I'm curious, and certainly not to kick up any dust, but how is Champ Baily playing this year?
He has not run for 818 yards.........

Anyone remember this from back in the offseason?

I certainly have new respect for Stump Mitchell. Portis definitely deserves it. SFREDSKIN has it right, the MVP should make a difference between winning and losing and Portis does that.

Champ Bailey has been battling injuries while playing for a rotten defense.

I can tell you right now, we better get the passing game in-sync next week, because you can be damn sure Pittsburgh's #1 goal on that MNF game week 9 will be to shut down Portis.

I really hope JC's groin is okay. It definitely affected his throwing motion.

The Associated Press: Portis runs for 175 as Redskins beat Browns 14-11 (http://ap.google.com/article/ALeqM5iX_fRiDCfZtlOyqqQw3JnLoNwOqgD93TU0580)


Idiot. Eat that.

The 818 yards are impressive but don't tell the whole story.

1. CP leads the NFC in rushing TDs (7, and only 1 behind White for the league lead)
2. He leads the NFL in runs of 20 or more yards (8, and that is 2 more than Jacobs of NYG who is second)
3. Portis has 43 rushing first downs, by far the league leader in that category. Marion Barber is second with only 33.

He also leads the league in carries. He is our workhorse and we will only go as far as he will take us. If he can stay healthy, he could shatter his own Redskins record for rushing yards in a season. He is well on his way to Hawaii in Feb.

A lot of RB's have won MVP and Barry Sanders is the only one I can think of who legitimately had a mediocre line. So I don't think we're dissing the line in suggesting Portis is deserving of this award so far.

It's a strange year to date, but I can't really think of anyone else in the league even close to CP, with the exception of maybe Brees. Albert Haynesworth might truly be the MVP of the league but I don't think I'll live to see a DT win that award.

Anyway, go Portis!

He was talking about Champ Bailey, ricky.

Absolutely, I see only Brees being able to challenge him at this point, but he'll be playing without Bush, Shockey (first week back and injured his groin again) and Colston is back but still not healthy, wearing a splint and dropping balls. It will be a tough task to keep up his numbers, as we saw yesterday.

I just heard on ESPN radio that Portis has gone over 120 yards in 4 straight games and ONLY JIM BROWN and OJ SIMPSON have ever done that.

CP gets my vote for MVP. However our passing game really needs to step up. We're releying too much on CP.

I agree. Where is the play action pass been for the last couple of weeks? You would think that with the running game doing as well as it is, play action would open up some big strikes down field. After the Dallas game I haven't seen it as much.
