Gotta agree with you on this one bro, I like what I seen from him.

CP would have fell down and taken a knee if he was making that run against the Eagles. He's not the same speedster he was in 2005. Depreciation has set in for Clinton Portis.

Agree 100%. Portis is not the same guy from yesteryear that people remember. He's had piles of injuries that have left him worn out, fragile, and jaded to the game, to the point where he voluntarily slides down or takes a knee so that he doesnt have to take the hit.

He may only be 29, but Portis is way past his prime due to the serious amount of injuries he's had to endure, and the fact that Joe Gibbs basically ran him into the ground.

He is a definate asset to pass protection blocking. That is is only value for this team in 2010. His speed is gone, he is not an every down back anymore, and now, he is injury prone.

I would think if they want to keep him healthy for the remainder of the season, he takes a minimal role, and is used situationally.

We would be smart to give him limited carries for a while.

Put the load on Williams and ATV and just have Portis Block on 3rd downs.

Maybe give him a couple on short yardage situations,but that's it.

We will need him down this stretch.

SolidSnake84 · 11-21-2010, 05:42 PM

Now that the game is over, was anyone surprised that Portis was injured AGAIN?? I mean seriously, CP. Nothing but respect to you dude but it's over. I appreciate the effort in trying to come back, we all do, but i think the writing is on the wall here in DC. Liked what i saw from Williams today..

The kid is made of glass FFS.
He wont be on the roster next year.

SirClintonPortis · 11-21-2010, 07:01 PM

It was too soon for him to come back. Seriously, the muscle was torn from the freaking bone.

Hopefully it's nothing major. CP was really playing well today.

For the few plays he was in he did look good. I think that was mostly because he was rested. CP is even more injury prone now than he was before, this has to be has last round-up with the Skins.

Definitely looked good...we missed his field presence and he ran very well.

But news looks bad:

i dont see how, but any thing he does would be a bonus IMO

Good news on CP. Hard to question the guy this year, he could easily coast and sit back and collect his guaranteed $$ but he's not.

He got my respect! These injuries have got to be so frustrating for him. You can tell by the way he ran last week, he still loves the game and can still bring it.

There is no doubt, we are a better team when he is on the field. It would be nice to see him healthy.

Isnt it funny the "Shanny effect" has had on CP...he not saying anything stupid, giving 110%, participated in preseason, mentor to the younger players....its really been a 180.
