It's a shame Portis was in a dated offense for so long. He was forced to run the ball constantly into eight man fronts. I remember in the '04 opener against Tampa Bay and he broke that 64 yard run- I thought that we were all in for a great couple of years. That season I think he finished with a 3.9 ypc... what a disappointment. I'm glad we have the philosophy now to see some exciting running.
