RB Question


Quick question for you "in the know" Washington fans: What is the current status of the running back situation? I would assume that Portis would be the hands down starter, given his history in the Shan Man's zone blocking system and his ability as a blocker, but the only information I can find says it is still a battle between LJ (????), the player fromerly known as fast Willie Parker, and maybe Ryan Torain (that I can understand a little given his relative youth and knowledge of the zone blocking system). Is Portis really so far gone that LJ and FWP are threats to take carries away?

I'm hoping real Redskin fans will have more insight to offer than the general mainstream media which seems to only care about your talented, fat, injured, cry-baby of a DT.

Thanks in advance for any insight!

PS -- As a lifelong Broncos fan, I find myself now also rooting for the Redskins since you not only have my favorite coach, but also a ton of the Glory Years Broncos as coaching interns (TD, Atwater, etc). Good luck this year!
