Clinton Portis Talks Sanchez in Interview with NFL Live crew

Trey Wingo asked Clinton Portis about the prospect of the Redskins drafting Mark Sanchez and what that would mean to Jason Campbell and to players like him.
Essentially, Clinton said (somewhat to my surprise) that the game is about competition. In a very measured and diplomatic style, Portis said that if the Redskins drafted Mark Sanchez, Jason would have to compete for his job and he would fully expect Jason to win that competition. He went on to say that sometime here the Skins were going to draft a running back high and he would have to compete for his job. I found his demeanor to be on the same level as JC's throughout this whole saga.
I guess I was half expecting to hear Clinton say something to the effect of, "We have bigger needs than QB." And to be fair, he kind of did. They asked Clinton if he thought Campbell could be an elite quarterback in the NFL, to which he responded,
"Yeah, I think he can be an elite quarterback. He has the tools, and ability." Portis laid it out though as he added that it was unfair and unreasonable to point the finger squarely at Jason, since offensive line issues and wide receiver problems have dogged our offense. I think his exact quote was, "I bet you couldn't name any of our starting wide receivers the last five years except for Santana."
The NFL Live crew laughed, but then they unanimously agreed. I found it refreshing and somewhat of a stress reliever that Clinton handled the Sanchez topic so calmly. His lack of any signs of irritation regarding it gave me at least some pause on this issue.
It's true. Competition brings out the best and sometimes worst in people. As the betting men we are, if we had to wager what the effect would be on JC, wouldn't we have to take the upside here? Let's lay out a few facts:
- As opposed to the little whiny bitch Jay Cutler, Jason Campbell has done nothing but handle his business with class and professionalism in light of his team's interest in another QB
- As opposed to the little whiny bitch Jay Cutler, Jason Campbell has repeatedly responded to the team's interest in dealing him by saying his job was work hard, get better and lead whatever team he plays on
- In the 3 years Jason Campbell has registered starts, his completion percentage, quarterback rating, touchdowns and yards have increased each year.
After seeing this interview, I came away with the following:
- Players (specifically CP) remain behind JC
- The competition CP speaks of is the reality of the NFL
- CP and Snyder are boys, so his handling of the topic makes me at least a little more inclined than I was previously that the Sanchez possibility has some SERIOUS legs
In just a few short days, we have beaten the Sanchez thing up, but there is one thing I have held back due to my passionate opposition to this selection. If we do get Sanchez, and we do end up with JC and Sanchez on the roster together, the franchise would have what could be a good problem. I would try and sign JC right away to a moderate extension...nothing over the top (nothing you couldn't trade). Then in two years, you make a decision on one of them and trade the other for draft picks. Wait a second...trading a player for draft picks you say? Yes Redskins fans...this is actually possible, and under the rules of this league, it is actually allowed.
P.S. Did I mention that Jay Cutler is whiny bitch?

Ugh
It doesn’t matter if we give up two 1st round picks for Tom Brady, with the OLine in the state it is now, what is Sanchez OR Jc going to do?
Not only that, getting Sanchez means we use multiple picks for a player that will most likely not start his first year. That would make for FOUR consecutive top-round picks that do not see action. No wonder the Skins are 8-8..the perfect prediction for next year too.

Brady
Cassel was sacked 47 times last year and Brady only 21 times in 2007 with the same OL (26 sacks in 2006). Sometimes sacks are on the QB and a stud QB can overcome poor OL play. Brady would be able produce with our OL in it’s current state. I’m sure that Cassel took too long to read the coverage and had to take some sacks because of it…..where Brady could read the D quicker and throw the ball away if needed or audible out of a bad play. I have not seen JC throw the ball away from within the pocket very many times….maybe never. He does throw it away when he is out of the pocket sometimes…but only after taking a second to plant his feet. I’m not for adding Sanchez and would rather see JC given one more year at least. But I would like to see a few of the following things out of JC and the coaching staff this year; more audibles at the line, go shotgun once in a while, go no huddle more or faster paced play calling, throw the ball away more, shorten JC’s release, and release the ball prior to the receiver making his cut. If JC/coaches improve in these areas, then we will def see a lot less sacks this year with our current line.

Great comment.
These key points you outlined don’t show up on the stat sheet but the game film doesn’t lie. That’s why Snyderrato’s patience is wearing thin. But, Zorn thinks he can coach it out of Campbell. I hope he’s right and that Snyderrato gives them this final year to prove it.
There are a some QBs (Brady, Manning, Brees, Palmer, McNabb, Cutler, Rivers, etc.) who have those intangibles and who would be able to come in and win with our OL and receiving corps.

