that might be true 12thman. brown isn't gonna get cut because he's not a good wideout. rufus brown is headed for the practice squad, i'm willing to bet on that cuz they need him if we get injured. sideeq shabazz is gone, dude gets burnt for big catches more often than the ade. we can't keep farris, cartwright, and broughton, and anyone of those three might be gone. penalties absolutely killed us, they need to work on that. i don't know how anyone can say portis ran all over them last night, he only had 2 carries for 16 yards. ramsey only played a couple series too, he went 2-4.

Farris will be the odd man out, much to our dismay as fickle fans. LOL He displays Thrash like qualities anyway - and since Thrash is better and proven I think we'll be fine. I think the Manny White injury, unfortunately, helps Nemo make the team. White was pretty much going to be an H-Back/Fullback.

I don't think it was that Portis ran over anyone, I think it was more that he broke the line of scrimage for more than five yards!! Which is encouraging because last year he earned some tough yards. By the way, he did drag one of the their DBs a couple of yards for a first down and Suggs had to help out on the tackle.

I agree, but to be honest, a guy who strictly just returns kicks better be exceptional at it, and so far when I think of Brown, I think of that good return last year, (against Minnesota?), moster fumble at Dallas, 4 straight drop balls last night, dropped touchdown earlier in preseason, I really don't think he is lighting up right now, Parson's put him to shame last night!

I think Gibbs is the type of coach that expects guys to be a little more than one dimensional, ala Thrash, and Jacobs and their special teams play, pass catching ability and with Thrash, his return ability ...

One dimensional he is - I'm not convinced that he's on the bubble though.

I'm sure he is know where close to being cut - but he for sure, raised eyebrows and hurt stock value after those drops! And not just as a WR ...

I just can't wait until next week!!! The reasons are two-fold.

1) I get to party with some good friends from WP.
2) I just have a gut feeling we'll decimate the Bears. People haven't seen all Portis has to offer yet. Running a PURELY vanilla offense, he's been able to rack up yards.

I think we will dominate defensively, and the offense will be adequate, then in a few weeks, the offense will make strides and catch up ... skins 21-13 in a defensively dominated game!

Honestly, I don't think there will be many teams who can contain Portis this year.

Who isn't? 6.0 average in the preseason? What's not to love?

I too think Portis is in for a monster season. The holes he's been running through this preseason are ridiculous. The offensive line is playing with chips on their shoulders.

I was trying to talk this guy into making Portis his fantasy pick over Alexander! The football pundits would kill me for saying that. LOL
