COOOOLEY! Posted September 5, 2006 Share Posted September 5, 2006 They were talking about how the qb things were going and the guy asked about Shawn Springs and Clinton and the sportscaster said.... "Shawn is a no go and so is Clinton for the first game" Any truth to this or are we still on the fence? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spanishomelette Posted September 5, 2006 Share Posted September 5, 2006 I'll believe it when I don't see it. Let's see if either of them practice this week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spartacus87 Posted September 5, 2006 Share Posted September 5, 2006 I'd be more surprised if Springs plays than if Portis does. Right now I'm thinking Springs won't play (I'd rather he not so he's fully healed and doesn't miss any more time from this injury throughout the season), but I'm thinking Portis will be a gametime decision and play a little bit, maybe 10 carries or so. Fox can report whatever they want, but the game's still a week away and we don't know anything for sure yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lead Blocker Posted September 5, 2006 Share Posted September 5, 2006 We will know more when injury reports come out on Wed. Until then, it is all speculation. I saw JG on the local NBC news saying that he will have more on CP later in the week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkinsGuy Posted September 5, 2006 Share Posted September 5, 2006 Pure speculation. They have no sources inside the Redskins F.O., and I'm sure Gibbs isn't giving them any inside info either. We'll know later this week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LiveStrongSkins Posted September 5, 2006 Share Posted September 5, 2006 Minnesota doesnt have any world beater receivers so a good pash rush will cause problems to their passing game, I'm more worried about not having Portis. Hopefully Betts and Duckett can step up. Rock is a very below average running back in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tritx3 Posted September 5, 2006 Share Posted September 5, 2006 uh... with springs out, i can see troy williamson burning rogers! LET'S HOPE NOT! I'd like to see Portis get a lil more rest before he comes back... but i really really can't wait til he does! PORTIS IS THE MAN! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoudMouth12thMan Posted September 5, 2006 Share Posted September 5, 2006 I hate to say it, but I don't think it looks too good as of now. I think week 2 is the target for Portis. Who knows what's going on with Springs. I hope both make it back by week 2. HTTR! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeknows Posted September 5, 2006 Share Posted September 5, 2006 i have watched the portis play over and over and just cant see how his injury could be so serious Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkinsFTW Posted September 5, 2006 Share Posted September 5, 2006 I'd rather them wait until week 2 to play if there is any reason for them not to play. Minnesota at home with a Rookie coach is a much easier contest than Dallas on the road. Even if they do have TO on the team, they still are a tough divisional opponent.

andyburd Posted September 5, 2006 Share Posted September 5, 2006 Gibbs said yesterday that Clinton will practice today and the rest of the week, and we will see how he looks. He said if he feels he can play, then he will play. Fox TV, well say no more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stwasm Posted September 5, 2006 Share Posted September 5, 2006 For all of you hating on Faux, I mean, Fox News, please keep in mind that this came from the local affliliate here, which is respectable, instead of the wanna-be network. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HSW Posted September 5, 2006 Share Posted September 5, 2006 ...and who's going to throw it to him...Brad? Don't underestimate Brad Johnson.

That has always been one of our worst areas. I would not overlook MN. They are very hungary and are on a 6 game winning streak. They also played very well against Dallas last week. They have a very good front line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scrimmage Posted September 5, 2006 Share Posted September 5, 2006 This could just as easily be correctly reported misinformation. This week, teams, including the Vikings, are refining their game planning. Whether CP is ready to play or not, it is probably best (in the coaches' minds) that Minnesota plan for CP NOT playing.

In 1999, Brad had the best QB rating for most of the season for the entire league. He didn't throw an interception until week 11. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
