skin_finatic Posted February 9, 2005 Share Posted February 9, 2005 On nfl.com on the pro bowl rosters it says shawn alexander will not play, Why is Brian Westbrook in to replace Alexander, I thought Portis was the number 1 alternate for running backs. I also see that Marcus Washington will start in place of Derrick Brooks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NotInOurHouse Posted February 9, 2005 Share Posted February 9, 2005 I also think portis has the attitude that if he wasnt picked right off then he will decline bc he doesnt want any handouts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spear Posted February 9, 2005 Share Posted February 9, 2005 It's a pride thing with Portis. He said before the season ended that he wouldn't accept a trip to Hawaii as an alternate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coles80 Posted February 9, 2005 Share Posted February 9, 2005 He said before when named an alternate, that either he earns his Pro Bowl or he doesn't go, so he declined. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Griff Posted February 9, 2005 Share Posted February 9, 2005 his quote was " I don't take hand-me-downs" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Number5 Posted February 9, 2005 Share Posted February 9, 2005 It's an honor to be named to a Pro Bowl whether you start, accept an alternative role, whatever! If he doesn't like "hand-me-downs" then he should have a better season next year and be the hands-down pick! Right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FLSKINSFAN Posted February 9, 2005 Share Posted February 9, 2005 If he doesn't like "hand-me-downs" then he should have a better season next year and be the hands-down pick! I think that's his plan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he doesn't like "hand-me-downs" then he should have a better season next year and be the hands-down pick! Right? I"m pretty sure that's his idea. Of course not everybody demands that much of themselves. I'm not naming any names though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It says to me, hey.. let move on with last year already. Good for portis, I'd rather not see him hurt himself anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LIL LAVAR Posted February 9, 2005 Share Posted February 9, 2005 No portis sayed no because he wanted to go knowing he earned it no because someone droped out he sayed that like 2 months ago Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stupidsuck Posted February 9, 2005 Share Posted February 9, 2005 that's what Portis said, but I saw somewhere that he officially is missing because of his "injury" to his shoulder. but i tend to believe what CP said before Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
