Total combined rushing yards as a team, a pedestrian 1 yard rushing. Do I smell an all-time franchise low? Now that's puttin' somethin' on 'em that AJAX won't take off. We have 3 very  productive rushers in our backfield, a glance at their roster, reveals mighty slim pickin's. The smart thing to do might be to stay "in house" and demand better from you own team. There might be somebody out there that is foolish enough to believe that this team would be better with Champ Bailey  in place of Portis, but I haven't met 'em. Bailey is a good cornerback, but it doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out an offense starts with a dominate running game. Obviously it starts with the line, but if you do not have a back with the skill and will to turn those creases into first downs, your spinning you wheels on offense. The man's numbers don't lie. He's better than anyone they can put of the field and they know it. Sometimes it really sucks when reality stares you in the face! September cannot get here fast enough!</strong> Now, now, Redskinsguy, ease up on ‘em, there still smarting from what we put on ‘em in December.

He also looks good in a dress and acting like an idiot. I am sorry, but I think it is safe to say you'd rather have Champ back. Portis is useless. Yeah, he is a super star Tulip.

None of those five players are Dallas Cowboys. If that's mediocrity, how terrible must the rushing game in Dallas be?
