Portis is a BIG problem!!!

when a team is losing its easy to find scapegoats......the fact is that portis may be the best player on your entire team......its a shame he is starting to speak up about his unhappiness but he deserves the fans respect simply because of his talent level and his patience to wait this long before saying something

Not even close anymore.

Portis is what he is - a back with high mileage, and probably little left. Then again, who would look good week in, week out playing behind this O-line???

CP is not even the best "injured Redskin"......

I dont want to get on Portis too much, if at all... While I'm ready to move on from him overall, I dont think its fair to blame him for much of anything with the way this season has gone. As a complete back (blocking, receiving, ect) he's by far the best on our team, and people like ot give him a lot of sh*t, but he's been one of the most consistant players for us since he has gotten here, and provided an awful lot of memories....

....but I gotta say, I was very suprised at how well I thought Betts was running the ball today. Thats as good as anyone has run the football for us all season long. Its really crazy how much better that guy runs when he is "the guy" and not the change of pace guy. I'd like to see a bit more of him next week if Portis can't go....

But saying Portis is a "big" problem, makes me feel like people are trying to blame him for the teams play, when I dont think thats the case at all.

The line is a disgrace and the worst problem on the O, no doubt. BUT CP like JC does not do things competant people at their respective positions should do.

I would have to say I agree with everything you just said.

Portis isn't a BIG problem. But I think he's done in Washington.

lol sadly this same thread was brought in the offseason in which many posters on this board piggy-backed with the mods with such statements as "you dont know football" or "yeah lets blame our rb with near;y 1500 yds NS top 10 rb ranking" . . . yada yada yada

yeah dont blame cp, i you want a rationale reason you have to ask the mods who apparently when this subject of this skins being married contractually to portis in the offseason is a non issue..... yawn.

sadly, most mods are on record as saying there needs to be a change at rb, please compare this with their put down thoughts just a few months ago.

go skins!!

huh??

huh??

My thoughts exactly. lol.

Build it and they will come

Translation
Build the line and the yards will come.
