<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>In a surprise announcement, coach Joe Gibbs said Saturday he thinks Portis will be a backup in the Redskins' Monday night opener against the Vikings, the Associated Press reports. Portis has also been upgraded from questionable to probable on the injury report, although Ladell Betts remains set to start. "If I had to say, I think Ladell will start and Clinton will play a backup role in the game," Gibbs said. "That's the way I think it's going to go. I think that's what we've tried to accurately portray during the week." Although Portis stated otherwise earlier, he's changed his tune a bit and now says, "I'm about 93.9 right now," he said. "I've still got two more days to get to 100 percent. ... At the rate things have been increasing, it looks pretty good." There's still too many questions for our liking, so if you have even a decent option for Week 1, continue to use it over Portis, but if you absolutely were stuck for Week 1, it now looks like you might get something out of him.</div><div align="center">Source</div>
god, it never ceases to amaze me how much talent the nfl has at running back. i mean, if a guy like Larry Johnson could go out of nowhere to be arguably the best RB in the nfl, that just tells you that there is too much talent.
