He missed 1 and a half games he was benched in favor of Bett's, I guess the coaches felt running the ball was a little more important than the occasional block.
And I wonder how healthy Portis would have been if he ran the ball for Spurrier? As I said circumstances dictate stat's and if you think Portis would have run for 1500 yds under SS now you have me laughing, he would be lucky if he had 1000 yard's, LUCKY!
By the way B. Mitch has also called out Portis for those very thing's, not toughing it out, and I think he know's a little bit about a little guy fighting for those yard's.

none of those teams had a Mark Brunell throwing to good ol 50/50. this had to be our worst passing game in Redskins history. even when Ramsey came to save the day, no one lined up outside the box.
you question Portis effort and toughness but dismiss his actions and his numbers. if it wasnt for a torn pectoral muscle in the second to last game of the season, he'd have his 3rd 1500 yd season right now.
yes a 200lb 'primadonna' back that blocks for Ramsey like his life depended on it, what's Betts' excuse?
all due respect to Brian Mitchell but he wishes he had as many carries as a straight running back. HE was the prototypical 3rd down 'change of pace' back.
those 300+ carries Portis had this year weren't all outside the tackles, and neither were his 3000yds in Denver. Betts hasn't come close to showing he's an every down back yet, Portis has. even if its not in the mold of John Riggins.
