CP on NFL Network

I really think this time that the redskins will be on nfl network. I believe that I saw on the bottom of the screen that clinton portis will be on skins cam. Finally I get to see some of my players getting some face time. Also I hope that he put an end on all that noise about Sean Taylor not being here in time for camp.

I love the way we need to rely on Portis to give us the whereabouts of Sean Taylor. I hate all these "U" guys...

Not all of them. I think Portis has really shown himself to be a vocal leader on this team. He readily admits to having an off year last year (even though that "off year" produced the second most yards in franchise history), and expects to do much better. He is defending his teammates, while still carrying the company banner.

Portis is more than a great back - I expect him to be a league-wide superstar in the coming years.

I'm really excited about, and I'm sure Portis is as well, to see more running plays tailored to his style this year. He said that Gibbs told him they averaged 5 yards a pop on stretch plays last year. I'm sure we'll see alot more of that this year, and in turn hopefully a 1500+ yard season for CP.

And with the line that we have, I wouldn't think it was out of the question for him to get 1600-1700+. He definitely has the amount of attempts required.

How would we all feel about Portis if the Redskins were the ones who drafted him and he demanded a new deal or a trade with years left on his rookie contract? If Portis is a great leader why can't he convince his fellow "U" boy Taylor to at least return Gibbs phone calls?

What does being a good leader have to do with getting someone to return phone calls?

I would think if he is a leader he would at least have the clout to get one of his teammates to call his head coach. Or are you saying that does not fall under the category of what a leader would do?

He can be a good leader, just not a flawless leader. Since we don't know ANY details, there could be something very personal going on in Sean's life that we don't know about or have any business in knowing about that may not be related to football in any way. Maybe he's seen how everything he says and does gets over-hyped and he doesn't want that publicity.

Maybe HE'S the baby's daddy to Britney Spears. We'll see if he kicks right out of her womb...

In the end ST has to be the guy to make the call. Doesn't have much to do with leadership if you ask me.

He can ask ST til he's blue in the face to call Gibbs, if ST says nah, I'm not going to call him does that make CP a poor leader??

I don't see much of a connection there between leadership and getting a guy to make a phone call.

This situation is all about Taylor, not Portis.
