Is Duckett's presence going to piss off CP??

no way portis ever gets traded. released maybe, but not traded. and welcome charlie

Let me add my 2 cents. We all know Portis wanted help in the backfield. I mean real help. Not a RB that stays injured more than he does. Portis tried to convince Edgerin James to sign with us, but EJ wasn't ready to share the spotlight. Portis is secure with his role as a leader on this team. That's why we have added so many guys from the "U" ie. Santana Moss, Sean Taylor,
Rocky Mcintosh and Mike Rymph. Portis definitley has the coaches attention.

T.J. Duckett is what we have needed since the loss of Stephen Davis. Can you imagine what Coach Gibbs would have done with a healthy Stephen Davis? Down hill runners fit Saunders and Gibb's system perfectly. That's why Larry Johnson was so successful in KC last year.

Absolutely not. I think someone is suggesting Portis's run with the Redskins will end with a trade. Let's say 2020.

i dunno, someone at EA on the 360 team is totally ignorant of the Redskins because they can't play at home in whites at all, only in darks. even if you pick away. cowboys sure play in white at home tho...

and go to the relocation thing and you'll see the redskins can move from washington DC to washington DC (the one they start in has a MUCH lower population AND a MUCH lower average income than the one they can move to). if you move, you'll no longer get fedex field (which makes 8$mill a game, whereas the best custom only makes about $7mill) and you can get the special logos for the 70th anni jerseys or the custom Burg/gold sock stripes.

fruity.

that was a joke. he new there was no way the money could have worked. he wasn't happy tj came here, as was seen in his first reactions, so thinking edge would come in and take half the snaps without him being upset probably isn't reality. talk is cheap.

Picking up players from the U has more to do with their talent than portis's leadership skills. Rumph and Moss were simply the offers on the table, McIntosh was the last impact OLB left when it was time to pick. Taylor was just a great pick. Portis's vote of confidence doesn't hurt, but i doubt the entire FO staff makes financial and business decisions based on one biased player's views (who, by the way, doesn't need to worry about the money, cap, or player concerns).

wondering what gibbs could have/would have done with a healthy (and let's not forget, fumble prone) davis is a moot point, since he had exactly ONE good year after leaving (and he wanted some insane $10mill a year to stay).
