TSO Posted April 17, 2010 Share Posted April 17, 2010 Thought some might be interested in this, especially those who can't watch Redskins Nation due to their geographical handicaps. :pfft: I'm not seeing this talked about anywhere else, either. I thought maybe Matt Terl would have a pic about it or something over at the Redskins blog, but nope. Guess I may just be the only lame one who finds this interesting, lol. Anyway, Larry Michael was outside filming the first day of Mini camp and he asks the cameraman to get a close up of Portis. He then mentions how much Portis has noticeably slimmed down. I'd have to agree with him, there's definitely a significant difference of at least 10 lbs., maybe more. It made me pretty excited to see him like that again, as I don't believe he's been that small since leaving Denver. I really think we're going to see Portis light it up this year. *Update* You can see it for yourself: It's on redskins.com. Watch the mini camp video. They are doing stretching drill and it zooms in on CP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

terrifNick21 Posted April 17, 2010 Share Posted April 17, 2010 Interesting... the clips and pics I've seen, looks like he still has a pot belly. I actually thought he looked a lot slimmer from a pic I saw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RWJ Posted April 17, 2010 Share Posted April 17, 2010 A RB we may keep an eye on for the later rounds is Alfonso Smith from Kentucky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TGW21 Posted April 17, 2010 Share Posted April 17, 2010 Interesting... the clips and pics I've seen, looks like he still has a pot belly. Yah know that that isn't really a pot belly......it's called muscle being relaxed.......it happens to a lot of very muscular Black males.........no joke :beatdeadhorse: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skns4life Posted April 17, 2010 Share Posted April 17, 2010 Yea I saw it last night too and he definitely looks thinner. I love CP and I hope he gets back to pro bowl status. I just hope he doesn't hesitate to run hard at that weight for fear of getting another concussion! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Santana_89 Posted April 17, 2010 Share Posted April 17, 2010 TSO- I caught that segment of Redskins Nation friday nite. Indeed CP looks slimmer. He's on a mission this year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skns4life Posted April 17, 2010 Share Posted April 17, 2010 On a similar note, am I the only one that thinks McNabb looks a lot thinner also? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conn Posted April 17, 2010 Share Posted April 17, 2010 On a similar note, am I the only one that thinks McNabb looks a lot thinner also? Is he not wearing his rib-protector yet? That would explain it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

illone Posted April 17, 2010 Share Posted April 17, 2010 CP is feeling the heat on his backside and is going to tear it up this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HapHaszard Posted April 17, 2010 Share Posted April 17, 2010 I think this is the first year CP has had someone pushing him for his position. I expect him to look like the old Portis this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Santana_89 Posted April 17, 2010 Share Posted April 17, 2010 CP is feeling the heat on his backside and is going to tear it up this year. Hopefully by the time Shanny gets through EVERYONE else on the team will feel the burn too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laxpunk2006 Posted April 17, 2010 Share Posted April 17, 2010 Is Portis really very muscular? From last training camp when Portis was allegedly "fat." I'd say he's a fairly muscular guy. I think that is generally a requirement for playing RB in the NFL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lavarleap56 Posted April 17, 2010 Share Posted April 17, 2010 Ive been saying CP was on a mission and would be in the best shape he has been in since becoming a redskin. 210-215 is where he will play at this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's great to hear, thanks man. He already looks like he's there, can you verify that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zguy28 Posted April 17, 2010 Share Posted April 17, 2010 He does look very similar to this guy: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S81PJfMJ5Y8 And on a side note, Larry Johnson looks like he is a big dude. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jte725 Posted April 18, 2010 Share Posted April 18, 2010 Hello Everyone, For those of you interested, I found some pictures from the first two minicamps. There's a few of Portis from the first day, seems like he did lose a few pounds. Here's hoping he returns to form this year! http://blog.redskins.com/2010/04/16/back-on-the-field/#continued - Day One http://blog.redskins.com/2010/04/17/minicamp-day-2-in-photo-form/#continued - Day Two Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
