This video really highlights his best years as a Redskin in Washington:

Clinton Portis - Joe Gibbs Era on Vimeo (http://vimeo.com/658555)

If you watch these clips you see this one from 04 to 07 which shows some really great runs then when you watch the older clips they are filled more with good blocking.

That's the same play I was going to mention as my own favorite. Actually, Portis scored the touchdown that put us ahead, and then Sean recovered the fumble that put the game out of reach and sealed the playoff spot. What a great five-game run that was.

Right! It's coming back to me now. That 5 game run was great, it was like CP was the personification of Joe Gibbs' mission, and he was carrying years of Skins nostalgia & disappointment on his back. It had only been 6 years since the playoffs but it seemed like decades.

I just remember the feeling I had when he broke around the corner & was getting close to the goal line. I had a new year's day party that day & by then I was deep into a bottle of bourbon. My in-laws were watching w/us & they are all cowpoke fans. I sang HTTR after every score & then some, they got really annoyed w/me but were cool about it. Then I kept saying that I was going to bet my house on us beating tampa. Maybe I shoulda followed through on that!
