Portis Interview on Fox

I think it's known that CP is not one of the hardest working guys on the team. He saves it for game day. I would say most NFL teams have guys like CP. Problem here is when you start putting the ball on the ground and you lose then everything gets brought up.

Exactly. If CP was peforming well then I would careless what he does in practice but he is not helping the team at all right now.

Maybe it should be noticed??
Many people thought Spurrier's negative remarks about coach's working 100 hours a week kind of cool. All went well with his light work schedule, and his reported golf days during the season, until we sucked.
If you need more work (and maybe the way Portis carries the ball needs work), maybe you should put in the time.
I love CP, and the guy is a total football man. I think he will get it done. This (as has been pointed out) may not be the best time to brag about short work days.
Judgement call on his part, and his judgement on such "media" matters, has not been all that good.

I recall when Tiki Barber used to fumble the ball a lot. He started working on that problem wit the coaches putting in more time to learn how to carry the ball differently. It paid off because his fumbles went down.

Don't get me wrong I am not a Tiki Barber fan but it is a good example of what Portis needs to do.
