Hog1 - If he is sending that message, then he needs to KNOW HIS ROLE! Paintrain 08-08-2008, 01:22 PM I had to vote yes merely for the fact that Portis needs to get some reps and build some stamina. 3 carries this week, maybe 5 next week, 10 the following week and then rest him before the opener. SkinzzFan 08-08-2008, 01:27 PM Come on guys, he needs his rest. Those Eastern Motors commercials can really wear a guy down. Unbelievable they would even ASK him to play football. This Zorn guy has a lot of nerve! LOL. Seriously though, Clinton Portis is starting to give me tired-head. That Guy 08-08-2008, 01:45 PM man he whines a lot. apparently it's cool for every other start to play in preseason, but it's criminal to expect him to held to the same standard... Hog1 08-08-2008, 02:27 PM Hog1 - If he is sending that message, then he needs to KNOW HIS ROLE! I would AGREE with you 100%. I think he is saying that. Like ........well Coach Joe2 let me pull myself out of the game when I was tired, etc. I also think JZ is quietly letting him know, there is a new sheriff in town son. GoSkins! 08-08-2008, 02:44 PM I wonder how many people who voted he shouldn't play would be complaining if the running game starts out slow this year. How many people might say they are not using CP right or that the coach doesn't have a feel for the player... Bushead 08-08-2008, 02:49 PM Why not sit out Santana Moss because he's run all of these routes before, and it's just a vanilla defense? No. Portis needs to get in there and run just a few times. I'm not asking a whole game or even a quater. Just go out there and get mentally prepared for the games. MTK 08-08-2008, 03:17 PM The difference is timing and chemistry between WRs and a QB is important. A RB doesn't depend on that same sort of thing. Sheriff Gonna Getcha 08-08-2008, 03:28 PM The difference is timing and chemistry between WRs and a QB is important. A RB doesn't depend on that same sort of thing. Good point and I don't care if he sits or plays, but I do care about whining in public or to other players. He's asking for the kins of superstar treatment that rubs me the wrong way.
