ESPN: Clayton: Silencing the Critics

[JCav06]

http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/columns/story?columnist=clayton_john&id=2277488


PHILADELPHIA -- Critics were wrong. The game hasn't passed Joe Gibbs by.

Gibbs made the Pro Football Hall of Fame because he's smart, organized and players love him. And with the game, season and playoffs all on the line against the Eagles Sunday afternoon, Gibbs heeded the advice of a star player.

"Guts and power," Washington running back Clinton Portis shouted early in the fourth quarter. "You want to win the game, don't you?"

Marshall is hurt? I didn't hear that one :(

If we can get Rogers back on the field the loss of Springs will be mitigated to some degree.

I don't like the idea of Walt Harris and Christian Morton running out of the tunnel next Saturday as the starting tandem.

GUTS AND POWER!!!

I love this team. Congrats Joe Gibbs, you deserve the apologizes

He was hurt on Taylor touchdown, but the Larry said that he walked off on his own. Hope he's okay as well as Ade Jimoh.

Congratulations Coach Gibbs. I hope we can get some of our dbs healthy.

[Spaceman Spiff]

Way to be clayton!

[a_good_brotha]

Wait a minute. Am I dreaming? I see an ESPN article saying the critics were wrong about something related to the Redskins. And now on Sportscenter, the game highlights is the first thing being shown.

[laurent]

Gibbs junked the concept of having slow possession receivers such as Laveranues Coles and Rod Gardner and went with the quicker smaller guys

I thought this was kind of funny.

to be honest...clayton has always had a pretty good grasp of our team. He's been the only espn analyst to give us a fair assessment the whole year, not just starting now..

[TheREALJBird]

Clayton is the best NFL analyst they have, he tells everything like he sees it and isn't biased

[NOVA2Tampa]

GUTS AND POWER, BABY!!! HTTR!!! :cheers:

[Mister Happy]

The quote was from the Giants game. Clinton was talking about what plays Gibbs should run - Gut and Power.

[Simmsm88]

Yea I remember after the Denver game he wrote an article saying we are for real.

[SlinginSammy HOF '63]

Clayton is the only one with a brain at ESPN or SI.

[Dan T.]

Someone should show Lavernaeious this article that Dr. Clayton thinks of him as a slow, possession receiver. As if he isn't angry enough already.

[God Help Me, I'm in Texas]

I'm dreaming.

I love this team.

[Rogers22]

Guts and Power. I like it
