Re: Portis on 980

In a season full of unnamed sources I'm glad to see someone sticking their neck out and speaking their mind. Portis is a leader on this team, if he says things are wrong then I'm going to listen.

Hopefully getting things out in the open will allow these issues to be dealt with accordingly. These guys who don't speak out to the coaches or teammates but then rat to the media need to be dumped and fast.

Atleast someone gets what I am trying to say...

I agree. I appreciate Portis for doing what he did. He's a true leader who shows that he really cares.

Now that I think about it.....I'd rather dump Lloyd and keep Arch. At least Arch hasn't alienated his teammates.

Archuleta is the probable source for that ESPN article though... that's not going to be forgotten anytime soon.

I wouldn't be surprised if we find a way to dump them both.

Didn't someone recently outline that possibility and the cap ramifications?

Sounds like something Schneed might have done.

If they could work something out similar to what they did w/ Lavar, then its definitely a possiblility.

Arch is not looked well upon by his teammates. They basically don't think he can play and resent the money he is getting. That comes straight from the mouth of a Redskin who said it after shaking his head and rolling his eyes. They also all think it was Arch who blabbed to Friend.

Which Redskin was this?

CP is not a leader at all. He's a derss up, party guy when they are winning and a whiner when losing. To me this is the whiner side coming out because things didnt go his way this year.

Personally I'd love to see CP traded for picks.

Your view doesn't surprise me at all. LOL.

I totally disagree. I think CP is our leader because he has the balls to step up and say something is wrong. Instead of these "anonymous" sources. At least he stepped up and put his name out there. Not only that but he gives 110% on the field. He's our best blocking back and our most reliable back (he doesn't fumble like Betts).

He's not whining, he's letting everyone know that whats going bothers him and he feels like he needs to say something.

The people who are coming out saying things as an anonymous source are the whiners IMO.

Did you actually listen to the interview? He wasn't whining at all, he was giving a state of the team interview.. He said time and time again, 'I do what they tell me to do'. He's lost more than he's won since he's been here and has been a standup guy the entire time. I don't get people who call him a whiner.

I'm guessing not. It didn't sound like whining, it sounded like somebody frustrated with a bunch of BS issues keeping this team from reaching its potential.
