pass on this year for what happened in the 80's.
That's crap.
I am a fan of good football and this year the team I love is stinking out the place.
I hear Gibbs excuses for the problems but I haven't seen any of the problems fixed and that falls on the head coach.

So your solution to the problems is what?
