Victims of Baltimore's defense

Found December 09, 2008 on Blogimore Ravens:
PLAYERS: Clinton Portis,  Donovan McNabb
TEAMS: Baltimore Ravens,  Washington Redskins,  Philadelphia Eagles

Baltimore threw a wrench in Donovan McNabb's legacy. Now, after appearing in only one second-half series against Baltimore, it is Clinton's turn to bitch and moan.

Portis on his terrible head coach, Jim Zorn:
"We got a genius for a head coach, I don't know, I'm sure he on top of things. He's got everything figured out. Hey, that's up to him. All I can do is when he calls a play is go out and try to execute to the best of my ability... maybe you feel like you need to sever ties, split ties with me? Split ties with me. But don't sit here and throw me out like I don't pay attention, like I don't know what's going on, like I'm making mistakes, I'm the problem. You know, so, it is what it is, bro."
Portis should be thankful that he was on the bench. The Ravens would have shut him down and/or Mendenhall'ed his a$$ -- and for what? To miss the playoffs?

Thanks to SPORTSbyBROOKS for reminding me of Baltimore's dominating performance against Washington. I'd almost forgotten.
