Portis to play Saturday - he doesn't seem too happy about it

[Lady Brave]

There's a saying in the acting community that you will perform as well as you rehearse.

I seem to remember Portis not getting into his stride until several games into the season. I've never been a fan of Portis' pre-season attitude. Frankly, I think he needs the work.

Your comparing acting to football..lol

I guess when they start the game you would be like go out there and break a leg?

Rehearsal is called practice.

Lady Brave doesn't need anyone to defend her, she's pretty good at it herself but I don't think she was comparing the two. She was pointing out that the quote is relevant to football. Many coaches think the same way.

I was just be sarcastic. Furthermore. It may take a while for him to get up to game speed but not long. That is better than him being out for a year because of some freak injury. Him playing a couple of snaps is fine. But he is a veteran so he should be ok.

Whether they are hit in practice or not. Is not a issue. He has been in the NFL for years. I am sure that he's capable of taking a hit.

I wont even say freak injuries. Lets say injuries. Injuries can occur in preseason which are games that dont count. so why have a greater probablilty of injury. They can happen walking down the street. But we are talking about practice which is more precautious than preseason games when the opponent doesn't care if he hurts you or not. You can slip on a wet spot on a wet floor and twist your ankle. The point is.. These games don't count so why risk it. Let him run the ball a few times. But limit it. There are players that are lost for the year on preseason games. Would you rather one of our star players get hurt in a preseason game? I know we have Betts. But are you willing to take that risk...or you just dont think CP is that valuable?

if your gonna hold prtis out of the game for fear of an injury, then every starter should be held out. clinton is important but so is campbell, the WRs, our TEs and the O-line.