Im against us adding Sanchez. If we do somehow draft Sanchez I think Campbell then would demand a trade.
The Skins try to trade for Cutler. Ok, no harm done. The coaching staff and front office sitdown with Campbell and tell him hes their guy. Then they try to sign Leftwich the next day. I know Leftwich wasnt going to replace Campbell but it was terrible timing. Now the Skins want to trade up to get Sanchez?
I dont see Campbell staying with the Skins if he gets backstabbed by Snyder and the front office on draft day after the meeting they had after the Cutler drama.

Its possible. Cutler was put on the block March 31st and Leftwich worked out for the Skins April 3rd. I just think the Skins should of pushed it back a couple days. It was real terrible timing imo.

i agree...
I don’t think you should F’ with the “brains” of the offense… you need the QB focused and confident in order to succeed (much like MLB pitchers- one mental lapse and they can ruin their career- and NFL QBs have a hell of a lot more on their shoulders than MLB pitchers).

OL-->& Other things
The Offensive line:
1. Upgraded with a 20 something solid Guard.
2. Other Guard, playing with an injury
3. Two Right Tackles who want the job, and are competing against each other.
QB:
Campbell is the starting QB, unless he’s traded whoever comes in will need to earn the job. Sanchez is not that good or experienced to take it from him the first year.
WHAT ABOUT COLT? Ok, so everyone’s concerned about Campbell but how does this effect Colt?
As the third QB, I would expect him to compete for the #2 spot and I would think he believes he can be a starting QB, possibly provided an opportunity after this year when Campbell is not resigned. Unless Colt has decided like Collins he’ll be a career backup.
On Campbell, he went through the same thing at College. His senior year alumni were demanding the team play the younger QBs and bench Campbell because he was not the leader. The way he handled that pressure resulted in an undefeated season…He will hold no hard feeling and will be the first one in line to take the big payday Snyder offers if the Redskins have a succesful year, another Failure then he will be looking for work, and the Redskins can hold him for next to nothing for 2 years if needed…See uncapped CBA.

Do What you Gotta do to get that 4th overall pick
We need an outside linebacker and a pass rushing defensive end and a starting right tackle that can eventually be moved to the left side after Samuels peaks whenever that is????
If we can have a chance on getting Aaron Curry, “RAK”, or Eugene Monroe $$$$$$$Money in the Friggin’ BBAANNKK………

Agreed...
But drafting a OLB or OL doesn’t sell truck-loads of jerseys…can you imagine trading up to #4 if Curry was on the board and Cerrato took Sanchez? I can’t see that happening. The thing we haven’t heard is how big Zorn’s hard-on for Sanchez is…I suspect high since he is a West coast offense player and we’ve worked him out 2x already.

You are joking right? The defense should be top five even without Curry. Why should the Skins trade a extra first to move up and get him?
Even if we draft Curry our defense wont be the 85 Bears or 00 Ravens. If we trade up and draft Curry we wont have a top five defense in a couple years. You cant keep trading picks in future years and think you can restock a team. We have questions at DE and OLB now. We will have holes at the other DE spot, MLB, and possibly CB if we dont re-sign Rogers in the future.
Trading two first rounders and maybe other picks to move up to fourth overall to draft a OLB which is probably the third biggest need on this team overall is insane.

Even if we go for Eugene Monroe or if he falls to us Jason Smith that would be something that Snyderatto had neglected for years and would also be the kind of offensive line that could give a good quarterback with a slow delivery a chance to get the ball down the field
hmmmm…………..a great offensive line… reminds me of something or some team I liked or a part of a team that was the best to ever play or something… oh well I’ll think of it eventually, catch you later HOGS HAVEN.

FIrst you say trade up for Curry and now your talking about Jason Smith and Monroe who will both be top 4 picks. Make up your mind dude. Either way though its stupid to trade up. We have to many needs and too few draft picks to trade up for one player. We have 5 picks this year and 6 picks next year. Teams have more picks in this years draft than we do in the next two. If the Redskins trade up in this draft it will be the most ignorant move Snyder/Cerrato have made and thats saying something since they have made ALOT of them.

