The Truth about Champ! Portis-Champ Trade Analysis.

[dragontat7169]

I know many of you were wondering if the Portis-Champ trade was a good deal for us. Yes, I am going to open my mouth and state my opinion as usual. In all honesty, I have never seen Champ as a "Shut Down" Corner and after his performance against GB on Sunday, I have my proof. If we look a few years back when he first came to the Skins, who was on the other side of him? Does the name "Future Hall of Famer" and probably "Best Corner of All Time" (Those quotes were just my opinion) Darrell Green enter your mind? Let's take a look at what the opposing offenses had to throw at. When you have Green (the Greatest of all time) in the secondary and then Bailey (his protege'), how do you think Bailey got the "Shut Down" title. Considering they weren't going to throw at Darrell, so they were only left with throwing at Bailey. All it would take is a few good plays for him to get the label as "Shut down" Granted during Green's last couple of years, he lost a step and got beat. But that's when Smooooot came in. To me..Smoot is a much better "all-a-round" corner. Not only does he sacrifice his body for the team, but he actually is a great coverage corner..and smart too. I think Smoot learned alot from Darrell and also from Bailey. Now with Springs added. I think we have one of the best secondaries and will for the next few years.

IMO, the Skins getting Portis was a much better deal. While Bailey does have the chance to cause game breaking plays, Portis will be making game breaking runs. Even though Portis has not had the Greatest Season so far, I expect him to pick up the pace and start running over opponents.

Post your thoughts too. All are welcome and read.

GO SKINS!!!!!
