Updated Depth Chart from Redskins.com

I think that based on last year and this years knee Betts should have been named starter until Portis proves he's back.

Think that Landry should have been named instant starter.

Wade turning from Tackle to guard is something to watch.

So... you would name Betts the starter based on last year until Portis proves himself, but Landry who is an unproven rookie at this point gets the instant nod without winning the job??

Interesting.

Yes.

PP blew the knee to shreds and shouldn't be named starter before Landry, the 5th overall pick and best defensive player in the draft.

The Portis thing is basically an ego thing for Clinton. I'm sorry but what have you done for us lately? Name Betts starter b/c he deserves it and maybe it will light a fire under Portis's ass.

I don't think Portis needs a fire lit under him, he just needs to make sure he's 100% healthy.

Regardless, your logic still isn't consistent.

Landry hasn't proven anything at this level. Plus he was a few days late to camp. Let him earn that spot.

Let him earn that spot.If Prioleau can so much as move, he should be infinately more prepared mentally to start this year than Landry will. If Landry does have to start at the beginning of the season, it really speaks volumes about the quality of our other safeties.

Landry would be best suited as dime back to begin the year, but if the vets play their way out of a job, at least we can make progress this year.

Yes.

Landry does not know GW's system, and it's extremely arrogant to assume because he's a good athlete, than he will pick it up that quickly and be effective. If PP is not ready, then we'll see Landry, but I assume PP is ready and Landry will learn a lot by watching. It's the wise thing to do.

I am so glad you're not our coach. Portis has earned the #1 RB spot, it would take more than what Betts did last year to unseat him. Portis was on an amazing pace in terms of TD's. You can't fault him for getting hurt. Portis is now healthy, and he has earned his starting spot.
In case you missed it, Betts was a fumble machine. Hey, I loved the guy, but last year was a learning process for him. He proved to be a VERY VALUABLE backup, one of the best backups in the league...but he still is just that, a back up.

It's about time we brought it some depth to light a fire under Ethan Albright's lowest-Madden-ranked-ass.

I don't get the Prtis bashing going on all over the place. The guy had injuries for one season. He busted a shoulder on a freak play and busted his hand on another. Now the tendy in the knee is of concern but plenty of guys in the league play fine with it. It isn't an immediate excluder. Could be a big issue but maybe not. All of sudden though Portis is "injury prone" and a guy who played well over half a season is supposedly better than a guy who reached 5000 career rushing yards faster than almost anyone else in history?

"What have you done for us lately?" Umm he carried our team offensively for 2 1/2 seasons is what he has done for us lately.

I think it's just one person that said that stuff about Portis; I think the majority of Skins fans share your opinion.

Most of us agee with you.
However, Portis has had a slew of injuries over the years. Portis has only played a full season 2 times, his rookie year and 05 when he had 1500+ yards for us.
But I will still take Portis over Betts any day. Even Portis at 90% is better than Betts at 100%.

after watching that scrimmage, i hope to see none of the redskins back ups on the field. and the depth chart at this time of the year means nothing. absolutely nothing

You are right on there. The NFL requires every team to submit their depth chart to league HQ on August 1. And like you say, this early in pre-season does not mean anything.
