SolidSnake84 11-18-2010, 02:35 PM LOL I do agree Solid....but come on Solid you got more than that for Portis...Get'em Get'em
I made my peace with Portis because i felt sorry for him, the fact that he believes he is still a top 5 player, even though its only in his head.
The truth is, i bet he believes that he can still be a starter somewhere else, and he will demand starter money, which is why he wont be back here...
skinsfan69 11-18-2010, 02:47 PM They're not getting his reps cause they're light & not run stoppers. Daniels has always played well in that regard & can play DT or DE. Sure, he hasn't gotten many sacks since that great game in 05, but he holds his own. Blocked a FG this year & is in on short yardage packages, which this team has been surprisingly solid at.
BS. Jarmon is big enough to play the run and WAY MORE ATHLETIC. I'll take a guy a who is will make some plays cause he's younger and more athletic than a slower than a turtle Daniels. Yeah Jarmon may blow an assignment or two but so what? That goes with playing young guys so they'll reap the benefits in the next year and so on. What good does it do playing Holiday and Daniels???
SmootSmack 11-18-2010, 02:59 PM Jarmon is not fully healthy yet from his torn ACL which is why he hasn't played as much. That said, dude has done everything and more asked of him. Gaining weight, losing weight, gaining again, losing again
Portis has been an extremely positive influence on the team the past several months, and showed early in the year he can still be a very effective runner and is still the league's best blocking back
skinsfan69 11-18-2010, 03:01 PM [QUOTE=SmootSmack;760233]My somewhat educated guess on what will happen with these guys:
Cooley: Trade bait ....PLEASE TRADE AND GET WHAT YOU CAN.
Moss: Re-signed to a short term deal.... TRADE OR CUT
Carter: Gone (maybe traded).....CUT
Hicks: Back as a reserve ......CUT OR BACK UP A ROOKIE
Brown: Back as a starter.....KEEP..only cause he'll be healthy in 2011
McNabb: Back.....NO! I'VE SEEN ENOUGH! TRY AND TRADE, DRAFT A ROOKIE AND START GROOSMAN
Heyer: Back as a reserve. NO! , PLEASE NO! SHOULD NOT BE ON AN NFL ROSTER. UFL PLAYER AT BEST
Kemo: If he'll take a cut, back as a reserve....NO! BEEN ON ROLLER SKATES ALL YEAR.
Daniels: Back as a reserve, unless he chooses to retire. HELL NO!!!! NEED I SAY WHY??????
Rabach: Gone ....GOOD BYE AND GOOD RIDDANCE
Fletcher: Back, he needs an heir though....NICE GUY, GREAT CHARACTER BUT NO.
Portis: Back.....NO. CAN'T STAY HEALTHY. HE'S LIKE A JAGUAR W/ 150,000 MILES. ALWAYS BREAKING DOWN!!!!!!!!
Sellers: Please be gone.....NO.. LET THE YOUNG GUY PLAY THAT SCORED LAST WEEK!!
Rogers: Will leave as a free agent....SIGN AND TRY AND TRADE. NICE COVER GUY BUT CAN'T CATCH A BEACHBALL IF IT WAS THROW TO HIM FROM 2 FEET AWAY.
Hall: Back...NICE PLAY MAKER BUT TALK IS CHEAP AND HE TACKLES LIKE A GIRL.
Moore: They''ll look to replace him.....KEEP ONLY CAUSE HE'S STILL YOUNG
Golston: He'll look to get a big payday, but will be back.....NOPE. HOW MANY YEARS HAS HE BEEN HERE AND WHAT HAS HE DONE? BIG PAY DAY???ONLY IN HIS DREAMS

LOL your a trip Solid. You made peace lol. I think its time to part ways with Portis, always like him. I just dont see keeping that salary for being a good blocking back.
saden1 11-18-2010, 03:34 PM If CP comes back in a 3rd down type of role, I'd be all for that.
It's not like our running game without him is the shit...if he's healthy I would insert him as the starter because his pass protection is invaluable in all downs.

You know where CP could go and finish his career? Somewhere like New England. He could touch the ball 10-15 times a game and would probably thrive in that role. Hoodie would keep him in check. Perfect place for CP.

I would hope RB will be high on our offseason wishlist. Not sure CP can handle the load full time anymore that's why I suggested a 3rd down role. Either way, the guy still has some value.
SolidSnake84 11-18-2010, 03:42 PM I always figured if Portis could accept a role as a backup, that he would be very good in 3rd down situations, or the occasional handoff to change things up. I just think that he still has that starter mentality and would not want to share the job with someone else...

Not sure what he's doing exactly to give you the indication that he's not willing to share the load.
He didn't pout when we brought in Parker and LJ, hell he didn't even gripe when Betts got snaps in the past.
And he was Keiland's biggest cheerleader the other night. I think it's time to admit it SS, he's not the self-serving egomaniac you picture him as.
