JimmiJo Posted October 7, 2009 Share Posted October 7, 2009 http://www.warpathconfidential.com/?p=1516 Portis sidesteps comment on Lewis Running back Clinton Portis is known for his outspoken opinions. Vice president Vinny Cerrato even jokingly called Portis his assistant GM. But, Portis declined comment on the impact of Sherman Lewis’ arrival as an “offensive consultant.” “It don’t matter what I think. Next question,” Portis said. “I got fired [as assistant GM]. They released me from that duty. Right now I’m just a part-time running back.” Portis said his sore ankles are better this week, though not 100 percent. Still, he plans to practice during the week. Facing Carolina’s defense ranked 23rd overall seems more enticing to others than Portis. “I don’t think you’ll ever look at a Carolina defense and say, ‘Oh man, we’re going to have a field day.’ They have guys capable of making plays. On film, you wouldn’t think they’re giving up 180 yards [rushing] a game,” he said. Click the link to read the full article... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SMOSS89 Posted October 7, 2009 Share Posted October 7, 2009 You know what, I'm starting to think that CP and Snyder have had a bit of a falling out...he seems surprisingly more humble this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skinz248 Posted October 7, 2009 Share Posted October 7, 2009 Say what??? Read the article.... He said he was released of his Assistant GM duties. This is clearly him joking if anyone can't see that you need to take it down a notch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skinz248 Posted October 7, 2009 Share Posted October 7, 2009 Are you guys kidding me? Are you really taking this seriously? There are TWO quotes from CP. You have NO CLUE what context this was said in. You have NO CLUE what else was said as part of this interview. As far as I am concerned, this article SUCKS.

TD_washingtonredskins Posted October 7, 2009 Share Posted October 7, 2009 "part time running back" seems a little bitter too. I thought the same thing. I think he's emotionally preparing for his dismissal from the team this off-season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koolblue13 Posted October 7, 2009 Share Posted October 7, 2009 He's still butthurt that he's not the "3rd down RB". So am I. It makes no sense to me, because we have nobody who can come close to doing what he can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SMOSS89 Posted October 7, 2009 Share Posted October 7, 2009 I thought the same thing. I think he's emotionally preparing for his dismissal from the team this off-season. Except for the part where eating his contract for 2010 would be a chore, uncapped year or not. He is still effective enough to help a team win games. Probably needs a speed guy to go with him, though. But hey, that's why Vinny gets paid the big bucks. To play raquetball, I mean...err.... add speedy backs to the roster!

MattFancy Posted October 7, 2009 Share Posted October 7, 2009 You guys read too much into everything CP says. He's cleary joking around with both comments. He's a part-time RB now because he's not an "assistant GM" anymore. Relax! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ntotoro Posted October 7, 2009 Share Posted October 7, 2009 I thought the same thing. I think he's emotionally preparing for his dismissal from the team this off-season. Could the team even absorb the cap hit from his signing bonus in the last "re-do" of his contract? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TD_washingtonredskins Posted October 7, 2009 Share Posted October 7, 2009 Could the team even absorb the cap hit from his signing bonus in the last "re-do" of his contract? If 2010 is uncapped, we could absorb a lot (and I'd recommend we rip the band-aid off in that case). If not, I don't believe so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koolblue13 Posted October 7, 2009 Share Posted October 7, 2009 Could the team even absorb the cap hit from his signing bonus in the last "re-do" of his contract? No cap next season. It's the end of the FA era and personally, I'm glad. Lets get back to the great days of the dynasty, where a successful franchise can keep it's players and stay great.

ntotoro Posted October 7, 2009 Share Posted October 7, 2009 Um... Isn't that what he did? He "declined comment" by making stupid, snide remarks... ? It wasn't even funny. I really, truly just wish we were out of the Clinton Portis business. I can't believe I've gotten to that point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
