Preseason may not be important for someone of Portis' stature, but it's certainly important for the Mike Espys of the world. Without preseason, is there Brian Mitchell?

I'm not sure the games is as big a deal as all the OTAs, and minicamps, and two-a-days (though the Redskins hardly did any). At least that's what I heard Mark Schlereth say.
