Re: All things off season 2015.
 

So having a gambling problem is synonymous with intelligence? You learn something new everyday on the inter webs.

He's definitely not the first or last player to not like practice or training camp. All I know is he balled out when it was game time.

I'm always a little puzzled when people hate on one of the most productive RBs in team history.

I dont hate Portis but he made a ton...a ton of money for a RB in his career. If his is excuse is gambling then he is a complete and utter idiot.

I couldn't agree more. I remember his first carry as a Redskin -- something like 60 yards for a TD against the Cardinals (I was at FedEx and the place went nuts). He was also not afraid to mix it up -- I think he was the best blocking RB we've ever had. Hardly the stuff of a prima donna. He liked to be the center of attention, to be sure, but he also brought it every Sunday.

I like CP and wish him well and hope he sorts out his financial situation (which sounds pretty bad).

All things offseason..... don't you guys love the fact that the Politically Correct crowd has moved on to the Confederate flag as their object of hate and left our beloved racially slurred team name alone for the momment?

I do!

well, if you don't think it's coming back twice as strong... it's definitely hurt their trademark case.

Agree that Portis was a tremendous blocking back. Portis DELIVERED the blow to the defense. I haven't seen much of that from the RB position since he left.

[quote=DYoungJelly;1114495]Yea. Slipperyness isn't a stat but if it was Wilson would own it. He has the ability to feel pressure and make a busted play a big gain.

He doesn't have to set passing records to have success with that team. He keeps the chains moving which is what he needs to do with Lynch and that defense.[/quote]

Russell Wilson is really good.

PS. I know what the stats are and aren't. Two words seemed better than tons of qualifiers.

Let's have three cheers for Charles!!! One of my favs.

Good for Charles...
THIS dude is a "True" Redskin
Hmmm. I wonder if he could still play?

Who knows what these numbers mean, but it's interesting that Griffin's rankings under pressure is 36th out of 37th among ranked QBs. He apparently gains 1.2 yards with a pass rush, vs. 7.9 without one. Clearly the blocking comes into play here, but that stinks.

Just hoping we're better this year.
