where the Portis haters?

illdefined · 11-08-2004, 07:13 PM

couple weeks ago, tons of you were crying for Champ, saying Portis was overrated, too small, just a part of Denver's system etc. etc. this is a call for rations of crow from all y'all and a call for recognition of our MVP on that side of the ball.

Not here dogg.....

Champ who?

Do you belong to another thread too illdefined? Maybe EXSkins?? I dont remember reading any of that stuff here.

Riggo44 · 11-08-2004, 07:43 PM

Not here. I've said all along I will take Portis with Springs at CB all day.Over Champ at CB and Trung Canadate at RB.

djnemo65 · 11-08-2004, 07:57 PM

not only is Portis turning out to be as incredible as we all hoped, but what I love best is that the rest of the world is finally finding out what us Skins fans have known for years: that Champ Bailey is the most overrated player in the NFL.

The contract we offered Champ would have made him the highest paid corner in the league, and that wasn't enough for the self-proclaimed best corner in football. He needed to approach sixty mil.

Then I saw him on Jim Rome's show knocking Smoot and Springs, saying "those guys can cover, but they ain't me!" Whatever, they are both playing at least equal to him this year. He also said that he didn't care about the losing in Washington, he was just trying to get paid. That certainly encapsulates what kind of person and player Chump Bailey is. Whatever Champ, nobody misses you around here. We got the best d in the league without you.

All this being said, I could still go for that second round pick back....

Whatever, let him bash Smoot and Springs. I'll tell you right now that if you put Smoot and Bailey in front of me. Told me I had to pick one to be the Washington Redskins CB opposite Shawn Springs for the next 10 years, I would take Smoot without even thinking about it. Whatever Champ, you didnt want to be hear, dont talk sh*t about our guys.

War Portis taking a crack at 1500

nope, warpath is the only board i go to (on ANY topic, sadly). you don't remember the Champ trade doubts?? granted it was a while ago, but the silence has been deafening since.

just recently i had to argue he's our our offensive mvp by far (instead of Gardner?), and he was getting frighteningly little recognition in the gameball thread, even tho he ran for 150 yds against a tough run defense AND had a perfect QB rating!!??

Ok, totaly different time period is what had me messed up. I got the idea that it was very recently. My bad.

skinsfanthru&thru · 11-09-2004, 11:32 AM

I think one of the main things for those showing unrest with the trade until the past couple weeks is because of Portis' large numbers of fumbles in such a short span, with 2 or 3 of those resulting in touchdowns by the opposing team. Hopefully gibbs will adapt the system a little bit more towards portis's style and Portis will learn not to ever run 5-6 yards backwards.

Daseal · 11-08-2004, 08:20 PM

I like Portis, but last week he proved he WAS a system back. He didn't do that well in Gibbs' offense. We start using Denveressque blocking schemes and he has a huge game. Imagine that, Joe Gibbs actually wised up and worked to Clinton's forte.

I agree,too bad he cant put in the jacksonville offense from 8 yrs ago and make Brunell start playing like he did then

Imagine that, Gibbs adapting his offense to his player's strengths. Not changing it wholeheartedly, but adding wrinkles, as Matty pointed out. Seems I've seen someone on this site repeatedly calling Gibbs too old and stubborn to change

Daseal · 11-08-2004, 08:37 PM
