Portis expecting to be the star
The Washington Redskins have a very crowded backfield situation as we sit here today and it remains to be seen how it will shake out.
The incumbent, Clinton Portis, is down to 217 pounds and seems motivated to be a force again.
Maybe the acquisition of other running backs got under his skin, but he seems fired up to play this year.
Portis said he expects to the be the main man for the Redskins and that he runs things in Washington.
It’s important to note that head coach Mike Shanahan is in charge now and tends to use his running back until he starts to slow, then moves on to the next guy.
