revallenjr Posted August 29, 2007 Share Posted August 29, 2007 I think Betts will be lucky to have one game over 100 yards this year, mainly because Portis will be running the show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RFK Lives Posted August 29, 2007 Share Posted August 29, 2007 I think you are the first. Not a big shock, that we part ways at the end of the year. I just hope he is motivated to put up big numbers to land a gig with another team. Is his contract in its last year? I didn't think so but I am not sure.

Califan007 The Constipated Posted August 29, 2007 Share Posted August 29, 2007 Omfg, what a HORRIBLE "rumor" lol...anyone who watched the video of Portis' interview knows where this "rumor" got started...and they're presenting it as if Portis is having deep introspective thoughts on how he feels this very well could be his last season as a Redskin (complete with serious, introspective-looking photo to accompany it lol :laugh: )...Gawd, I love the press. :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brandon Lloyd Christmas Posted August 29, 2007 Share Posted August 29, 2007 all of this because he said if he doesnt produce he'll get cut/traded/let go. this is absurd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boots Posted August 29, 2007 Share Posted August 29, 2007 I'd hate to see him go, but it's weird the way he hasn't even taken one snap so far in the pre-season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Major Harris Posted August 29, 2007 Share Posted August 29, 2007 i wouldn't be surprised. i'd like to see what his cap #'s are after this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rdskn4Lyf21 Posted August 29, 2007 Share Posted August 29, 2007 I'd hate to see him go, but it's weird the way he hasn't even taken one snap so far in the pre-season. Do you need a reminder of why he didn't play much last year? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Touchdown Redskins Posted August 29, 2007 Share Posted August 29, 2007 First of all, those SI rumor pages are garbage. I used to read those all the time, and it was rare if any of those rumors came to fruition. Second, Portis made one comment in an interview where he said he had to perform or he was out. It's a motivational tool for him, and the tone in which he said it made it seem like he wanted to remain a Redskin and that the FO was the one who would axe him. In any case, he's going to perform fine, he has a chip on his shoulder, and we all know what he can do if he stays healthy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kmast000 Posted August 29, 2007 Author Share Posted August 29, 2007 im not sure if it's Betts that is struggling this year to find the holes or if it's the O-line that is not able to open those holes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HailRiggoRanger Posted August 29, 2007 Share Posted August 29, 2007 This post reminds me of the "Portis Breaking News" post about a week ago. Just a lot of hot air and wasted bandwidth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DCHead Posted August 29, 2007 Share Posted August 29, 2007 Just curiously, does anyone know the cap situation/hit the Skins would take if they were to release CP after this season? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chief skin Posted August 29, 2007 Share Posted August 29, 2007 Betts is a good back but Portis is a workhorse, don't want to see him go Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terpfan Posted August 29, 2007 Share Posted August 29, 2007 LOL talk about taking a harmless statement and running with it. Portis was just saying that he had to have a good year this year. I took it as him thinking that if he didnt produce he wouldnt be here. Makes sense to me. It's not that he wants to leave or that we are currently shopping him.

SkinsTerps26 Posted August 29, 2007 Share Posted August 29, 2007 no rdskn4lyf. I remember the injured sholder. but, not one play? LT. Not one play. Portis is nursing a knee, do you really need to see him go for 1 series for a grand total of maybe 2 rushes against jacksonville? Is that really going to make or break the season?

skinstzar Posted August 29, 2007 Share Posted August 29, 2007 I'm getting sooooo tired of this. In five seasons in this league Clinton Portis has put up 1500 yards three times. He put up 1300 yards in another. He is on a faster pace than Emmitt Smith, the leading rusher of all time. We all know what CP can do, Joe Gibbs knows what CP can do. There is no need at all for him to play in the preseason, especially after his injuries last year. Clinton was just being real when said he might not be here next year. That goes for every player on the roster who doesn't perform. Clinton Portis is this offense. If it doesn't run through him then it won't succeed. They will put up some points but they will still lose close ball games. The media has made CP out to be a bad guy. His teammates love him, he plays his heart out and he is one of the best rushers in this league when healthy. I urge fans not to get caught up in this mess and to be thankful when he is the starter come week one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RFK Lives Posted August 29, 2007 Share Posted August 29, 2007 Betts is a good back but Portis is a workhorse, don't want to see him go I certainly don't want to see him go. I just want a healthy, productive year from him and hope for all our sake we get it. Whenever I think of Portis, I don't think of the TD runs, I always think of him blowing up the Tampa Bay Linebacker in that playoff game. His blocking skills are underrated and we have seen Betts' blocking skills are well...missing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you new to the board or something? Facts have no place here! People want to say that Portis is leaving, Gibbs is leaving, Brunell is going to the Falcons, Al Saunders is a failure, and Dan Snyder eats babies, so it is true!
