One player the Skins cannot afford to lose to injury in '09

portis would be a big hit obviously to the productivity of the offense.. but he would hurt the entire team as well. Him easily being one of the top players on our team 'the heartbeat' im sure losing him would make our less than spectacular offense worse... making field position just awful. our D would be backed up on its heels all the time.. and it just wouldnt be pretty. these last few seasons hes been leading the NFL in rushing overall or yardage (basically hes been in the elite group with 2 other backs) and then injuries take their toll around week 10.. and its downhill from there just missing the playoffs or something else thats detrimental to our team.

For our defense... were thin all over the place it seems. after losing sean taylor it seems if our safties take a hit then were putting in a lack of experience.. our D line has been an issue for awhile not generating pressure so losing andre carter or god forbid albert haynesworth would be devastating.. and london fletcher being the heartbeat of our defense would crush us as well. we really cant afford to lose anyone.. our biggest weakpoints have to be linebackers for defense.. and offensive line for offense. i want to add running backs as i said for Portis.. but Ladell Betts has proven he can be a great runner.

hes also had a couple hiccups before though..

Colt Brennan

haha yea jason who?

Samuels, without question. If he goes down Campbell will take an absolute beating. The FO must address the O-line early and often in the next draft. We have not selected an O-lineman earlier than the 3rd round since Samuels was taken #3 overall in the 2000 Draft.

i really want to say fletcher because he is a beast and my favorite redskin, but there is a much better choice. portis. good lord where would we be without him.

The Redskins best weapon is Clinton Portis. Without him, the Skins are a less than average team. Samuels, Moss, Fletcher, Landry and Haynesworth are very important but Portis is the face of the Redskins.

I agree minus Campbell:rofl:..Without Portis we have NO CONSISTENT offense.
In a very close second it would be LaRon Landry and London Fletcher would be my third.

AH he was brought here to get double & triple teamed leaving the rest of DL one on one there by allowing us to get more sacks and QB pressure resulting in int and shorter field for the offense.

True but we didnt have him last yr and the defense was still good. He will make it better and help the rush but if he went down we would be in the same boat as last yr. If i had to choose id rather see him than London.
