Pats worked out Clinton Portis

[BaltimorePatsFan]

Portis is one of the best pass-protecting running backs. I wouldn't mind seeing him on third downs if Faulk gets cut or makes it to IR.

Clinton Portis showed up incredibly out of shape for his workout with #Patriots - told he shed 25lbs in two weeks (!) and wasn't fit at all

The only FA left that I want is Sharper. Portis has alot of mileage on his body and he's just about done.

 

[PatsWickedPissah]

Do. NOT. Like!

Morris is looking less and less likely by the day to make the team

It appears Vereen is off to IR writting is on wall. Just saw another report of it happening. I guess the globe is BS


why do u think we have these auditions? Vereen is headed to IR and Sammy ain't that good

 

[TheSolderKing]

I really hope I am wrong about Vereen to IR... but how far behind is he? These tryouts don't look good for his status

id love to keep him on active squad, but what can he learn in a couple weeks w/o practice?

There are a few NFL players I want absolutely no part of. Ochocinco, Haynesworth and Moss were not 3 of those players. Clinton Portis is.

Can't believe they're looking at this world-class cancer.

Huh? Doesn't really matter but I didn't even realize that anybody hated Clinton Portis, or even that there was anything to hate or not hate. "world-class cancer"?

Among the best pass-blocking RBs I've seen play, in his day.

Why is it that every player the Pats workout, so many assume that player will not only sign with the Pats but also be an integral part of the team's plans on a weekly basis for the rest of the season?


Pats worked out Quentin Moses a few days ago. Should I assume that since then the two sides have been working on a contract? Obviously not.


I'm starting to wish the Pats returned to the more secretive days of a few years ago, in terms of who it is the Pats are supposedly working out and considering to offer a contract.

Something tells me that we may actually grab Clinton Portis due to the questionable health of Kevin Faulk, Sammy Morris, and Shane Vereen. And I can actually see him in a Patriot uniform.

Everytime you post you sound like a teenage girl fretting over the lastest plot twist in Twilight.

Full of panic-stricken open ended questions that only someone on the coaching staff would actually be able to answer properly.

You have absolutely no idea what the Portis try out actually means.

The boring and non-dramatic scenario (which naturally you reject so you can get your panties in a twist) is that Belichick is doing his 'due diligence' thing and preparing for scenarios/injuries that may evolve further down the line.

At least we should be thankful you didn't make another dumb thread about it.

TheSolderKing, you would do well to listen more to others. The signal to noise ratio in your posts is extremely low. Like this one, you often post just raw, uninformed speculation or personal opinions with little to no support.

You have been a member here since April 2011 which was about 120 days ago. In that time, you have created more than 1,200 posts. Do you really think the other members of this board need to read your nonsense ten times a day, especially with your poor English like "u think" and "ain't"?

Please clean up your act and cut down on the noise, especially when you use such poor English.

Ain't is a perfectly acceptable English word. It has been in the Oxford dictionary for decades.

And you're no moderator.

You are familiar with the term 'hoist by your own petard'?

The use of ain‘t was widespread in the 18th century, typically as a contraction for am not. It is still perfectly normal in many dialects and informal speech in both Britain and North America. Today, however , it does not form part of standard English and should never be used in formal or written contexts.

Agreed! Just say 'am not'!

I'm not is far better than 'I ain't'

you do not like "short cuts" pardon the internet type (?) we are on the internet are we not?... you call out "ain't" 'u" it is a short and I know ain't isn't a word, but it conveys the same message aand it sounds better to. Most of my posts happened during the DRAFT. You can view my skewed record. I wracked up 80 during that period of time. My Vereen comment is SPECULATION. The guy has missed nearly the entirety of camp and he is so far behind it is troubling. I don't need people like you to begrudge me when I make an educated guess on an instance like this. Vereen is most likely headed to IR and I hate that notion. We can't make our own predictions here? Not making my own speculation Nordic??? That is a quaint idea packed with foolery. should I use w/ for a short cut or is that poor grammar b/c I take a shortcut?

edit. I like this board a great deal. Crumpler I mean old balls says hi. Speculation is BAD
I really hope my intuition is wrong about Vereen to IR.
what is so bad about making personal speculation here and there?
I have brought a lot of good things to this board as well in terms of comments and insight.

Just because you can use shortcuts, abbreviations and poor language constructs on the internet with SMS services, Twitter and Instant Messenger platforms does not mean that such are useful or appropriate here on a bulletin board. I would encourage you to use the bigger space to flesh out your thoughts better.

There also is nothing wrong with pure speculation posts. However, do you really need to make two in a row ten minutes apart with no one even bothering to respond? That is an example of why I said that your posts have a low signal to noise ratio.

I sense that you have a higher ignore rate than many posters to this bulletin board. That should tell you something. Certainly my neutrality when encountering yet another of your posts is deteriorating. I thought some constructive feedback might help you, but given your reaction, my use of the ignore function looks more likely.
