The Redskins are nothing without Portis. I still can't believe people want him out of here.

That's the point I was gonna make. The last pick Campbell threw, he got layed out by an unblocked linebacker while Betts tried to help on a Coleman (I think) who was already being double teamed. He can't block to save his life. That's why he's not a #1 back, that and he pretty just runs to daylight and then doesn't break enough tackles. He hits the right wholes, makes nice cutbacks, but never really seems like he's anything to fear for a D. I know he ran for 155 and a TD, but he sucked at blocking/picking up the blitz and just didn't really make a lot of meaningful runs after the first quarter.
