If you followed the team closely enough, you would know that Clinton has gone on record several times regarding his displeasure with being made to shoulder the load. Gibbs would let Clinton take himself in and out of the game at will, whereas Zorn stripped him of this right. Just look at the number of carries Clinton had vs. Betts. Clinton has made several comments as well (often said in jest) about losing good playing years because of being the workhorse and taking the pounding that he has. I can't think of another team in this league now that primarily utilizes a single running back like we do. No One in today's nfl should expect a RB to take 90% of the carries and Clinton would tell you the same.

Hey Im all for a 2 Back system. If what your saying about Portis is true then the article reveals a double standard. It would imply he only wants to carry the ball often for his own selfish reasons and not for the teams success. I dont believe that to be the case. But if you believe that then that means you agree with Riggins. I don't.
Anyway this is getting way off subject. Getting back to where we started. You dont like Zorns ability and said he has shown none. I disagree.
