Clinton Portis' Workload

While I can appreciate the concern over clinton's workload, what is the point of not running him? you don't win the presidency by winning just the primaries, you win the primaries to have a shot a winning the presidency.

Agreed. Was that a paid political advertisement for someone running in 08?

The only good politician is one that's doing good...for me....

i thought this thread was going to be about how we might wanna worry about portis having a down game in seattle after playing hard for the past 4 games . . .

i see your point gtripp and good use of references and stats, but like everyone has said this is the playoffs and you dont hold back or worry about next year.

go skins!

Those two incidents needn't be related at all. It was a freak accident (landing awkwardly after tackling the Bengal that intercepted Brunell) that got him injured in the preseason.

Yeah I don't see any direct connection either.

He'll have the offseason to rest up. Right now it's time for him to earn his pay, and he definitely has during this run.

The numbers you cite are interesting, however, Portis looks better now than he did in September. I think he can handle a few more games. We don't really have a choice anyway. He's too important to what we're doing right now.

As the man said himself..."It was some fluke shit [that I got injured on last year]"

This time of year is why you go after guys like Clinton Portis and Santana Moss in FA. This time of year is why you play guys like Clinton Portis and Santana Moss. 'nuff said.

if he says he's good, he's good.

I must say you usually have pretty good threads Tripp, but I don't understand this one at all.

It's ridiculous to worry about 2008 when we're in the postseason now. I say ride Portis as far as he can take us in the playoffs. When you're one of a handful of teams with a shot to make a Super Bowl run, you don't worry about next season.
