Re: Clinton Portis to switch to #21

I didn't hear anything in the press conference about Portis switching his number either.

I think that would be a team descission, not goodell's.

The point is that if he decides to wear the jersey to honor his friend, no one is going to stop him. That's just my opinion from what I've seen of his attitude so far. I can't see team officials telling him not to wear the jersey. I hope it happens. The man deserves as much of a tribute as possible and that would be a nice way to do it.

I hope he wears it with "Taylor" on the back.

I hope CP follows through with this. I personally don't mind and think it is an awesome tribute to a fallen friend and teammate.

They should all come out wearing their normal numbers but with the name plate "Taylor" on every Jersey. CP should wear the number 21 as well

It wasn't in the press conference. Chick Hernandez has been outside Redskins park all day, and he announced it live on Comcast shortly before the press conference. Whatever time I posted this thread, it was announced about 2mins before that...

I also beleive it will help the team, friends, and family with the grieving process.
I like this idea the best. It would be the greatest way to honor our friend.

Re: Clinton Portis to switch to #21

Clinton Portis has really shown me something in the last 24 hours. He is an all-time Redskin in my book.

He's been an all-time human being these past few days. Redskins Insider was reporting that once Snyder heard, he called CP (who was in Miami with them). CP called his teammates.

I don't know who wears the "C" on their jersey. I do know who the Captain is.

This is awesome. They should retire the number next year.
