Uh Oh, Choo Choo

by John Miller

Uh oh, did we take down another one?  Choo Choo is banged up.

 

Clinton Portis missed Wednesday and Thursday with a hip pointer.

 

Jim Zorn said he probably won’t practice until the Saturday walkthrough.  Where did this hip thing come from?  Portis was a monster last week vs. St. Louis. His last 4 carries in the game went for 43 yards and ended with a TD.

 

Once the Draft Sharks 1st Round Bust Curse worms its way in, you’re in trouble. We’ve hit 7 of 9 Bust picks and even when we miss, you’re going down next year anyway. Heck, we even forced a guy to retire and run away to India.

? ? ? 

Priest Holmes went down the next season with a torn MCL. Brian Westbrook?  Yeah, he burned us… but look at him now. I genuinely hope, for all Portis-owners, that he’s OK.  The guy’s been playing out of his mind.

Update: Portis is questionable… and it’s a 4:15 pm game. Maybe we’ll get more info after the Saturday walkthrough.
