Former Washington Redskin John Riggins decided to pop off about the team while down at the Super Bowl. His biggest criticism? Clinton Portis.

“He’s already a headache,” Riggins said at a media briefing by Sirius satellite radio. “You mean is he going to get worse? I don’t know. I said that at the end of the season and I believe that unless he changes the way he views himself and views his contributions to the team, then I think that that could be problematic for the Redskins. It’s a bad situation, created probably by the people who run the team, that he’s been allowed to take the course that he has.

“I don’t think there’s any turning back now because obviously to a certain extent Clinton Portis has the team over a barrel from my understanding of the amount of money that he’s owed, guaranteed money that becomes really cost-prohibitive to get rid of him over a [salary] cap issue. There’s not that many teams that would be interested in Clinton Portis, I don’t think, and so they have a bad situation on their hands. [That's] my personal take on it.”

But he didn’t stop there.

“I think that, number one, the offense is extremely suspect,” Riggins said. “You saw when they played against the better defenses–not only when they played against the better defenses, it didn’t make any difference who they played–they couldn’t put any points on the board. They were able to run the ball earlier in the year. I thought the line did a tremendous job of blocking earlier in the year. Portis did a decent job of finding the holes. And then all of a sudden, that went away.

“They could never really throw the ball effectively. I don’t think they really have any what you’d call big-play people. Maybe Santana Moss. But like I say, he’s a number two [receiver] and he’s your number one. If you’re talking about a championship team, he’s a number two. So they’ve got problems there. And I think some of the guys are going backwards a little bit. The offensive line obviously needs some help. So they’ve got a lot of work to do there. They don’t really have anybody who can rush the passer consistently over on defense. They’re not in the catbird’s seat in the NFC East.”
