flexxskins Posted November 20, 2010 Share Posted November 20, 2010 By Gary Fitzgerald Redskins.com Posted: November 19, 2010 http://www.redskins.com/gen/articles/News___Notes__Portis_Is__Ready_To_Go___Torain_Out_172573.jsp Running back Clinton Portis is expected to play on Sunday against the Tennessee Titans. Portis is returning from a groin injury he suffered in Week 4. “Looks like Clinton will be ready to go,” head coach Mike Shanahan said after Friday’s practice. Meantime, running back Ryan Torain will not play against the Titans due to a hamstring injury. Portis has participated in practice the last two weeks, although he said he had a setback before the Redskins’ game against the Philadelphia Eagles last Monday night. Portis was full-go in Friday’s practice. “He has had a number of weeks to get back into football shape and he has had a couple of weeks to practice and hopefully there is no setback,” Shanahan said.

OnlySkins4ever Posted November 20, 2010 Share Posted November 20, 2010 Man I hope he has forgotten how to bumble around like a drunk. Hopefully he lights it up like the Portis of old! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rachievegas Posted November 20, 2010 Share Posted November 20, 2010 Guess I need to take Torain off my fantasy roster. bah. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkinsCrushCowboys Posted November 20, 2010 Share Posted November 20, 2010 good for CP, can use the help in pass protection. Torain, story of his career, he is an eggshell and cannot stay healthy. Full of potential, but cannot stay on the field. May be time for that experiment to end and open a roster spot for someone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PCS Posted November 20, 2010 Share Posted November 20, 2010 Here's hoping C.P. comes back with an attitude. Team needs every little bit of help it can get. Be nice to have him back there on those pass plays too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
s0crates Posted November 20, 2010 Share Posted November 20, 2010 Great news! CP should bring some much needed speed and play-making ability, and we all know he can help in pass-pro. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tastes Like Chicken Posted November 20, 2010 Share Posted November 20, 2010 Hopefully this will help us out especially on 3rd down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Veretax Posted November 20, 2010 Share Posted November 20, 2010 Why do I have a feeling that CP will start and then get knocked out of the game early in the first quarter? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
s0crates Posted November 20, 2010 Share Posted November 20, 2010 Why do I have the feeling that CP will add another dimension to the offense and make a big difference? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#98QBKiller Posted November 20, 2010 Share Posted November 20, 2010 Here's hoping C.P. comes back with an attitude. Team needs every little bit of help it can get. Be nice to have him back there on those pass plays too. It seems like the passing game was definitely healthier with CP in there. His pass blocking is obviously good, but he's good blocking downfield too...that block in the Houston game comes to mind. Plus I think he can still have success on the ground. Having him back will at least be one reason to look forward to the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redskin faithful Posted November 20, 2010 Share Posted November 20, 2010 I hope he stays healthy and helps give the offense that spark we need. Did anybody catch his interview on Redskins.com. If not check it out, I got a good laugh out of it. Mcnabb is in the back ground the whole time joking and giving CP a hard time. All in good fun.

GoDeep81 Posted November 20, 2010 Share Posted November 20, 2010 YES!My man is gonna be back with a fire in his eye! And hopefully not a burning between his legs.. With our luck he'll be done by halftime with another "setback".. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bibby Posted November 20, 2010 Share Posted November 20, 2010 It will be interesting to see what Portis brings to the table now. If he can just give us good pass protection ill take it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpage520 Posted November 20, 2010 Share Posted November 20, 2010 Although yes I hope that CP can have a solid day rushing, I think Shanny is going to give Keiland more carries since Clinton is fresh off an injury, but at least Mcnabb will have an extra second or two to throw the ball. I have a feeling we're gonna see multiple bootleg and play action plays like we did at the beginning of the year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laxpunk2006 Posted November 20, 2010 Share Posted November 20, 2010 I'd expect to see Clinton primarily as a third down back untill he gets fully healthy. My gut feeling is we still wouldn't see him suiting up if Torain hadn't tweaked his hamstring. Hopefully rushing Clinton back into action isn't going to set him back. I know he is highly overpaid at this point but I believe he could still be a productive back in this system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skins island connection Posted November 21, 2010 Share Posted November 21, 2010 Geez, that "train" was derailed quick! What I wonder about is, will AH come in playing flat and with no effort, or will he have a chip on his shoulder for Fisher trading him ? Either way, I've always liked CP, and whether he's lost a step or two, or three, or twenty eight, he is one of the few players who actually cares, which is alot more than I can say about the rest...
