Portis Out To Prove Redskins Wrong

[Daseal]

Portis ran hard for the skins. He gave us everything he had left in the tank. Gibbs destroyed him by working him so hard. He went from a quick 1 cut slasher in Denver to a bigger back for us. Watching him pick up blitzes was a pleasure.

However, he had gotten to a point where he typically tackled himself on most plays by tripping over his own feet. He was starting to get slower and less reliable. I hope he finds a home somewhere, he'd be a great 3rd down back for someone.

I agree with everything you said.

He was (and may still be) as good in pass protection as any RB I've seen. He can also catch the ball and he's plenty tough enough to pick up short yardage. Yes, he could be a fine 3rd down back on the right team - and NE might be the right team for him.

If he were to earn a ring in NE, I'd be happy for him. He deserves it.
