authentic Posted January 11, 2010 Share Posted January 11, 2010 http://voices.washingtonpost.com/redskinsinsider/jason-reid/mitchell-clinton-couldve-worke.html Asked whether Portis would benefit from improved practice habits and better conditioning, Mitchell said, "that's a slam dunk. Clinton could've worked harder.""He's got to do that, and Dan" -- owner Daniel Snyder -- "has to understand that that's what has to be done. In order for the Redskins to be successful, that's what Clinton has to do. He has to change the way he's done things in the past, in order for them to be successful as a team." :munchout: this is going to be good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SMOSS89 Posted January 11, 2010 Share Posted January 11, 2010 The best part is that Shanahan has immediately addressed this and shown he knows exactly what's going on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan T. Posted January 11, 2010 Share Posted January 11, 2010 Marko or Stump? Okay, it's Stump. That is a pretty damning assessment from a position coach, and should be a wake-up call to both Portis and Daniel Snyder that the status quo is no more.

fdarugar Posted January 11, 2010 Share Posted January 11, 2010 So whats the first day we can cut this guy again? God I hope there is no cap so we can get rid of him. This is inexcusable. Portis is an over paid lazy ass and he is holding this team back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
herb mul-key Posted January 11, 2010 Share Posted January 11, 2010 yea pretty damming of CP and Snyda, what BS!....would love to hear from the previous RB coach...Ernest Byner?...his opinion on CP... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skinz248 Posted January 11, 2010 Share Posted January 11, 2010 I thought this was Brian Mitchell... which I wouldn't mind if he became our RB coach... and KR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ntotoro Posted January 11, 2010 Share Posted January 11, 2010 :obvious: All you had to do was look at his gut during TC. I do appreciate the fact that people on the team are unafraid to say this stuff now. This is almost proof positive of a "relationship" of sorts between Portis and Pretzel Boy.

TK Posted January 11, 2010 Share Posted January 11, 2010 The last line of that article that was left out: Mitchell thinks Portis is still capable of being a Pro Bowl-caliber running back in the league, but only if he prepares like one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MattFancy Posted January 11, 2010 Share Posted January 11, 2010 I remember seeing that pic during TC and bring attention to it. I think everyone including Clinton knows he could've worked harder. Now the question is, will he work harder than Shanahan is here? If he doesn't, he will be gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TSO Posted January 11, 2010 Share Posted January 11, 2010 Well, everything has come to this for Portis now... this is a good thing for the team. Either Portis shapes up or he ships out. Win-win either way for us. I hope Portis goes at it harder than he's ever done before and comes out playing incredibly well this season just to shut everyone up.

HBnotBlades Posted January 11, 2010 Share Posted January 11, 2010 That might be the understatement of the year. We, as fans, knew Portis had some very lax practice habits, and you know it has to be pretty bad if the fans, who mostly read the overly optimistic articles, have never seen a story that contains the name 'Portis' and the phrase 'hardwork'.

That's a huge "if," considering the guy has never had anyone holding him accountable during his entire tenure here. Given the status of his contract, he has felt untouchable.

gortiz Posted January 11, 2010 Share Posted January 11, 2010 well, i'm just shocked. I can not belive that Portis was not giving it his all. He seemed like such a ...team player. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
authentic Posted January 11, 2010 Author Share Posted January 11, 2010 does this mean CP stays? The only why would accept CP coming back is if he is used in a Willis Mcgahee type roll. Hopefully we will find our Ray Rice somewhere in the draft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackBush Posted January 11, 2010 Share Posted January 11, 2010 So Dan giving out "get out of practice" cards? Great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leonard Washington Posted January 11, 2010 Share Posted January 11, 2010 Wow! So Portis was dogging it and still got in position to be the skins all-time leading rusher? I think that's on the head coach (gibbs/zorn) and position coaches for not working hard enough either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
