 Washington Post - Clinton Portis doesn't regret the trade that sent him from the Broncos to the Redskins, but he does wish he could run behind a better offensive line, according to Washington Post.
"I really wish," Portis said, "that I could switch places."
He ran for 1,262 yards on 325 carries in Washington last season.
"I wish I could go to a team for one week with the best offensive line, or the team with the best scheme, and switch places with their back and see how others would do in this system," Portis said. "I get a lot of touches with nowhere to run. I could see if I got all those touches and had some lanes, but there's nine or 10 men in the box."
Portis rushed for 84 yards on 23 carries against the Giants in the team's season opener last Thursday.
"You know, I'm dodging all the people in the backfield, fighting just to get back to the line of scrimmage, and people [are] looking around like, 'Oh, he just missed it.' I'm dodging people getting the handoff, because nobody's really respecting us as a passing team."
"Now, I can't look back and say, 'Man, I wish I was still in Denver,' because I think being here made me a man." [READ] |
