Re: Clinton Portis appreciation thread
With out question Portis has been my favorite player for many years. I have been hoping to see him return to his Pro Bowl form but i guess it just wasn't meant to be. I am very sad to see him go but wish him all the best. Shame we couldn't have kept him as a 3rd down back. His blocking skills alone would have been well worth the risk of injury

Re: Clinton Portis appreciation thread
I was at his first game as a Redskin where he busted off that 64 yard touchdown run. I'm definitely gonna miss him, lotta people gave him shit what with being injury prone these last 2 years but he did play with heart and he has always been our best blocking back for a long time. I really wish him success elsewhere, I just wish his time as a Redskin had been better in terms of wins and success.

6,824 yards.
46 touchdowns. 7 seasons. One can only guess what he could have done with an Hog-like offensive line. Thank you CP. Godspeed. |

Re: Clinton Portis appreciation thread
Clinton always played hard and you can never ask anything more of a player. I always liked Clinton and I think he will be missed. So as of now, we do not know who is going to take the snap from center or whom he will hand it off to or whom he will throw it to. My, we look like we are going to have a stellar season in Shanahan II.

I just remember the feeling I had when he broke around the corner & was getting close to the goal line. I had a new year's day party that day & by then I was deep into a bottle of bourbon. My in-laws were watching w/us & they are all cowpoke fans. I sang HTTR after every score & then some, they got really annoyed w/me but were cool about it. Then I kept saying that I was going to bet my house on us beating tampa. Maybe I shoulda followed through on that! |
