Wednesday, August 23, 2006Where's the Love for T.J. Duckett???C'mon Skins fans! With Portis hurt, we've all been begging for that power running back -- that guy who can run 'em over like Riggins, give 'em speed like Stephen Davis, and rack up the TD's like Terry Allen. Who is this miracle machine? T.J. Duckett: The Washington Redskins have acquired running back T.J. Duckett from Atlanta as part of a three-team trade, according to sources with knowledge of the situation. Duckett, 25, will bolster their depth at that position with star Clinton Portis recovering from a shoulder injury. The Redskins sent a draft pick to Denver as part of the deal, sources said, and the Broncos sent disgruntled wide receiver Ashley Lelie to the Falcons.Now don't get me wrong -- I'm a Clinton Portis fan, my son has his jersey (the other one has a LaVar Arrington jersey), and he is an incredible back. T.J. Duckett though is a powerback who can definitely plow through the line and take blockers with him... knowing he worked with Warrick Dunn is a plus too, because between him and Portis that is a powerful running combination. Now if we could only figure out what the heck we're doing wrong on defense... any thoughts? What are we missing, the mere threat of #56?

... or something like that.
He has, but nothing too serious (orthoscopic knee surgery). His numbers were depressed over the last two years thanks to two simple words: Mike. Vick.
I think the Skins are going to be a perfect fit for T.J., especially given Portis' speed and a beefed up line. T.J. just might be the spark to get that running game moving so our WRs can open up a bit!
That doesn't help our D though -- I can't figure it out, what's going wrong on defense???
TJ Duckett = GERALD RIGGS!!!!!
They both came from the Falcons
SUPER BOWL BABY!
It's preseason. Ask me again after the first real game.
Go Big Ben! (and keep your helmet on!!!)
