fuji869 Posted January 2, 2006 Share Posted January 2, 2006 As many of you know I use to live in Denver. I went back on Vacation in May 04 right after the Bailey / Portis Trade and all I heard from Bronco fans was how we got the bad end of the trade because Bailey was quiet unassuming and the NFL’s premier shut down corner and Portis was ****y, overrated, not worth the money he wanted and how we will be sick of him after 1 season. Just wondering are Redskin Fans sick of the Redskins new single season rushing leader after his second season!?!?! :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bird_1972 Posted January 2, 2006 Share Posted January 2, 2006 Portis is an absolute beast. At first, I wasnt sure he was right for a Gibbs offense, but I was pleasantly surprised. I think Earnest Byner deserves some credit as he's done a hell of a job coaching the young RB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walking Deadman Posted January 2, 2006 Share Posted January 2, 2006 If Denver is happy with Champ/Bell (the 2nd rounder we gave up)....fine. I'm very happy with CP and I think Springs is a better fit here than Bailey. It's a win-win for everybody in my op. CP has made football in DC really fun again.....that and the D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FootballGuy2677 Posted January 2, 2006 Share Posted January 2, 2006 30 Years from now the Bailey/Portis trade will look like Babe Ruth for whoever the red sox got for him. I garuantee it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snagletooth Posted January 2, 2006 Share Posted January 2, 2006 What amazes me is how he has reinvented himself under Gibbs and Byner. He appears to have significantly changed his style and made the transition while still maintianing a very high level of play. He has also developed into a real pro with his work ethic and his attitude at a very younge age. If he can stay healthly he can have a very special career.

Fan4life Posted January 2, 2006 Share Posted January 2, 2006 CP is maturing. And that is doing soo much to improve him as a Football player. now as for LA.. he could learn from a younger CP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redskins4ever Posted January 2, 2006 Share Posted January 2, 2006 No, we are not! We are glad to have him. He's everything you would want in a running back and the best blocking halfback I've seen since Marcus Allen. We love Clinton and glad he's here with the Redskins!

xsinner Posted January 2, 2006 Share Posted January 2, 2006 Unless there's a transformation which C-Port turned into a T.O., we will never get tired of him. He's becoming the heart and soul of the team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warhead36 Posted January 2, 2006 Share Posted January 2, 2006 For my money Portis is the best football player at the RB position. Yes hes better than Alexander and Grandmama LJ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poidog22 Posted January 2, 2006 Share Posted January 2, 2006 No, we are not! We are glad to have him. He's everything you would want in a running back and the best blocking halfback I've seen since Marcus Allen. We love Clinton and glad he's here with the Redskins! I totally agree....I think that the most impressive and surprising things for me are the things he does when he doesn't have the football in his hands. A lot of offensive stars (especially ones that are his size) tend not to want to put their bodies on the lines when it comes to picking up bliztes, blocking for WR's, etc. With his leadership evolving this year, I think that we're getting a lot more out of him than we would have with Champ. That's not to say that Champ isn't a player, but I think that we're a better team without him. I couldn't be happier with CP!!! :logo: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChicagoRedskinsFan Posted January 2, 2006 Share Posted January 2, 2006 These last few weeks Portis has shown everyone that this was a good move. Not just talking about 100+ yards but how about the 22 yard TD run yesterday? That's not only a good run, it was absolutely clutch! The Redskins were losing on the road in the 4th quarter of a game they had to win to get into the playoffs, Brunell playing somewhat spotty, and he takes it to the house! We couldn't afford to fail on that possesion or even settle for a field goal, and Portis made sure we didn't. He earned his salary on that run.

Correct, and has anyone noticed that he is not tripping over his feet and diving on the ground when he sees a whole like he did in the first portion of the season? His running has most certainly taken to the coaching he is receiving. We now have a prominant RB playing for our favorite team.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaw3232 Posted January 2, 2006 Share Posted January 2, 2006 His all around play and field awareness is impressive. He has been the first to react to fumbles a few times. Yesterday prior to one of his TD runs, while lined up in the backfield, the camera zoomed in on his eyes. Man, eye of the tiger. I knew he was scoring after that, a he did! As far a Champ, he is a great player no doubt. I think the trade for Portis was a good one, though at this point we sure could use a CB after all our injuries. Can we do a trade back for one week while Springs heals? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigjumbo1971 Posted January 2, 2006 Share Posted January 2, 2006 I didnt like the trade because I thought we should have kept the draft pick...then I realized how young Portis is....and Champ is a good corner but people act like he's deon in his prime...I remember Thrash giving Champ headaches a few years ago on a Monday night Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
da#1skinsfan Posted January 2, 2006 Share Posted January 2, 2006 I love the guy more and more and more with every week he plays for this team. He has devoted a LOT to this franchise. Hard work in the offseason, changing his style as a running back, bringing a ton of heart to the locker room, hitting holes hard and pushing piles, something he was never applauded for earlier in his career.......the guy is a beast, period. He played with so much heart yesterday, every time he touched the ball he wanted to win so bad you could feel it. Look at the replays of all of his runs, so many of his yards are from grinding it out and pushing the pile.....this guy seriously deserves a TON of credit.
