[quote=Sheriff Gonna Getcha;477744]Portis essentially said that teams do not respect our passing attack, they stack the box to stop Portis, and backs from other teams with other passing attacks, non-patchwork olines, and other schemes wouldn't do as well as he has in D.C. You've made statements that seem to concur wholeheartedly with Portis' comments.[/quote]

IMO, CP agrees with me.

LOL! He'd actually have to know of your existences and what you said for that to be true. But, for the record, I don't believe Portis was saying anything untrue. Hopefully after this past week, teams will start respecting our passing attack more, which in turn, will open up holes for both Portis and Betts.

Re: Portis calling out B-mitch on the air
 

Local media needs to dump B-Mitch. Everytime I try to listen to him he has nothing to say positive about the Skins. They could win a game and he would find the only negative to point out. I no longer watch or listen to anything that has him on it.

The thing that pisses me off more is the fact that he used to be a Skin and can't find a positive. Dear Mitch....go back to Philli where we sent you packing to since you love them so much. See Ya!

exactly, i had alil bit of a problem with portis' comments regarding the Oline (whom are great, check the rankings) until . . . .

low and behold portis' comments as made known to us were taken out of context and the reporter was the one who started the whole "hypothetically speaking if you were on another team" etc crap.

just another reporter trying to make up something juicy by leading portis down the whole 'hypothetically speaking" road . . . . portis should be mad if people take shots at him when they didnt listen to the whole interview and read his answer in context to the idiotic questions he was being asked.

go skins!!

Re: Portis calling out B-mitch on the air
 

BM calls out CP on the radio. CP says BM should say something to his face, off-air. Then, BM argues CP should do the same, which is invalid, because BM is the one dissing CP on-air to begin with.

BM knocks CP on the radio, and CP is wrong to call the show, and let the world know how he feels? CP doesn't have a radio show, so he calls up the show, and let's everyone who's listening know how he feels. Nothing wrong with that.

Re: Portis calling out B-mitch on the air
 

F*** Brian Mitchell and the John Thompson show. "Bitch Mitchell" is a self-righteous, flip-floppin' clown. I could care less that the guy is second in all time all purpose yards...he acts like he never got tired or winded. The fact is if every redskin played like Clinton Portis noone would beat us. I've seen him LEVEL guys like Shawne Merriman and Mathias Kiwanuka. As far as I'm concerned If your line is playing like a bunch of potato sacks, call them out!! (See Peyton Manning.) His comments last week clearly inspired these guys. However I am under the impression that it was taken out of context and he was more or less referring to our offensive scheme in recent years as opposed to the play of his teammates.

Im with you, Mitch the bitch has come after portis since he landed in washington..i don tknow if its jealousy, or if it is residual resentment of when we cut him, who knows? The point is i think portis is tired of running into 8 in the box time after time and the way he is utilized. I dare ANYBODY to sad that he doesnt play with his heart week and week out. That he more so that anyone else gives 110% on the field. Mitch the bitch needs to chill

Re: Portis calling out B-mitch on the air
 

To be honest I can't stand the Thompson show. The coach always sounds like he's on anti-depressants and talks slow. B Mitch has nothing nice to say about the Skins. The two times I did listen he seemed to act like he never played the game. Questions about the team not getting something done when honestly because he was a player I would expect him to be able to answer why they didn't. For the life of me I can't figure out why he's on the show? The coach brings more to the table about the Skins then B Mitch does and the coach was a basketball coach. Now why is that?

I know that if you all would stop listening to the show it's ratings would go down and it will get pulled like Riggo did who's show I liked better then the Thompson show. Why on earth pull Riggo for this shit? Pardon me.

[quote=skinsfan69;477782]I get how CP is. And I understand that it was taken a little out of context, and I think BMitch runs his mouth too much.

Keep that crap in house.[/quote]

I think it was a good thing. You have to call people out so that they will step up. And I think he was taking Zorn's lead. A spade is a spade.. so say so. I have no problem with what he said.

Re: Portis calling out B-mitch on the air
 

You know, if Portis really wanted to get to B-Mitch he could ask him if he knows so damn much, and he was so good, why did'nt he start at running back, instead of just filling in and returning punts. I think all Portis wants him to do is stop talking crap about him when he does'nt know all the facts. BM acts like the more he knows you, the more he's going to get on you , like some kind of tough love. The problem is, he's not CP's coach, and I for one could'nt care less what he thinks of CP. He acts like when he puts down the team he's "just being honest". Well you can say some good things about the team that are just as honest. Personally I'm just tired of hearing his negativity all the time. I don't think CP cares what BM thinks either. He's just afraid that we might believe him.

I think you are confused about what BM's job is. His job is to comment on the good and bad he sees from the Skins and its players. He says good things about CP and bad things about CP's play but CP chooses to get stuck on the bad. I dont have a problem with CP asking BM what's going on but he wouldnt shut up for a minute to let BM answer. It sure did make for entertaining radio.

If anyone called people out it was CP calling out his line and throwing them under the bus. Luckily for everyone CP's lineman have enough class to know when to keep their mouth shut.

