Brian Mitchell Unplugged

[mcarey032]

While Mitchell was never as good at being a RB than Portis is now, he certainly understands at what it means to be a great football player. He has won a Super Bowl in this league and was on a team that was considered a top 20 Super Bowl team. He has HOF stats, why would his criticism seem wrong? When he says that you have to practice in this league to be sharp and consistent, he is dead on. A lot of people accused Mitchell of being a "Hater". That is just crazy. You always have to work to be great. The Redskins in the 80s and early 90s were great because they outworked their opponents. Our teams were not as talented as some of their opponents, but they worked their tails off and that is why they won. The current teams want their money up front and they claim that they are working hard, but I don't know about that. Certainly the results haven't bore that out. Mitchell speaks from experience of being a winner. Something that most of these players on the current team know nothing about.


Congrats to Brian Mitchell. I always liked his attitude and I am glad that he is going into the Ring of Fame. It is well deserved. He is a true Redskin who lives in this area and cares about this team. I don't know how many players on this current team will retire here after football or will care one bit about this organization when they leave. Hail to Brian Mitchell.