LISTEN DUDE
IMMEDIATE IMPACT PLAYERS DUDE are usually the first 5 picks in this case for need and impact I think it is pretty safe to say: Brian Orakpo DE/OLB, Aaron Curry OLB, Eugene Monroe OT, and Jason Smith OT, are not sitting on the bench learning the “system” for a season. These guys will start in the NFL DUDE, this season Dude, these players are phenoms at their position dude. I f you had the chance to have Demeco Ryans or Patrick Willis or Terrel Suggs or James Harrison or Albert Haynesworth. To add depth to either line where games are really won and lost is what I’m saying dude. Either JC can have 8 seconds to decide where he wants to put the football or the opposing quarterback wont have 2 seconds to dump it off…win-win DUDE

I like your passion in this post. I just dont think its in the best interest of the Redskins to trade two first round picks to move up and draft any player. Your comparing NFL Stars to draft picks who are unknown. For all we know right now players like Curry could be a stud or a bust. I just think its better for the Skins to stay at 13 or trade down. I think we have a shot at one of these players if we stay at 13 …. Michael Oher, Andre Smith, Brian Orakpo, or Everette Brown. I think we can get a impact OT or DE at 13. If not we can trade down add more picks and improve the overall outlook of this team.
We only have 11 picks in the next two drafts as of today. If we had more id say hey lets trade up and get a guy like Orakpo or Jason Smith. The problem is if we trade up we will be hurting in a couple years when we have too many holes and too few draft picks to fill them.

Orakpo will not be at 13. and the redskins as everybody knows and hates the fact tdont historically build through the draft and largely rely on free agency to fil most of their holes. That being said I would like to see Oher or Maybin at 13 on this team but if your’e gonna be a bear….,be a grizzly!!!!!
It would be upsetting to see another traded up for 1st round quarterback picked in the draft

I dont think Orakpo will be there at 13 when I did my latest mock draft. I threw him in there because some experts have him slipping to 13 and there is a slim shot of it. Id love for the Skins to draft Oher. I think he will be a top OT for 10 years. I dont like Maybin because I think hes too small. I think Maybin fits best as a 3-4 OLB.
I wouldnt want to trade up for a QB either.

Orakpo
will not be there at 13. If he is, then, it’s a NO-BRAINER, we take him. With the Bills trading their LT, it’s going to be a stretch for Oher to be there @ 13.

It was between Orakpo and Andre Smith for the Bengals at 6. Most people think the Bengals will take Smith but I think Orakpo is easily the best player on the board at that spot.

oh yeah “If we trade up and draft Curry we wont have a top five defense in a couple years” saying that is insane like drafting Curry is going to hold our defense back. Hey Pal OLB’s can and do frequently rush the passer too and in
orakpo’s case he can play both DE and OLB

Curry would be a solid player for us but he isnt going to make a impact as a rookie like you think. Orakpo is a DE imo. I dont think he can play OLB because he struggled in drills and just seems like a better fit as a DE. I Like Orakpo alot and hes the 2nd rated player on my big board. He should be a very good DE for a long time. I just wouldnt trade up for him because I dont think we should give up our first rounder next year.

Im not saying he cant but its rare for rookies to have impact years in their rookie season. Everyone thought Gholston would have a impact on the Jets in year one and he did little. I know they are two different types of LB but im just saying its not a sure thing.
Theres gonna be talent on the board at 13. I wouldnt trade up and give 2 1st rounders for a player.

Even if he didn’t have an “impact” his first year it wouldn’t matter he does not have to be rookie of the year bu he is overall the best player in this draft and I dont think giving up the 32nd overall pick next year is a bad trade thats a glorified 2nd rounder.

Barring injury, Aaron Curry WILL be an impact player his first year and likely a perennial Pro-Bowl candidate. Trading up for Curry would seal the only major hole in our defense and push us into definite contention for the # 1 defense.

How many did he have last year? The answer is 4. Hes not that much of a pass rush specialist. If he can get more sacks because of Haynesworth thats great. He still isnt a top DE and on the other side we got two grandpas over there.
Maybes its just the fact that I think our defensive coordinator is a idiot. I dont understand why our defense values a LDE that stops the run and gets no pressure on the QB. If im running a defense I want two ends that can get to the QB.
I know Haynesworth is the best DT in the league but how much can he help if we got maybe the worst group of DEs in the league?

How many did he have in 2007? 10.5. And that was pre-Haynesworth. Big Al is going to make our D line play night and day better compared to last year. Just look at the Titans’ defensive drop off when Haynesworth didn’t play.
Have a little faith in Blache. Very rarely can you find a LDE (like Strahan) that can both pass rush and stop the run. The biggest reason for resigning Daniels and Wynn is because they know our players and system, are solid run stoppers, and they were willing to come in at the veteran minimum.
I know Haynesworth is the best DT in the league but how much can he help if we got maybe the worst group of DEs in the league?
Remember, this is pretty much the same line (-Evans & Taylor) who, without Haynesworth, helped us have the 4th overall defense last year!

