I read an article. I hope I can find it again. If I can I will post it. But said Portis ran a 4.3 like a year ago. Remember the race in OTAs between him and Landry? You think Landry is slow? They were neck to neck. Portis is only 28. he became a power back because of Gibbs. That's when he put on that weight. I think that is what happened. As far as long runs. people usually stack the box against us so that we can't run as effectively. Saying that CP still had the most first downs in the league. That is not a small thing. It could be the difference in winning games. Which was evident in the last 8 games. He was much of our success in the first hal of the season last year. Clinton is second in yards among active rushers behind only LT. AD doesn't have enough attempts to be put on the list yet. But he will be there also soon. LT CP AD. I think are the 3 best backs in the league (not in the specific order). Long runs are good and we all would love for him to break one or have a scat back that can break one. But this goes back to the arguement that was going on in the off season about which backs should stay or go. Think about it for a second...

Jacobs/Ward - NY
Barber/Jones - Dallas
White/Johnson - Tenn


Portis is faster than Jacobs, Barber and White in my opinion. But he also has power. He is a better all around back than them. But as far as that second guy. Betts is not that good and I wont even go to the 3rd strong RBs on these teams

Giants ran 3 backs last year. Jacobs, Bradshaw & Ward.

We saw three from this yesterady. With Jacobs, Ward & Ware. We probably would have saw three even if Ware didn't get hurt. Dallas has Barber, Jones and Choice. Ill end the convo here..
