Clinton Portis, RB, Washington RedskinsNews | Statistics | Player vs. Team | Utilization | Depth Chart Redskins | Portis once asked for Sellers to be benched Dan Steinberg, of The Washington Post, reports Washington Redskins RB Clinton Portis said during a television interview that he did ask the coaches to bench FB Mike Sellers during a game because he did not think Sellers was playing up to his standard. Redskins | Portis looking forward to playing for Shanahan NFL.com reports Washington Redskins RB Clinton Portis said he is looking forward to playing for head coach Mike Shanahan next season. Portis played for the Denver Broncos when Shanahan was the head coach. Portis also said he is not considering retirement. Redskins | Allen indicates Portis wanted back Matt Mosley, of ESPN.com, reports Washington Redskins general manager Bruce Allen indicated during a radio interview that the Redskins hope to have RB Clinton Portis as part of their future. "We're looking forward to seeing Clinton help us win," Allen said. Allen said that Portis has spoken with head coach Mike Shanahan since Shanahan was hired. Redskins | Portis still wearing corrective lenses Rick Maese, of The Washington Post, reports Washington Redskins RB Clinton Portis (concussion) continues to wear corrective lenses prescribed by doctors to help Portis with vision problems that have bothered him since he suffered a concussion Nov. 8. Redskins | Portis, Campbell make up Rick Maese, of The Washington Post, reports Washington Redskins RB Clinton Portis said he and QB Jason Campbell have spoken and that any problems between the two were squashed right away. Portis had previously made comments about Campbell's lack of leadership skills; however, Portis only meant that Campbell was not a poor leader, just not an especially vocal one. Redskins | Portis expected to return in 2010 Rick Maese, of The Washington Post, reports Washington Redskins RB Clinton Portis (concussion) definitely expects to be back with the team next season and be fully healthy, although he has not yet been cleared medically after suffering a concussion. He says he feels good and is excited about the Redskins' coaching changes. Redskins | S. Mitchell says Portis could have worked harder Jason Reid and Rick Maese, of The Washington Post, reports former Washington Redskins running backs coach Stump Mitchell was asked whether RB Clinton Portis would benefit from better conditioning and better practice habits. Mitchell said, "That's a slam dunk. Clinton could've worked harder." Mitchell believes Portis is still capable of being a Pro Bowl-caliber running back, but only if he prepeares like one. Redskins | Campbell defends himself as a leader Jason Reid, of The Washington Post, reports Washington Redskins QB Jason Campbell took offense to comments made by RB Clinton Portis, who critiqued Campbell's leadership qualities. Campbell fired back, saying Portis was a player who put himself above the team. "How is he going to say I'm not a leader?" Campbell said. "I mean, that's just not true. To me, that's somebody who shows that they don't know what a real leader is. A leader is not someone who leads by the wrong example. A leader is someone who is trying to do the right thing and trying to lead by example, and not just (being) about themselves. There's a reason guys get selected as captains, and there's a reason guys don't get selected as captains. Obviously, he doesn't have the respect of the locker room to be a captain. For someone to try to take a shot at me at the end of the season, after they haven't even been around, only speaks about their character anyways." Redskins | Portis endorses Shanahan for head coaching job Jason Reid, of The Washington Post, reports Washington Redskins RB Clinton Portis would like to see Mike Shanahan become the team's next head coach. "If they have a change, then of course they would get the thumbs-up vote for me for Coach Shanahan," Portis said. "If Coach Zorn is done, I would think that's a great direction to go in, if you can get Coach Shanahan. But I don't know if Coach Zorn will be gone." Redskins | Portis feels time with team could be over Barry Svrluga, of The Washington Post, reports Washington Redskins RB Clinton Portis has accepted the possibility that his time with the team may soon come to an end. Portis understands that he could be released in the offseason. "I can't sit and tell you I want my career to be over here, but at the same time, you got to understand the business side of things," Portis said. "I've been here for six years, and we went to the playoffs twice. I think Mr. (Daniel) Snyder (the team's owner), with the pressure that's on him with the organization, (is) probably going to have to make changes. For everything that (goes) on, I'm to blame, so why wouldn't I be the change?"