I have faith in Blache I just dont think he makes any sense. DEs rush the passer. I dont want DEs that stuff the run. Thats why the Skins cant force turnovers.
Evans and Taylor are alot better than Daniels and Wynn. Letting Evans sign with the 49ers still puzzles me.

There is a reason all the mocks have the Steelers taking an offensive lineman because their O line stinks…Roethlisberger was one of the most sacked quarterbacks in the NFL so that stat about Jones having 3.5 against the Steelers means less than nothing. You dont want DE’s to stop the run thats who else is going to do it??? Maybe we can ask the other teams offense to just run up the middle you know as a favor…..
by David.Watts on Apr 18, 2009 5:21 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
In a 4-3 defense the tackles and ends all have responsibility to stop the run because the bulk of your defense is on the actual line. The Linebackers in a 4-3 play short coverage and occasionally rush the passer. This is probably why we ranked so well against the run last season R-E-S-P-O-N-S-I-B-I-L-I-T-Y against the run.
oh yeah..that “idiot” coached the defense that held the Eagles to 3 points, …3 POINTS!!!

Dude not all 4-3 defenses use DEs mainly to stop the run. Bringing in Daniels and Wynn is really stupid. When we cant get a pass rush on the QB this year you know who to blame for bringing them in.
Dude I could of coached that defense. Hell that was the only game Taylor looked healthy and he made plays non stop on McNabb as the 4-3 LDE. Without Taylor we lose that game. Thanks for making my point to why we need pass rush from the LDE spot.
Daniels can lift 600 lbs but until they put a bench press on the 50 yard line that doesnt mean ****.

Normally, with you but...
Take it easy on the old folks not providing significant pressure. Wynn and Daniels will be solid players this year, as will Buzzbee and Wilson. The thought that the Defensive line is the greatest need is the same thought the Redskins FO thought last year when Daniels and Buzzbee went down…2 draft pick later Taylor is gone.
Blache coached the Defense to #4 last season, his defense values a line which stops the run and provides enough pressure on the QB to allow the blizing LB or Safety to get sacks.
A drafted DE would be ok, but if it does not occur like in your mock and the Redskins go with an OL no big deal

Dude defensive end has been a need since ive been watching the Skins. Thats been over 13 years. Daniels and WYnn will be solid vs the run but we will have zero pass rush.
I dont care if we draft OT, DE, or OLB at 13. As long as we fill a need. Im just saying that anyone who thinks DE isnt a need because we got 2 bums at LDE needs to watch a little more football.

IMO,
pound for pound, Curry is the best defensive player in the draft and will have the most impact in his first year.

I wonder about Brown
having the same issues as Maybin, in that he might not have the size to hold up as an every down defensive end at the next level.

I think Brown can he has a nice build. I agree with Maybin I see him strickly as a 3-4 OLB.

CP comments about Jason Campbell
I agree 100% with CP he is very smart and understands the business side of the game, I just worry about Vinny Cerrato he scares me and I think Daniel can do better then Vinny at the helm, maybe Cohwer or Parcells these guys know talent. Vinny does not have a good track record and the money Mr. Synder puts out he should be getting a much better return on the Field. CP ever thought about running for political office maybe Senator Portis you have my vote. You are great player and a better person and role model for the kids out there I saw you on the news with those special kids and you where having a blast. Always keep that and god in your heart and you will never go wrong!!

He was being asked about it by NFL Live.

Also,
You can’t drop the N bomb on this site, and probably not any of the other sites in this community either. It’ll get you banned. It is not only an ignorant thing to say, but it does not add to the debate in any constructive way. Not sure how someone can think it would be okay to write something like that, but for those who are unsure…it is not funny, smart, or cool to use that kind of language here.

Please no Sanchez
Sportsnation Poll: 71% say JC + a 1st rd. draft pick > (29%) Mark Sanchez. Snyderrato, listen to your fans this time

WR`S
That`s what the Skins need more than anything to get themselves in playoffs, and more. They need a big time WR. Yes we have Moss and Randel El but we need a WR with the likes of Boldin from the Cards. That would open up the passing game big time which would open the field for Portis as well

Which WR is worth a 13th pick?
