Was I the only one who noticed that the running game IMPROVED without Portis and everyone said the effort at the RB position was better?
Meanwhile, JC posted some pretty solid numbers without any real help from RB, OL, and WR.

Portis w/ a ring is HOF.
I’m sure he’ll respond, given the opportunity. Look what he did for the last coarch until that guy threw him under the bus.
How soon you all forget the guts & determination CPo gave to this squad.
Sure he’s an idiot on the mic. It doesn’t make him a bad football player. This team did.

Shanahan will be great for the Redskins. I hope he’ll keep Portis. Portis has a lot left in the tank!

Clinton was Poison in Denver, and the Mastermind… (tongue in cheek) will dump him quickly.
The lockeroom will be thankful that Clinton ‘Head Case’ Portis is GONE.
Oakland will pick him up… MARK MY WORDS

Jason Campbell is a loser and a backup QB at best. Get rid of him and start anew. Portis is old and banged up. Why stay with what got you to 4-11. And please don’t say it was all Zorn’s fault. Campbell had a lot to do with that record

Just let Snyder make one last decision……..let that be Shanny and Marshall reunited…..give us some draft picks…then Snyder can step aside…surely he has one decision left in him!

yeah and watch Portis suck up just like he did to Gibbs.
Even if he hangs around, he’s still likely to suck on the “concussion” titty some more…
Punkass.
Maybe we’ll get some more Sheriff Nawbucks clips.
HAIL!

I always felt Jason Campbell handled himself well conosidering the turmoil in D.C. and with the ‘Skins in general

I like Jason Campbell and think he can be a quality QB for this team. I feel very hopeful that better days are ahead.

Portis is Bobby Humphrey with a larger bank account and even worse “gangsta” attitude. Ho f-yourself, pal. Its over.

And as for Campbell, both Allen and Shanahan have praised his character and both said they don’t think he’s reached his full potential yet. Sounds like a guy they think they’d like to work with.
I’ve been critical of Campbell this year myself, but I admit I’d like to see him have a chance to play behind a real O line in an offense that’s suited to his skill set.

The key to this will be Snyder’s reaction when Portis complains to him about OTA’s and the off-season workout regimen. Since the honeymoon is still on, Portis will likely get the same treatment Arrington got when Williams took over the defense under Gibbs. Clinton who?

By: SkinsFanInNebraska

SkinsFanInNebraska — Wed, 06 Jan 2010 16:10:59 +0000

No, the Skins won’t get much value for Portis — if they could even trade him at all. But, just sending him away with his walking papers would be a great improvement to the team.

Shanahan already disposed of Portis once (in Denver), and it looks like its going to happen a second time. The difference is he’s not going to get a Champ Bailey-esque player this go-around.

Damn straight work habits are key. CP must be shakin’ in his boots right about now. Honeymoon is over CP…better bust your behind or you’ll be on the curb real soon.

Coach Janky-Spanky will tell Shanahan how it will be in the off-season, not the other way around…

Bravo, Mr. Shanahan. Good luck with portis and the other overpaid acquisition who doesn’t like the TEAM concept. I think all Redskins fans are ready to see better.

I think whether Campbell “gets another year” will depend as much on other QB needy teams in the league as what the Skins think of him. As a restricted free agent coming off his best year statistically, you don’t think some team will offer him a multi-year deal? Especially if they know the Skins may not want to go more than one year? I know there is alot of uncertainty coming in 2011, but there will still be multi-year deals be given out, or am I missing something?

shany traded away portis cause he knew the kid was a prima donna without the talent. my aunt could’ve ran for 1000 yds behind denvers line back then and he knew it so he took bailey.
portis is an average running back in the nfl if there ever was one.

This makes me incredibly happy as a Redskins fan. FINALLY a coach that freaking says what he means and is not afraid to say it to grown ass men…and the media.
I’m not expecting miracles, but I’m happy about Shanahan being our coach.
