Why does Clinton Portis always trip

As soon as Portis gets the ball he always trips or falls down, even on his one good run of 30 yards last night, he stumbled on his own feet..how the hell does he have so many career rush yards??? lol

And why were we throwing dink and dunk passes and running at the end of the game?

Clock management was horrible too. At least the defense came together after the Giants got the TD..every other aspect was lacking.

I gather this thread is supposed to be humorous, but it is hardly worthy of a thread. Not to mention that Clinton Portis is the only player that came to play on offense last night (Randle El ended up with decent yardage but also jumped offsides twice). I guess you could say Portis could have picked up a few more yards if he kept going up the field, but he was surrounded and trying to cut back to make something happen when he "stumbled on his own feet".

Portis' block on Kiwanuka was the play of the night for the Skins and the guy has a huge heart. There were plenty of things to criticize about the Redskins last night, but Portis is not one of them. Retarded thread.

Thank you.

I always say he speed wobbles. He starts going fast then seems to lose his footing. Happens quit a bit but he still rocks!

"speed wobbles"...so true. portis was a bright spot last night. it's not a criticism but i've been thinking this for a while too, right after he gets the ball he alway does something where he seems to catch himself. it's a bit odd.

Clinton Portis is the least of our offensive worries. The man is a warrior, and if we can get the other 10 guys on offense to play with his intensity, then I like our chances.

i agree..there are way bigger concerns that portis...

This may fall under the "retarded thread" category....

I was saying the same thing last night, Ive said it for as long as he has been here. He is a great back but once he hits the open field he stumbles. He had a long run last night where he started to stumble and in looked like he tried to run backwards, just looked strange.

I for one would like to see a few more plays where they let Portis run on the edges, get him outside. Running up the gut all the time is going to wear him down quickly

i actually thought you were talking about his discussion with coach Zorn. Portis is one of the few players in the league that could play for any team in the league. not even close to being a problem
