Actually though it does bring me to another question, any of you guys have any good sites to research player stats and things of that nature?

Here are three of my favorites:

Active NFL player stats: http://www.nfl.com/players
Historical NFL stats: http://www.jt-sw.com/football/pro/teams.nsf
Redskins database: http://www.extremeskins.com/index.php
The second site is one of the most comprehensive collections of NFL historical stats I've found on any free site. It has season-by-season stats for every NFL team, and even has stats for now-defunct historical teams. They've even been adding box scores of NFL games to the site, and have compiled them all the way back to the '94 season. Hopefully, they'll continue to add to it. It's damn good for a free site.

awesome job finding all of that info. do you know if its possible to see what situations the team was in when he has had his fumbles the past 2 years? I only ask cuz I'd hate to see another Stephen Davis situation where he fumbles within 5 yards of the goalline(like he did in that last drive against us this year) or near the end of a game trying to wear the clock out (like in the cowboy game a couple years ago which was one of the worst game to watch in my life.)

I thought for a long time that Davis fumbled a lot, but actually he has a very low carry-fumble ratio.....one of the lowest in the league. Surprising huh? I guess it's just because he gets so many touches.

I think the more agonizing aspect of Davis' fumbles was the timing of his fumbles. Diving over the goal line against Arizona, while running out the clock against the Cowboys, among other heartbreakers

Another great post, Crisp.

And it's not impossible that Betts will have a nice year spelling Portis. Plus we have Rock and Morton, so we can take the heat off Portis at times. And he's oh so young.

Also, having break-away big-play speed keeps defenses worried. On any given play, Portis can take it to the house. I'd love to see us run some screens and dumpoffs for him in the passing game as well. Get him in the open field!

With Gibbs, Bugel and Zampesi crafting the plays, this should be a fun year, once everything gets clicking.

Clinton Portis: by far the best RB in the NFC East, maybe even the entire NFC (apologies to Ahman Green).

I think portis is definitely the best in the NFC east but I'm not so sure yet about the entire NFC. I mean Ahman Green has been a monster for atleast 3 or 4 years hasn't he and until Portis catches the ball as much as him with the same productivity I don't know if I can put Portis up there, but I can't wait to see what he does in a skins uniform next year especially against the division.

p.s.(duece mccallister ain't too bad of a running back either)
