PORTIS is not the problem with the running game. We FINALLY saw a few passes into the flat last night. A couple had moderate success. The other two had great potential, but were totally botched by a bad pass, and a late pass (due to a bobbled snap by Brunell). On the rest of the plays going into the line, he either had a guy on him immediately after getting the ball, or there was ABSOLUTELY no space to run anywhere.

As far as Portis breaking tackles, you could not be more wrong. HIS method of "breaking" tackles is exactly like Barry Sanders. He "breaks" them by avoiding them with jukes and spin moves. I'll take that in a RB ANY time. Gibbs needs to get him into a situation where his massive skills have a CHANCE to be used. Then he will pay off big time.
