Commanders | Portis wants to win a ring or two
Tue, 4 Jul 2006 11:08:43 -0700
Casey Husbands, of Commanders.com, reports Washington Commanders RB Clinton Portis would like to win a Super Bowl ring or two. Portis likes the changes the team has made on offense heading into the 2006 season. What's an opposing defense to do in 2006? Responded Portis: "They'll have to pick their poison." What lies ahead for him as a possible target could be this: re-establishing himself as one of the game's most prolific touchdown makers. With the Denver Broncos, Portis found his way to the end zone 31 times in his first two seasons in the league. He slipped to seven scores for the Commanders of 2004 and jumped back up to 12 last year. Asked about what his spot in 2006, Portis predicted at minicamp that some Commanders offensive players were in for "spectacular" seasons. As to whether he'll ever achieve additional franchise records, Portis says it would be nice but at the same time not essential. "All of the stats don't matter," insists Portis. "Every year, you're going to have a guy come in from college who feels like he's the best running back in the game. Right now, all of the stats and the publicity don't really matter. All that matters is wins."
