Pages : 1 [2] ArtMonkDrillz 09-06-2006, 07:43 AM Cooley is doing an interview on DC101 right now and he just said that he thinks Portis wont play on Monday and that Betts has been preparing to start. Obviously that's not offical or anything, but kind of interesting. ArtMonkDrillz 09-06-2006, 07:47 AM They'll probably put the interview on their website later on today. There wasn't really much to it, but they did say that this will be a weekly interview after games. The website is eitm online :: HOMEpage :: Elliot In The Morning (http://www.eitmonline.com) vaoutlaws2006 09-06-2006, 07:48 AM the redskin brain trust has the rest of the week to make a decision...before we all start rumors lets wait til there is an offical decision made. someone else said something about knowing the importance of beating the cowboys. I would rather see a healthy portis against the cowboys than almost healthy portis against the vikes. Daseal 09-06-2006, 07:58 AM What I'm saying, Dmek, is that football front offices don't exactly tell you the truth about players. I think Portis may be worse off than we are told. That's the only reason I can see for us picking up Duckett. I hope I'm wrong, but I wouldn't be the least bit suprised if we went up to 4 games without Portis.

A team cannot lie about what an injury is. Yes they hem and haw. And yes they smudge the truth but they cannot say he has X injury when he actually has Y. It was reported that he had a subluxation of the shoulder. Many people did research and even some experts weighed and said it was not a serious injury as long as they rested it and gave him time to heal. As I mentioned in another thread he can lift heavy objects over his head repeatedly. The shoulder is ok. Maybe he doesn't play this week as a precaution but this low hum of "he wont play for weeks" that has been hanging around here is simply wrong.
