Clinton Portis appreciation thread

It's amazing to see the burst of speed Portis had on his 64-yarder. His legs look so fresh. It's amazing what a couple 300+ carry seasons can do to a player.

Career long 78 yards. Amazing how so many people on here bashed him for a 78-yard run.

He still had it in the end. When he couldn't go around someone, he went through them.

Shame that injuries ranked up so quickly and frequently.

Now that it's all said and done, I'm kinda bummed #26 is gone. Definitely one of my favorite Redskins of the last 10 years, and probably of all time.

best blocking back I haver seen

Yeah, he's a player people loved to hate and rip while he was here, but we'll all miss him. After we lost Taylor, he really stepped up as a leader on and off the field. He's had his good and bad moments, but in the end, he's one of the greatest Redskins players of all time.

Definitely my favorite along with Darrell Green. I may not even retire his jersey. I won't be ashamed wearing it after he's gone.

Definitely one of my favorites as well! I kept hoping there was a slight chance that he'd come back and be a one two punch with Torrain, but I suppose it's not meant to be. Thank you Clinton Portis!

I realize that there's already a thread on his being released, and that many have weighed in with comments expressing appreciation for his contributions over the last seven years, but in my humble opinion, this is worthy of a separate thread. Although limited my injuries the last few seasons, when healthy he was very effective and played with a lot of heart.

Moments that stand out to me are his first run from scrimage v. the Bucs (64-yard TD run -- I was fortunate enough to be at that game, and people went crazy), countless blocks on blitzing LBs which he did without fear (I think he knocked a blitzing Sheldon Quarles unconscious at one point), and his incredible performance in the last 5 games in 2005 to get us to the playoffs. I wish the man well.

I'm included in a long list that share both your views and memories. Number twenty-six has been like a fixture that is now broken. Sort of hate to see the man go. Good luck!!

Best way to start his tenure here with the TD. Will be missed CP.
