Re: Mortensen on ESPN radio
 

sorry, what I mean is past 100% in the fact that he has been there for a little while. He wont be there until atleast week 1.

Re: Mortensen on ESPN radio
 

Is he going to have to wear one of those goofy looking shoulder braces?

My main concern at this point is that he may be hesitant to take on a hit or throw a stiff arm with the left. That could mean less break aways, and it could hurt him when it comes to picking up the blitz.

Re: Mortensen on ESPN radio
 

there is absolutley no reason for portis to play at all again in the preseason. i wouldnt play betts a whole lot either. lets see some of the no names and see if any can contribute on special teams

Re: Mortensen on ESPN radio
 

I agree...no more portis until the regular season when he starts piling up the yards. One thing that will be interesting is to see Betts in the offense. Now he's no Portis, but Saunders was looking to get him more involved and it will be interesting to see if he fits well.

Aside to Matty: Love the new white background...loads so much faster here at work for me...plus it looks less like Im on a Skins fansite!

yeah let Nemo Run....

Re: Mortensen on ESPN radio
 

Got an idea... can you do different profiles for different backgrounds? Like one that doesn't even have the banner so it's VERY DL at work?

Re: Mortensen on ESPN radio
 

[QUOTE=Mattyk72;203452]They'll just rehab the hell out of him the next 3 weeks and rest him. I don't think his status for week 1 will be in doubt.

While we're at it I wouldn't let Betts see much meaningless action either.[/QUOTE]

Yep, keep both of them out. We know what Betts and Portis can do. Lumsden, Broughton and Cartwright can carry us through the preseason.

By the way, would Manuel White be more of a blocking/catching fullback in this offense or will he get about the same number of carries as a tailback would?

Re: Mortensen on ESPN radio
 

I liked that one catch he had. Made a nice move.

Re: Mortensen on ESPN radio
 

I think white played decent at FB and caught well

Re: Mortensen on ESPN radio
 

i think the only way you get in shape for the regular season is by playing some in the preseason!i do'nt portis will play anymore this preseason,but every player needs to play some in the preseason,no matter who it is!

Re: Mortensen on ESPN radio
 

Mort also reported that Taylor Jacobs dislocated an ovary while trying to to paint his toe nails

Re: Mortensen on ESPN radio
 

Ouch that sounds painful. I hope he does not miss ceramics class!

Excellent point. Much easier to hide the fact that I am goofing around instead of actually earning my paycheck.:goodjob:
