What's Going on with Portis? (Updated)
Not sure what's going on with Clinton Portis, who seemed to have a heated exchange with Jim Zorn. Maybe he was upset that we've seen a lot of Shaun Alexander already. Portis has the hip and other ailments, and players and coaches have been going over to him on the bench. Still, Portis went in on the next series.
Whatever was going on with Portis, the team said it was not medical. Players continued to visit him on the sideline appeared to be consoling or encouraging him

Very odd and we may not get the details until after the game

He was prolly telling Zorn to stop messing around with that right side and plow the left

So far, this drive is starting to look a bit more agressive and Redskins ball.

Nothing wrong w/ CP in the 1st series. Zorn runs Alexander waaay too early, yells at CP on the sidelines and he loses his stride.

WASHINGTON UP 6-0 AT THE HALF
Penalties that was till 17 sec. left and Detroit finally got called for one. They had to call one, could have been an untied shoe lace.
Skins looked scatter shot. Long throws and somewhat ineffective on the run (after the first drive). Not quite the well oiled west coast machine. Portis showing some fight, drive. Hope it carries over to the field.
Posted by: chavez66 | October 26, 2008 2:38 PM | Report abuse
Zorn needs to kick some butt, and he needs to motivate some people.
Personally, I wouldn't start with Portis.

Dumbest STFU "Stat" this Season Alert:
Play-by play announcer said right before his 2nd attempt: "Of Suisham's four FG misses, 3/4 have missed to the left"...
and then again right before his 3rd attempt, after missing the 2nd FG to the right, the announcer said, "once again, we would like to remind everyone that of Suisham's 5 FG misses, 3 have missed to the left."
WTF kinda "stat" is that...I guess FOX thinks its possible to divide 5 evenly by 2?!!!
