A QB is way more important than a RB or WR.

No way will CP be the dynamic back he was last year because he's not 100%. He'll be fine and help but I'm not expecting to see the CP of last year this year.

In most cases, yes, but there are exceptions. Portis is one of them. Rivers would look like ass without Tomlinson. Eli Manning would not be nearly as good without Tiki behind him. Alexander makes the Seahawks better, and so on.

I'll take a Portis at less than 100% over Betts at 100% any day.

We're also missing Shawn Springs

Re: Houston, you have a problem.

Portis or no Portis. Spring or no Springs it starts in the trenches IMO. The offensive line failed to create holes for the running backs. I do understand that with Portis in the game he may have been able to make something out of nothing but he isn't a miracle worker either. Ladel Betts, as much of a bum as he is he should have had a fighting chance. Brunel has about as much time as it takes for me to say Oh Shit to throw the ball 75% of the time. I cannot comprehend why there is not one running back besides Clinton who can pick up a blitz. The defensive line...if you saw the Cowboy game then I don't think I need to say much more.

i am boosted that Portis is playing this week because he should be able to see those tiny creases and hit them at the right time but the lines MUST step up.

HAIL

Re: Houston, you have a problem.

I definitely agree about the O-line needing to step up. That's the one unit I'm probably the most disappointed in so far. They're better than what they've shown so far, alot better.

Re: Houston, you have a problem.

I will be at this game in Houston...I sure hope CP can just light it up and open up some things for this offense.

Re: Houston, you have a problem.

Why would we potentially swap a 1st round pick with Denver and not really use the guy??? Portis should get about 60 % of the carries then let Duckett just pound it right down their throats!!! Maybe give betts a few carries for good measure :-)....I really think we need to use this Horse of a man (Duckett)right up the gut!!!

Re: Houston, you have a problem.

I see that the redskins are not really capable of beating anyone without Mr. Portis running the ball. I had predicted a banner year for them, but now I think they stumble too much and better win this week or risk becoming bogged down in the squabbles and finger pointing will start. What an unexpected mess they are in

A Gibb's coached football team NEVER finger points regardless of how bad it gets. That is one thing you can count on!

Re: Houston, you have a problem.

Personally, I think we need to drop Betts, he hasn't done anything really over the past two years (excluding the KO runback in Tampa Bay in 05). He looked horrible both weeks Portis was out. TJ Duckett hasn't looked much better but I think that he will once he backs up Portis. The Finese/Power should be an extremely potent running game.

Re: Houston, you have a problem.

Its the little things that portis does that makes him such an asset to our team. I watched inside the nfl on hbo and on the two highlights they showed off brunnell being sacked was greg ellis running through a ladell betts block and greg ware running through a tj duckett block. If there is one thing you can count on is the blocking of portis but if the shoulder isnt 100% how good will his blocks actually be? thats the key question on portis is you ask me right now.

Re: Houston, you have a problem.

Brett Favre = HAS BEEN. He should have retired last year. Great qb in his day. but his day is long gone.
