Re: CP broken hand
 

imagine being a running back who likes to run downhill and instead sent to the outside play after play where every defense in the league knows you'll be. here's your result.

[quote=saden1;243537]You know what, I think we should let him sit out the rest of the year. He has been banged up the whole year and once the season is lost there is no point in bringing him back to take some more punishment. Let's see what TJ and Betts can do.[/quote]


put him on IR ,and give the other guys a chance.portis can work on getting healthy next year.i could'nt agree more!

Re: CP broken hand
 

If Portis gets shelved, it could benfit the longevity of his career. What's the point of risking his future on a lost season?

Might as well use Duckett and Betts now while we still have them.

Umm....

That's idiotic. Portis has been a tough and reliable guy until this unfortunate year. Martin and Holmes missed time EVERY YEAR.

No comparison.

Re: CP broken hand
 

Portis is done for the year.

Figure on him being out for [I]at least [/I]4 weeks. We'll definitely be officially eliminated by that point. No use in bringing him back for garbage time. Let's see what Betts and Duckett can do, and maybe we can figure out who stays and who goes next year.

man this is just so utterly tragic on so many levels.

i didn't see one CP run called up the middle, they just kept running him to the outside where the defense was just waiting for him (same with Brunell's passes - and the inevitable pick). i wish Al Saunders broke his arm carrying his 700page playbook. maybe then it'd open to a different fucking page.

I agree......

Their playing time for the duration of the season (depending on their effectiveness) could very well determine which of the two we resign if either.

Re: CP broken hand
 

i kind of hope we just IR him and let him heal up, hes been banged up all year and he needs to get healthy. let there be a battle between duckett and betts, whoever performs the best try to re-sign them

It really makes me wonder what they're going to do about the offense next year. Is Saunders outta here? Or does Gibbs make him incorporate the running plays that Portis likes?

CP was definitely not happy with all the outside runs.

I agree. I'd rather have him 100% next season. As long as they keep him off the field during the preseason, he should come into 2007 100% healthy.

Wow, I can't believe we're already talking about next year.

Re: CP broken hand
 

I don't know why. For some reason it seems when he runs between the tackles, he just runs into someone's back and falls down.

You saw a running play that went between the tackles? You must be thinking about last year.

i shudder to think. Portis better stay the hell HERE. one thing i do know, is that TJ won't be doing that outside crap Saunders is so obsessed with, so hopefully Gibbs will remind Al about the middle of the field....

OR...we keep Betts. yawwwn.

We're definitely not running any right up the gut, but it seems we're running a lot between guard and tackle and just getting stuffed for two to three yard losses.
