Hopefully he stays and we win many Rings but we should be more concerned then the downplaying has shown. I dont want to hurt feelings or cause a stampede but I am worried over this for real. I would love nothing more than to have been proven wrong in time. The worst thing that can happen to a team is change of bodies. Come week 1 we will be kicking ass and lets just go from there. There is still time to heal wounds.
Chutes and ladders or is it candyland.

Trick question, Candyland only applies to post-season.

As for your Portis' concern, I'll say what I said when we first got Duckett. I think last year when Patten and Thrash got hurt we were forced to give major playing time to Jacobs and Jimmy Farris and that really hurt us. But we got by. But this season isn't about getting by. So when the offseason began, Gibbs went out and got not one but two WRs (El and Lloyd) to be sure that he wouldn't have that same depth issue.

So I think when Portis got hurt, Gibbs looked down the bench and saw Ladell and Rock and said to himself "That ain't gonna work (high pitched giggle)" so he went out and sought some depth. Because, like I said, this season isn't about just getting by.
