Redskins, according star running back Clinton Portis who is the guest analyst on the NFL Network Monday and Tuesday.

Portis said he and a number of Skins players spoke up in favor of Gregg Williams as Joe Gibbs replacement early this year.

Portis is appreciative of what Williams did while with the team. Williams is ”a great guy” says Portis, but Zorn brings a new approach and a new attitude that will benefit the team.  

In Zorn’s playbook, the offense will get a better look at what defense they are up against. In Al Saunders’ system, there were so many pre-snap shifts and movement that the players didn’t get so good a look.

The video segment with Portis’ Redskins 2008 Outlook is up on NFL.com.  

CP’s appearance on the show provided another opportunity to look at Clinton’s goofy characters, from Tu-Tu, to Dr. I Don’t Know to Sheriff Gon Getcha. Southeast Jerome appears in a video of the segment. Jerome mysteriously disappeared just before a Giants game in New York.

Portis revealed that the “Barber twins” are persons of interest in the case.

Portis will debut several characters tonight who might make an appearance in his 2008 press conferences. Fans will vote on NFL.com later today on which character they would like to keep. Portis has a sense of which character will win fan favor, but gave no hints Monday.

The Inside Clinton’s Head video is up on NFL.com.  

Portis is guest analyst on NFL Access on the NFL Network at 7:00 p.m. EDT.
