remember all the talk of if we wanted Staley or Antowain Smith, or some other 2nd teir RB....what a relief knowing the horse we have in our stable will run circles around all them put together,,,,,

yeah, I'd say we picked up the best back this offseason. Although Dallas and NE will most likely pickup two great backs in Jones and Jackson

I'm keeping my fingers crossed that dallas doesn't get jones cuz I'd like to be able to root for the guy and not wind up hating him, lol.

I'm so grateful we landed Portis in his prime and not some retread.

Right on ghost.

I hope Jones and Clarett go to non-NFC East teams! I want them both to do well. Don't turn this into I HATE CLARETT thread. Go post on one of the other multiple ones.

Yeah, I'm dreading the idea of Jones becoming a Cowboy, too. Not just because I want to root for him and not hate him-- but because I know he's the goods, and it'll really suck for the Skins to have to play against him twice a year. With the problems the Skins have had defending against Cowboys runningbacks in recent years (read: "always"), Jones could do some real damage. Here's hoping Jones goes elsewhere, and/or Gregg Williams gets this defense turned around in a jiffy!

With the upgrades to our defense (in particular the LB's), and most importantly a qualified coaching staff, out defense will be greatly improved.
