Portis' problem is he doesn't tuck the ball, he like dances with it.

Portis isn't a trucking back, the dude's like 5'9, 210, who's he really gonna run over? He is known as a speedy elusive guy. If the guy's gotta do the Macarena to make it into the endzone then damnit, let him do it.

The fact of the matter is something is wrong with him. The drops are a mental aspect of the game, which suggests that he's not "on" mentally as far as I'm concerned. He's not playing like old, and that means that the injuries are probably still lingering. What I would do is just let him sit next week, let him get back into the right frame of mind, and when he thinks he can contribute and stop making negative plays it will be time to let him back on the field. If he continues playing like this he's only gonna hurt us some more, and we can't have that.

Brain damage, nerve damage, the yips? Seems to me something is wrong with him, and I'm not saying this to be critical. I think he needs a full physical (including neural) check up. He's not the same guy. There are many reasons his hands may be slow to react-- many are serious.
I hope I'm totally off the wall and wrong but I think this has been coming on for a while.

we need a big time play receiver, im telling you we need a player like, Braylon, or Roy Williams, Randy Moss type, we should consider getting that kid from the Bengals, who's coming back from supension, it be worth taking (chris Henry) if we can get him for a 5th or 6th rounder.....but in this league today, this is not the smurf's, we need a big target, Jason is 6-4 and his biggest weapon is Cooley is the reason why he connects so much with him.....

Well, I do agree with you about needing a big reliable WR. Chris Henry is not the answer though, he's a cancer.
We are stuck with what we have right now, and nothing is really going to change that.
We need to reevaluate our wr's come the end of the season...that's for sure.
SS reported that Fitzgerald wants out of Arizona, we could make a nice offer and he'd look great in a Skins uni.

a little overrated is all...

i seriously believe that moss is overrated. an im not just sayin this cause we lost, i have honestly think that.

this is probably in another thread somewhere but anyhow, i watched the interview with portis today and his comment(although kinda funny at the time) about how jason was at redskin park for 18 of 24 hrs a day, then when asked about his work schedule portis replied "anything over 9 hrs is a breach of my contract, hahaha". but behind every joke is a little bit of truth. every time i read the skins news, same old thing. "campbell stayed after practice working with several different receivers today, among them were thrash,randle el, Mcardell" blablabla....point is i never here anything about moss or lloyd out there putting in extra time to help a young qb out. coincidence these are the same jackasses dropping and fumbling? (im sorry, but if you get paid millions to catch a piece of pigskin and the ball touches your hands, a constant drop is inexcusable). we shot ourselves in the ass today and as coach gibbs would say, "we all need to take a good look at ourselves in the mirror"

Just got home and watched the game on tevo...Wish I hadn't now. As for Moss what is wrong? Well another player that has one good year and is now nothing. A has been that NEVER was!!!! It's hard to be a Redskin Fan these days. I feel for Gibbs.....never should have come back to this bad a team!

One thing you said is so right there is a lot of players not putting in thier time to win a Championship. The money the Redskins pay Portis he should be giving much more then this team is getting!!!! I wish he was back in Denver for a first round draft pick in next years draft!!!! I hope you read this to #26!!!

a play for larry Fitzgerald would be great, we could trade moss, llyod and ARE, and start fresh there a vet like L.Fitzgearld and get some rookies in the draft, keep thrash and another vet, trade portis and C. Rogers bring in a DE like J. Peppers, thats not a bad deal for us, cause believe it or not, were a talented WR away from being an elite club, I know alot of you guys think attitude is key, but Randy Moss, C. Dillion and others worked out fine with good orginzations and we have that here...we can ride or die with betts...

[DEVIL'S OWN]

ITS LIKE portis and moss or pissed at the organizations now......and they seem not to put in that extra needed to make us elite I mean, these are Miami guys, Sean Taylor put in the time to lose 15 pounds in the off Season to roam the field better and thats paying off on D, its time to pay him or were fucked with out him on D

Santana Moss is an incredible player and a huge part of our offense. He had a bad game. He's probably still hurting a bit. Let's give him a break this week and watch him bounce back against the Cardinals. Expect Moss to bounce back immediately.

Something tells me SM won't play in this game. I heard he hurt his hammy. He seems to miss alot of games. He had that problem in NY, thats why they dumped him. If he does play, He needs to have a chance early in the game to redeem himself. He is a bigtime playmaker and need to get the ball early and often. Skins 32- Cardinals-0. Thats right, a shutout!!!

What about the multi dimensional Tim Rattay!? I mean his first consecutive start this season. And been on the team since last Monday...
