In the interview he jokes about how his contract does not allow him to work overtime on the practice field.

CP practiced two days in a row for the first time since last year just recently. He is playing terrible and needs to put in some more work on his game.

Maybe because I am in the local area I hear more of the stories about how Portis does not work hard on the practice field. I am just getting tired of hearing about it while his playing sucks.

Do you really think his "terrible play" is attributed to him not practicing 2 days in a row until recently or perhaps 2/5 of the starting offensive line being injured and another 2/5 have all of 8 weeks next to each other?

If Betts were tearing it up behind the same offensive line with the same play calling I would see it a little bit more, but our running game is piss-poor as a whole, I don't get why Portis draws so much of your venom.

Not venom - just constructive critisim. I don't see a need to apologize or defend Clinton if he decides to talk trash and not produce on the the field on game day.

I am glad most people are not overreacting. Portis needs to just needs to focus. He has a decent amount of TDs this year, last couple games these fumbles have hurt us.

I think his production is also worst because of our Oline.

True the offensive line is more of a worry than CP. I just hope his heart is in it. John Riggins asked the question today on his radio show, "Is CP done? Has he seen his best days already?" I think because CP does go hard in games his running lifespan may be shorter than others.

Winning cures everything.

I wonder if the fact that the RT and RG are backups has anything to do with the decline in CLinton's #'s? Betts isn't exactly getting it done either. Everybody knows Wade can't run block. Give Clinton a complete, healthy O-Line and see what he does.

Edit: NM. I should learn to read the entire thread b4 I post lol. Somebody already posted exactly what I said.
