Willie Parker a Skin

A move like this helps keep our options open in the draft.

Portis, LJ, Parker certainly looks a lot better than Portis, Betts, Cartwright

I like it, I think I kind of jokingly said a while back we should sign Parker too after signing LJ.

This gives us a pretty good 3 headed monster at RB. Shanahan loves to have a stable of backs.

Why do you hate Anthony Alridge so much...hater!

Maybe this is the big announcement SS was predicting a few days ago...or not. LOL. Anyway, wow, talk about this coming out of nowhere.

I'd feel better if Portis wasn't the youngest/best of the bunch.

I guess Parker is younger, technically, but I don't like this one as much as the LJ signing.

It's not.

Once Parker left without a contract last time and we signed LJ, I thought that was it for Parker

Very Very Nice!

Who?

For all the talk of how the Redskins have been slow to do anything this off-season, we've now signed 7 players who were not on our roster last season...which is the most of any team in the NFL

I like it because it allows for varying skill sets. They all are well suited for a zone-blocking, one-cut style. But Johnson's a bit more of a bruiser, Portis is the all-around with the great pass protection skills, and Willie is still pretty darn fast and can be that change of pace.

The backfield is taking shape with short term solutions, I'm sure there has to be a longer range plan in mind. One year contract in a crowded backfield dosen't leave room to expect a lot by way of the future.

Oh! I forgot, the future is now.
