Portis To Start!!!

WaldSkins · 11-16-2008, 08:22 PM

Portis to dress and to play:

Portis to Play; Springs Out
Shawn Springs will not be active tonight, according to a team source, with the Redskins dressing four running backs - Clinton Portis, Ladell Betts, Shaun Alexander and Rock Cartwright. Springs is recovering from a calf tear.

Will have the rest of the inactives shortly.

This is great news for us. Anyone know why Rinehart is still inactive??

So Adam Schefter is 0-3 on this mornings NFLN. He said that Portis would sit but Springs and Jason Taylor would play. Guess we get to see pretty quickly if Hall can cover Crayton.

Hopefully Smoot can cover Williams, thats the more interesting match us for me with the amount of room Smoot gives people off the line.

I hope he doesn't re-injure that knee. I'm sure the Cowgirls are going to go after him and his knee.

What the hell did Springs do to his calf that he still cant play but can practice...

My guess is because he's young, doesn't start, and they wanted a fourth running back or something to that effect.

Torn calf muscle I think...yet no one knows how long he's going to be out.

CP played his arse off!
Thanks to his effort despite the media this past week. It was a terribly rough loss for me personally but we are still in position to get into the playoffs. We just have to make the plays.

Just a guess about why Rinehart remians on the inactive list:

He can't play at the NFL level yet and the rest of the OL is not playing nearly well enough to put some guy in there that the other four have to cover for.

I don't know what you saw during the exhibition games that made you think Rinehart was ready to play now in anything but a complete disaster scenario because that's all I saw. He's a kid; he's got a chance to develop over time. But playing him now is not going to make this team a lot better.

And if you aren't going to play him, why activate him?
