Sometimes I feel like we push the ball to him a bit too much.

Im not saying dont play him at all, but if we're up, limit his touches greatly.

I agree with you, but in reverse...that is, I say limit his touches and emphasize the pass more. Then, when we've got a 4th quarter lead, give Portis the rock and let him burn the clock and finish off the opposition.
