Danny came in and made plays. He's going to have to lead this offense. There are no ifs, ands or buts about it. Whoever is under center has to lead the team at all times. I think Danny took a big step in doing that today.
More Quotes from Clinton Portis:
Before every game, me and Sean and Santana come out together. Coming from 'The U', knowing their capabilities and knowing their character, you don't want to let them down. Once other guys see how you play for each other and depend on each other, it spreads throughout the locker room.Clinton Portis
That alone is going to spark a world of interest.

Things are working for us. Coach mixed it up Sunday. We knew early on we were pounding the ball in the running game, pounding the ball and then he threw deep to Santana Moss, and that caught everybody off-balance and we're all in the huddle like, 'Yes, perfect play-calling.' So as a team, everybody did what they had to do.

I actually have learned to become more patient, just knowing what the guys are doing around me. Understanding the scheme, understanding our blocking, basically just reading it. I think last year I just got to the point where I wanted to make a play, and I was trying to do it on my own instead of taking the 4 and 5 yards. This year I take the 4 and 5, line up and keep pounding, and when the big play comes, it comes.

They didn't have to let me go. I was tied into a contract, and I think Coach Shanahan, being the man that he is, allowed me the opportunity to go out and seek a better living for myself, and he gave me that, and I really appreciate it.

But Portis is still the same guy who says exactly what he feels -- offering blunt critiques of the offense on more than one occasion defending friend and beleaguered teammate Sean Taylor throughout his troubled offseason -- and accepts the consequences. I don't mean anybody no harm, ... I'm just going to speak my mind, good or bad.