His job is to give his opinion. So that means, even if his opinion is insulting, he's free of all criticism? If that's his stance then he's a pussy. "Hey, don't get mad at me for dissing you, it's my job." LOL.

You act like CP has no right to defend himself.

Re: Portis calling out B-mitch on the air
 

The only reason this matters to me is that Portis' off-the-field antics in the media are starting to become a weekly deal. Last week, he made comments thats he shouldn't have about the offense around him, and now he's chewing out Brian Mitchell on live radio.

Both of those events are no big deal independent of one another, but it's starting to add up for him. I think he would be wise to stay out of the media next week.

I agree Tripp. Its a recurring pattern with CP and thats the issue. Also in an interview I heard yesterday he still wouldnt let the whole B Mitch thing go. It was amazing how once again he droned on about this stuff. maybe he's under some kind of external stress thats making him act this way but at some point somebody in the Skins organization is going to have to pull him aside and tell him to cool it.

B-Mitch does tell it lke it is and unfortunately a lot of what has happened recently isnt good. B-Mitch is negative when he needs to be and positive when he needs to be. Unfortunately CP and a lot of fans only want to focus on B-Mitch being negative because I think in some strange way they think it shifts blame off those really at fault, the players and coaches and on to the media.

If you think this is blown up too much, just think about what media & fans would be saying about CP and his comments had he played bad and the Skins lost to NO. It would be totally out of control. He's making the spotlight on him even stronger with all his talking, if he plays bad or the Skins lose this week the media and fans will be on him even more. This thing isnt over yet and I get the feeling when it does end it willl be ugly.

Football ain't a one player sport...football takes 10 other men ready to bust some heads for you to dance in the endzone...Portis is a beast . but just imagine if he made the rest around him better...thats what the great players does!!! He has the ability to do this, but just hasn't done it...and talking s**t ain't getting it done. Cause if it did then we would be 5 time champs.

Imagine if Portis was the first in the weight room and on the practice field then maybe these rookies we drafted would of been ashamed to arrive to camp out of shape and not ready...if there were they would be ashamed to do that and practice harder and even take extra time to get the playbook down. The coach can only do so much...time for the players to demand more than talk. If you want to talk then do it to the o-line in practice and in the locker room. I am tired of the Chad Johnson bulls**t look how far team wise that has gotten him. Yeah he sells jerseys and all but thats all...bottom line!!!

I understand that football isn't a one-man sport. However, when you said the following, you made it sound like Portis deserves criticism, because he, "Has not won anything here." A player doesn't "win" anything, except personal/franchise records -- which CP has done.

dmv I agree about Riggo. Even as a former NFL great it seemed like he wasnt too knowledgable about the game today. I even wish they would replace him on the Redskins Report on NBC. But I don't want an "analyst" or atleast in the traditional sense. I want someone who is football smart and has a sense of humor. My favorite moments on the Riggins show was when he, Gary and Kevin all bagged on each other. The moustache growing thing was hilarious!

Re: Portis calling out B-mitch on the air
 

I think people are simply reading way to much into CP's statement. I know on the face value it sounds horrible, but.....we all know CP says whats on his chest and does not hold back. He's an open book. Here he is one day thinking out loud "hey, I have wondered how I would do on another team that seems to always do well with the run blocking and run plays." I don't blame him I would wonder the same thing. Think about it. He did well in Denver due to the zone cut blocking. Throughout his tenure here I bet he has lobbied to Gibbs about this very fact. Gibbs liked man-to-man blocking. Now he has a new coach and has probably mentioned this very fact to Zorn and the coach listened. Except he is trying to mix both blocking styles when it fits them best.

I think what we heard was a CP that opened his heart and mouth and spoke allowed and more then likely did not mean to diss his offensive line. Then you have a simple minded commentator who is looking to stir something up. BM is always critisizing the Redskins. I have yet to hear him say anything nice about the Skins. BM stated his job is media and he is supposed to speak about good things and bad. Well BM when are you going to talk about the good things?

Hey BM...nice that you can come up with all this nice advice but since when do you know anything about being a RB? You were a one dimentional player. You were a kick returner. Speak about Rock all you want but shut up about the rest of the team. You never were the featured back and when you had the oppurtunity to be the featured back the team decided you were not good enough for that and you ran to Philli where when given the chance they realized you are not featured back material. Yet again you were a KR.

I to am tired of all the radio personalities that are commenting on everything else but football and am getting tired of the commentators talking negatively about the Skins when it's Redskins radio. I naturally assumed that in other markets ie: Texas they talk about Dallas, Philli they talk about the Eagles etc. So why do we have people talking negatively about the Skins or not talking about the Skins at all. I'm not saying Riggo was the best radio personality but he was a lot better then the Thompson show. Thompson knows nothing about football and BM..well..simply loves to hear himself talk even if it is all BS.

I'm not arguing with you for the most part... I agree with a lot of your post. I do think that CPs comments were made out of poor judgment. I understand where he's coming from but sometimes you should put your ego aside when answering questions and put your teammates on your shoulders. He says he wants to be a team leader, and that is the farthest thing from acting like it. I don't mind the not wanting to play in preseason and pulling himself out when winded (to some extent) but I was less than thrilled about his comments... even though I completely understood where he was coming from...
