Is This Guy For Real?

Right on, JoeC. Proving once again you're a better journalist than Pasta-ass will ever be!

Look, I'll be honest, I didn't actually read the article. All I needed to see was Pastabelly's name, and I knew it was some anti-redskins BS designed to create "controversy" so he can have something to justify his worthless existence. Don't even waste your time with it!

It just seems that some writers are especially anxious to be the first to break a story that Gibbs may have made a personnel error, or, are eager to concoct the notion that yet again, Dan Snyder has recklessly gobbled up a flavor of the month over-priced free agent that will put the team in "salary cap hell" for years to come.

Same ol' story. And it's getting really old.

Nobody's doubting Joe Gibbs, we're doubting Lenny Pasta!

This is simply one of the biggest misconceptions we keep hearing over and over. Gibbs prefers backs who can get the job done and don't fumble the ball -- regardless of their size.

He has used running backs of all different statures: Byner was an average sized back (about 220), Joe Washington, Timmy Smith (one amazing game or not) and Ricky Ervins were all little guys. Kelvin Bryant was lanky (6'2", 195), while Riggs, Rogers and Riggins were all above 235 -- so clearly, there was no favorite prototypical running back. Gibbs handed the ball to players at that position of practically every physical type.

Must have been a slow news day for Pastabelly.

Exactly, I personally thought at the time of Gibb's first tenure, that he would have been better suited with a fast back, rather than a big back, reason? There is a lot of big holes to run through in this offense, where the big back's would get through the line with little contact, and then carry LB's for 4 or 5 extra yard's, where a speedster could have picked up much more, or have taken it to the house, the big back's rarely did that, bottom line Portis is quicker, and faster, than any back Gibb's has ever had, including Joe Washington, who was more in the mold of Chad Morton, He is on the smallish side in stature, but Portis is put together, he can take quite a bit of punishment, remeber you can't hit what you can't catch, Tony Dorsett was probably a little smaller than Portis and he held up fairly well, I would say.

like i said in the past,lenny pastabelly needs to take a box of exlax so he can clear up his very crowded mind.the only thing he's informative about is where his next meal is coming from.what a stroker.........
