Portis Endorses T.O. Coming To Washington, Would You?

Fair enough. Let me ask you this then, when our backs were to the wall after having lost 3 in a row and we were about to face the Rams how do you think TO would have acted if he were a Redskin? Do you think he would have been a positive for this team? Or let's say it was TO, not Moss, that was with us this year. And his numbers were great to begin with but had recently been going down, do you think he would handle it the same way Moss has?

Good Point, except we wouldn't had lost 3 games in a row with T.O., period

TO is a cancer because of exactly this reason! He has created a divide in the locker room. McNabb hates him and wants him gone. Trotter loves him and wants him to stay. And there's a bunch of other guys on each side of the fence. You're telling me that because a portion of the players want to keep him, that's a good sign???

You want all of your players on the same page as the coaches. TO caused that huge rift. Reid and McNabb want him gone, and a bunch of other players want him back. No matter how you cut it, that ain't good.


Also, in situations like TO when players are asked directly by the Media how they feel about a particular player in a situation like this being welcomed back to the team, they hardly ever mention anything deragatory in reference because that's the smartest way to remain neutral. Some players are naturally going to say they would welcome him back when in reality, that's the farthest thing from the truth.

you don' know that, the skins could lose 3 or more games in a row due to any number of cercumstances. it's situations or scenarios like that that coaches have to be prepared for by having the right kind of players and coaches who are capable of handling and staying positive during such situations.

t.o clearly is not capable of handling or staying positive in a situation such as that.

gibbs would never sign t.o or any player like him.

That would be AWESOME!!!


TO brings down every team he is a member of...... :food-smil

Thats right, you don't know....but thats why we have these discussions....all about debate wheather or wheather not

Sorry didn't get your quote in there, but it was "NO, NO & NO"

Absolutely! He would ruin the unity that we are starting to develop. No doubt he is an incredible athlete. However, he is not of the mold of a "REDSKIN" I hope Vinny does not get his hands in this----please say NO thanks Mr. Gibbs.

YES

I would take TO. I think this year will humble him in my opinion. His mouth got him in trouble, and jepordized his career, you think that doesn't play in his mind. The next team that gets him is gonna have a steal because he will be smarter in what he says.

He wants to be payed like a top ten reciever, I can't see why he shouldn't. HE IS A TOP TEN WIDEOUT. Can we give him the money, I don't know. I know we can pay him what he wants, but can we fit him under the cap?

If you look at what he would bring to the team. ~Moss would no longer be double or triple teamed. He would free up the run for portis, and with weapons like that Rogers has no option but to succed and become better.

If we can keep Greg Williams here for next year, we would become a instant superbowl contender, can't deny the potiential

I would take TO no in a heart beat. Who cares if he runs his mouth. We would have the fastest receiver on one side, the most dominant possession receiver on the other, cooley always finding somewhere underneath and portis in the backfield...That would be amazing.

Completely off topic, and pardon the ignorance, but what exactly does "possession receiver" mean? I hear the term all the time, but I don't know what it means.

Thanks!

It's a guy that can catch the ball in traffic and keep the chains moving. Traditionally, a "possession receiver" isn't a big-play guy. Examples of possession guys would be Keyshawn Johnson, Wayne Chrebet circa 2000, and the ultimate would be Art Monk.

I wouldn't call TO a possession receiver because he really is dominant at catching balls in traffic and at catching balls on deep routes.

Andy Reid and Donovan McNabb definitely seem to care when TO runs his mouth. I think fans would be willing to listen to TO talk all he wanted if his talk didn't cause rifts in the locker room. That's the issue, and it shouldn't be ignored just because TO can bring big plays.
